My son moved in with me so I made my super easy every day whole wheat bread on Sunday. It's gone already. That made me happy. I did get in two slices for myself.
I like making the sour dough as well as kaiser rolls, my favorite breakfast is the classic BEC - bacon egg and cheese, but they are productions, so this is a very easy bread to make and nearly a no knead so no flouring the counter as everything is in one bowl and a loaf pan for an easy cleanup. While this is a very basic recipe, I took the 80% ratio from Pro Home Cooks on Youtube which makes it very easy for me to remember and make off the top of my head. I think this blows away supermarket enough to sneak it in the artisanal category but nearly as easy as using a bread machine.
