I Make Homemade Bread Now

Homemade Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

I have used this recipe to make bread three times. Every time it was delicious.  Beautiful? Not so much. The first two batches (not included in the the "make bread three times") ended up in the trash. Tip #1 Use All Purpose Flour and not Pastry Flour. Tip #2 Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water. Or you may kill your yeast and your dough will not rise as this beautiful bowl of dough did.

Look how big it is!

Beautiful Not/ Tasty Yes

Freezer Meal Favorites

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Shells

I made two of these at once. Made one for lunch and put one in the freezer for dinner during the week. They were a hit and even turned out perfect the first time. A rare occasion for me.

Homemade Pizza Dough

We found this pizza stone at the thrift store for five dollars. It replaced the one that started on fire then broke in three pieces a while back. My kitchen skills are lacking. But I have dreams of doing big things in the kitchen. I will get there one pizza at a time.
