Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I baked bread. By myself. ALL by myself. And I was pretty pleased with my conquest. As I do with everything I cook, I improvised a little (a little too much flour=a little more water, etc.). And I must say, the bread is edible. That is all I must say about it. It looks awful and tastes ok, but at least I did it! Right? Someday I'll be a great bread baker. Meanwhile, if you have an amazing, easy (must be easy) bread recipe that you would like to share with me, please do. Because now I am officially a bread baker!
(not to be confused with a bread maker, that would do it all for me, which I do not have)

Hmmm. Well, maybe wheat bread is harder to make than white bread. I am proud of you though. I'm glad it was edible, but I must say, it's a wrinkly looking bread:) And I say that with all the love in my heart.
Yeah for embarking on bread making! I've been doing it for a little over a year now and let me tell you, it takes some getting used to. My first batch turned out as bricks but I went to a bread making class and it all got better. I have a super easy recipe for you. Try it and see what you think!
Here's for wheat bread:

Good luck!
That is truely an accoomplishment. I haven't tried making wheat bread. I have lots of wheat but I don't have an electric grinder. And I don't think the bread would be worth a day worth of grinding. I would yell at my children if they didn't eat every crumb.
This recipe is for easy white bread and it is delicous. I use 3 tablespoons of oil instead of 3 tablespoons of LARD. But you choose :)

Good Luck!
You're ahead of me girl! I've baked gluten free bread and it looks AND tastes like doorstops so I can't help in this department. :) Good luck on your future career as a baker!
I will be doing a breadmaking class next week for r.s. and will be posting the recipes & how-to on my food blog www.ldsbaker.blogspot.com Don't give up- it just takes the right recipe and lots of patience ;)
Let me know if you want my recipe. I've always thought that it was pretty easy. Love ya!
I attempted to make rolls from scratch once. They were NOT edible. I got a breadmaker for Christmas. I love it. I did survive making cinnamon rolls from scratch though! Good job!
Sorry Mom, but even your bread turned out a brick for me. Good job Carolyn on making edible bread! Even if it did somewhat resemble Sloth (for the goonies fans).
Way to go! I have never attempted to make bread before. You'll have to let us know how your next batch turns out with that easy recipe you find :)
