Bread!


From this................


to this!

Yes, I've been playing with Instagram. But more importantly, I've been playing with bread!  Bread can be so easy to make, especially if you have Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day.  I like making flat breads because they don't need much shaping. For the focaccia I made in the picture above, I just scraped it out of the container onto the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, let rest while the oven heats up, pop it in the oven for 15 minutes and voila -fresh bread from the oven! 

I try to bake in the mornings during the summer. Even with the AC on, my kitchen is no fun to be in after mid-day.  I'm going to experiment with making pita using a cast iron skillet on the stove, which would mean fresh bread without turning the oven on!  And if we had a gas grill, we would be grilling pizzas all the time. I have successfully made buns to go with bratwurst, and I have plans to make hamburger buns as well. Oh, so little time, so much bread! Not to mention, fresh strawberry jam....

    1. There are directions for making the dough without a stand mixer. I haven't tried it yet because it is just so darn easy with the mixer!
