I have been doing a whole lot of cooking and other things and have not gotten a chance to post lately.






The top dish a my homemade hamburger helper and home canned greenbeans.






And this is french bread ready to get cooked.
I have found with bread that the more often you make it the more acquainted you become with their little quirks .
You learn from repetition the way the dough should feel and smell and stretch in your hands.

Here we have at the top 2 loaves of wheat bread and two loaves of white bread. The bottom picture shows the white bread risen but not yet baked.

The white bread was a new recipe I found online Julia Child's White Bread
It makes a very pretty and fluffy white bread.
I still prefer the white bread recipe from Rock Recipes
This is still hands down my favorite white bread recipe to date.
And it is also what I use as a base for my wheat bread.
I follow the recipe replacing 2 cups of the white flour with wheat flour and and 2 tablespoons of gluten.
I use Stone-Buhr  whole wheat flour.

I also have here Cinnamon Raisin Bread.
This is a yeast batter bread. With a 25 min. prep time and a 35 Min. cook time.
Fast ,easy and yummy. Forewarned this is a very thick batter . Uncooked but risen in the pan and then cooked and cut.

I hope you enjoyed today's selections, Leticia
