Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie - The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition
The 70th recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie group is The Daily Bread: White Bread Edition and can be found in the Baking with Dorie cookbook on page 11.
Ingredients: butter, flour, powdered milk, sugar, salt, yeast, egg, and milk.
Homemade bread, I would say, is one of my favorites to make. Through the years I’ve made countless loaves and I always enjoy baking all kinds of bread, it is relaxing and soothing, and especially rewarding when everyone happily devours it, sometimes straight out of the oven as was the case when the boys were home growing up…homemade bread never lasted long.
This is a nice recipe, it comes together easily, and bakes well. It baked for a bit more (actually 20 minutes more in my oven) than the time specified, all ovens bake differently. The taste is rich (butter, milk, egg, sugar) and it tasted delicious. It is good toasted or not. While it stacks up well with my tried and true white bread recipes over the years, it’s a bit rich for the everyday toast or sandwich type bread that we prefer. That said, it does perform well in taste and texture. It was nice having a bread week and we enjoyed the results.
If you would like to join in, just make it, bake it, and leave a link to your post at the Tuesdays with Dorie website: tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com. At the website you will find the postings for the current recipe, the list of recipes chosen each month, and some baking chit chat that is definitely helpful as well as fun. We don’t publish Dorie's recipes here, but you can buy the book and have them ALL at your fingertips.
Bread looks perfect. I will make it for Bill later this week. Hopefully. It’s a good recipe.
ReplyDeleteBread looks lop-sided but it tasted lovely. You will do better than me...Bill needs bread!!
DeleteOk, I had to turn off a setting in MY browser to allow commenting on your site (tracking) but here I am! Your bread is beautiful - lovely light crumb!
ReplyDeleteMardi, I am so sorry that you are having issues, I feel really bad about that as you have plenty of other things to do. I am going to have Matt take a look at Wordpress when I see him at Thanksgiving and see if he can figure out how to get me set up there as it seems that you all have more success with that format. Thank you for your kind words about my bread...a bit lopsided but it did taste really good. Yours was so beautiful.
DeleteLook great…and always so nice to have fresh baked bread around!
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much...yes, nice to have it around and it does not last long!
DeleteKate, it's ok, you have got yourself set up here so let ME deal with my tracker blocker LOL! I just wanted you to know I really was trying to comment :) I'm here now!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to keep trying, Mardi...thank you so much.
DeleteI agree it was nice to have a bread week. We loved this loaf of bread and you are right that it is a little rich but a nice treat.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to try all the different recipes with you.
Deleteyes, homemade bread is hard to resist! takes all my willpower to not cut into it hot :)
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have the willpower, none of the guys in my life seem to have any when it comes to waiting for bread to cool. :-)
DeleteYour bread looks great Kayte. I am normally too impatient to make bread, but I enjoyed this loaf.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good loaf and one I would make again. When it comes to bread, I have all the patience in the world for some reason...I love the slow building process of it. Yours looked really good.
DeleteYour bread looks just fine -- it has character! And, it doesn't affect the taste!
ReplyDeleteI like that it has character! Thank you.
