Bread Baking Day

[Seldom]

Yup, today was bread baking day for me. I included my "bread-making Bible" in the photo. Karen uses this one and several others but I pretty much stick with this one.

Wiley's making trap pans and I'm filling bread pans!

[TRAPnHUNT]

There is nothing like walking into the house and ya get the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. I love that stuff! ;D

[patricimo54]

Looking really good Mike! I believe I have been inspired to try my hand at loaf bread. I mostly do flat breads and some form of corn bread.

[maritimer]

Looks good Mike. ;D

Hamburger buns tomorrow!

You can't beat fresh bread right out of the oven. We bake breads in our antique wood burner all winter long but rarely ever in the warmer months.

Good stuff. ;D

When my mom used to make fresh dinner rolls.....I would drool!!!

Nothing like the smell of fresh bread!

Any one do fried bread? My mom use to make it and we put butter and jelly in them while they were still hot. We still do them now with my girls and they love them to.

The Indians showed me how to make bannok during my guiding days in Manitoba. Man I love that stuff.

Some old farmer told us boys' one day: If she don't make bread she aint worth chit. He said it not me, and don't tell my wife! lol
She makes bread and I would'nt trade her for anything.

Here's a favorite in our house called "Potato Bannock"

2 1/2 C. Flour
2 Tbsps. Baking Powder
2 Tbsps. Sugar
1 Tsp. Salt
1/4 C. Shortening
1 C. Milk
1 C. Cooled Mashed Potatoes
1 Tbsp of Milk

In a large bowl, combine flour, bkg powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in the milk and potatoes. Transfer mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8 to 10 times, work in extra flour if dough is to sticky.
Place mixture on a ungreased cookie sheet, pat into shape with your hands to form a large oval and/or circle about 1" in. thick. A light brush with milk, and bake at 450 degs. for approximately 15' to 20' mins.or Golden Brown
