30 Before 30: Making My Own Bread

I just hit 27 and I’m not making much progress on my 30 before 30 list. As of today, I have two completed and one in the works (we’re headed to Ireland next month!).

Today, I decided that I was not going to go to the store to buy bread for dinner. I was going to make it.

Someone ate a piece of one... I plead the fifth.

Um, amazing. Not quite as pretty as store bought, but hey, it was my first time and it tastes better than store bought!

(Yes, I know my pizza stone has seen better days. We make pizza a lot. Don’t judge me.)

It was so easy that I flipped through my bread book and found an equally cinchy recipe for whole wheat sandwich bread – aka Chris’s bread of choice. So, time to cross another goal off the 30 before 30 list: start making my own bread!

In case you’re wondering, this is the bread book:

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day

I highly recommend it. Especially if you love bread as much as I do. Pretty much any bread you could want is in this book, and most of the recipes are based off one standard dough recipe that’s given at the beginning of the book. It’s awesome.

  4. Looks delicious! I’m so jealous that you’re going to Ireland – hope to read all about it when you get back!

  5. i miss delicious bread :(

  6. Wow – 30 before 30? I did 10 before 30. I’m not that ambitious, apparently!

    I used to bake my own bread all the time….with a breadmaker. Your bread looks delish, great job :)

  7. Yay! I’m glad you’re getting things crossed off your list. Your bread looks scrumptious!

  8. That book looks amazing… yeah making bread is awesome! I seriously want a bread maker once we get to Greece… but even without one… mmmm!

    • The only thing I don’t like about my breadmaker is that it makes bread in a really weird shape… much too tall for sandwiches!

  9. I love me some homemade bread! Also I am quite jealous that you are going to Ireland! I would love to go to the land on my ancestors!
