How Did The Bread Turn Out?
The bread turn out ok, but I will need to work on this skill. I want my bread to be a little sweeter and softer. Maybe, I could add a little more honey and knead the bread a little more. In the mean time, I will check out some other bread recipes I have.
Lesson learned about making bread is that you really have to follow directions step by step!
Easy Homemade Whole Wheat Bread
I attended a "Cooking For Life" class given by a good friend of mine were I learned how to make this wonderful bread. The bread baking in the oven smells so good! This bread will go nicely with the Sunday family breakfast!
I hope you will also enjoy making your own bread.
