Homemade Bread

I will confess I am not a baker, so if I can make this bread, it must be easy. Try it with some homemade blueberry or tomato jam.

My recipe for Homemade Bread is as follows:

Homemade Bread

In a mixing bowl combine, 1/2 c. warm water with 1 pkg of yeast (combine together and allow to sit a few minutes remaining ingredients), add 1/2 c. warm milk, 2 eggs, 1 t. salt, 2/3 c. softened butter, 1 t. honey and 3 c. flour. Mix until well blended. Place dough in greased glass mixing bowl and cover with saran wrap, allow to rise for 30 minutes. Place dough on floured surface and knead about 20 times until smooth. Place back into clean greased glass bowl, cover and allow to rise for 40 minutes or until doubled in size. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown. While cooling brush bread with butter. Serve with your favorite toppings, herb butter, homemade jam, herbed olive oil or nutella.

I wish you could smell how delicious this bread smells. If you prefer you can bake it in a loaf pan.

Options: 

Add 1/2 c. fresh herbs to dough mix before baking

Add 1/2 c. peanut butter

Add 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 c. fresh herbs

Add 1/2 c. raisins (soak in water or rum to hydrate) and 2 t. cinnamon

Enjoy and have fun trying this recipe.
