If you're poor, make some dough, and then eat it. 😉 You will feel enriched.
Where do you buy your flour? Is brand important? Sam's Club has a 25 lb. bag of flour for $8.48, so that is only 28 to 30 cents for 3 cups. If you buy King Arthur flour at the grocery store, your costs will greatly increase! One of our favorite bread recipes has just a little (1.5 tsp.) sugar and shortening in addition to flour, yeast, salt and water.
Love the recipe, Robyn! I cut it in half and baked it in my small 502 Pyrex pan for 22 minutes. It came out great!! Thanks, Robyn!!
I just tried this. My kitchen is colder than most. I warned it up a bit but still did not get a great rise either time. I ended you putting it in a warm stove for a few minutes and it rose a bit, but it still came out excellent! 🎉
Thank you for what you do
Do you have a bread cook book
I made a bread today using one of your recipes in my bread machine and I definitely had to add more flour! It’s sooooo humid where I am right now!!
My Grandmother made bread similar to that, her was a 5 ingredient bread, and she would feed her yeast, while she did not use granular Sugar, instead she used Honey or sorghum molasses as the sweetener. She called it the Country / Depression/ War time bread. She was from the Hill of North central TN (Macon Country) is where she grew up , it all depended upon the time of the year when she would Use Sorghum Molasses or Honey. The best bread came from the bread made from the Wild Honey. As for the Sorghum molasses when she used it was just enough to feed her yeast .
She would raise her own yeast and dry it to make her bread, something she learned how to do as a child in the early 1900 in the hills of Tennessee. Here bread was very cheap and and very tasty with fresh churned butter.
Sounds like another great bread idea, Robyn . Keep them coming. I love your simple recipes. I'm a big fan of your channel ❤
Can I make this with 100% whole wheat flour too ?
Just got a bread maker, your channel has been a gold mine! Thanks so much!
Does the melted butter that you brushed on the top of the bread leak into the tea towel that you cover the loaf with? Would most of the melted butter stay in the towel and then create more of a laundry issue? Other than that question I love the inexpensive cost of the bread. I will try it without the sugar that I usually use and appreciate your comment that the loaf will need to be baked at a bit higher temp in order to brown. Thanks for the clear instructions.
😊 hi kiddo, I’m gonna make that loaf of bread tomorrow but I’m gonna bake mine in the grill that may just become my new camp bread. Thanks for the recipe. Have a beautiful evening.😊
🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
?When I go to printable to print, it is blank? Any suggestions?
Sorry. I can't use yeast. I'm allergic to it.
Thank you Robyn I love your Show I have 2 questions 1 where can you get flour in that amount from and also where do you get your buckets thank you Dear
Love it Robyn. Good information to know if you’re on really hard times. Thank you! 💛🌻🇺🇸
Since I’ve been baking my own bread I do not have allergies problems with food (bread) I thought it was gluten but no it’s the additives to the bread to keep it shelf stable for weeks. Hubby and I just had a burger from a dinner and I’ve sneezed a dozen times since I ate and the bloating is awful. I no longer eat out unless very necessary. These manufacturers are killing us and that’s why I eat at home. I have to carry an epi pen when I eat out
Can I do the first rise in my bread machine? I dont own a mixer. And then the second rise in a loaf pan.
No sugar to feed the yeast?
Wow! Thank you for another recipe, Robyn! 🫶🏼🤍 I haven’t bought bread in a long time now, since I usually make everything at home. Well except when I go out and sometimes stop by the fast food for take out!
16:07 – omg the animals are so cute!! Ahhh 😍🥹🫶🏼
Can we use the same ingredients for the bread machine? What size and menu setting are recommended? Thanks, Robyn!❤
