Lots of baking!

I made some home made pita bread. It was okay...The baking style was not really what I wanted to try. I have desperately been wanting a baking stone. I think the bread might come out differently. Its on my wish list. :) 

I have been baking a loaf/round of the No Knead Bread every single day this week. We made grilled cheese sandwiches with it...it was so crispy and golden!! I loved it! Plus, it was really quality bread for pennies. 

Overall, I have been cooking & baking up a storm...Almost every meal has some element that was homemade. Which I love!! 

Drum roll please!

The bread is done. I didn't take photos of my having to turn the bread or what it looked like doubled in size or freshly rolled into the Dutch oven.

But here it is, mid-bake, sort of at the point where it's getting set to brown.

Here it is just out of the oven. 

Here it is cooling on the counter. I give it bonus points for making the house smell SO wonderful!! 

Overall, I will definitely be making this recipe again. It was EASY PEASEY CHICKEN SQUEEZY. The amount of time and effort that it took from start to finish makes this a good recipe for me during the week. It's a homemade bread that says "I care", but without all the extra fuss that goes into making a complicated dish. The best part about the recipe is that it utilizes my Dutch oven. I enjoy the good food that it makes, but I really enjoy all the different foods that I get from it. This recipe has shown me that cooking from my Dutch oven can be really easy. So overall...4 out of 5 stars!! ****

Make a bread, make a little love!

I am constantly expanding my recipe box! Adding to my box this week is homemade bread.

As a working mom, I always have to think about how much time I am investing into any given thing. So I found this recipe off The Kitchn. It's quick and a sort of 'set it and forget it' recipe. I'll try anything once...so here we go! So far, we just made the basic dough, and I have covered it and set it up in a warm dry place to rise for another 6-8 hours. As a working momma...this 6-8 hours to go off and do something else...priceless! I'll be back in several hours to lay it out and bake.
