baking bread

May 30

We find that baking bread has become almost automatic around here. If we plan to have rolls or bread that day we just start a batch of bread a couple hours prior and it is no big deal. You don’t need expensive equipment, we do it by hand. All of my daughters except the 6 yr old can make bread and make it better than most. We make loaf bread but we also make sandwich rolls and dinner rolls.   Bread does not have to be hard.  It can become automatic for your family also. If you don’t  bake bread I encourage you to learn. Here is an ebook I wrote on the subject, from my bookstore.

 Most homemakers that don’t make bread are afraid they can’t make perfect bread. Well I have news for you. No one can make perfect bread. Not every time anyway. There are too many variables that affect your bread making and skill is only one of them. So do it as a way to serve your family rather than a contest to make the “perfect” loaf, you will have fun and it will probably turn out pretty good. Our daughters usually start out making bread at about age 7 or 8, so if they can do it you can do it! You don’t have to have lots of expensive equipment, just two hands, some dough ingredients, a couple loaf pans and an oven.

This book is not intended to make you a “perfect” bread maker. It is intended to give you a nudge to get your hands into that wonderful dough. I will share a secret with you. There is something about making bread that seems to make it easy to meditate on the Lord, I nearly always get a new inspiration or understanding from Him while kneading bread. I pray that you experience the same, while spending some time with Him, He is our Bread of Life.This is just one of a series of Creatively Simple “How to” ebooks approx 20 pages with lots of pictures  ebook download

My name is Penny Raine, you can read more about myself and my family at my everyday blog PennyRaine.com . When I was a young girl growing up I loved to cook and was determined that if  I had daughters I would teach them to cook. Well the Lord blessed us with 5 daughters and they can now cook better than I do!  They have a gift for taking a recipe and making it better than it was intended to be. We have several old cookbooks that were handwritten the way the homemakers of yesteryear used to do them. They include not only recipes but scriptures and bits of wit and wisdom. This site is on online version of just that, an old-fashioned cookbook. You will find recipes we have created and some we have improved upon. You will also find scriptures and notes here and there.

I pray that you are blessed here  and that you don’t forget to Bless the Cook!
