I made my first ever homemade bread WhooHoo!! I've made alot of things from scratch for awhile now but had yet to attempt a loaf of bread until this week. The extreme cold outside(a whole THREE degrees--'feels like -5'--MERCY!) spurred me into baking/cooking even more, keeping the kitchen warm n fragrant--not to mention the fun we have eating it!! ;)
I used a Parmesan Bread recipe I've had for awhile and it was wonderful!! Made two pretty good sized loaves and the gang here LOVED it!! The crust stays soft, I found that interesting as I didn't expect that for some reason. That's a plus around here--they don't like crunchy crusted bread nearly as much as I(what's wrong with them?!? LOL!)
One loaf was eaten right up as it was *poof*, whilst the other one I sliced and made into garlic bread to have with our pasta mmMMM!
Congrats on your success with your first bread!! There's nothing as good as homemade bread, and the smell is wonderful!! It's really a big accomplishment and you should be proud!!
