Ms Rose!! My Mom said, you’ve created a monster!! Seriously within past six weeks, I’ve gone through at least 10 bags of flour. Started with biscuits, was hell bent on making cinnamon rolls (mine ended up being weapons of mass destruction) only to decide if I could make a good bread first, I could make a cinnamon roll next!! Recently had a huge loss in my life and baking has now started to fill the “hole in my soul!” Thank you for helping us.

[@KitchenFairy61]

I've used King Arthur flour for over 30 years. Being in New England, it's our "local" brand of flour :). I don't dissolve active dry yeast in water before using it. I always add the yeast to my flour, they I add the liquid. I haven't had a bread failure in a very long time. I buy my yeast in my local big box warehouse store. I keep a jar in the refrigerator for use. I store the rest of the yeast in a jar in my non defrosting freezer. I've never had problems with old yeast. I guess that I've been lucky, or I use it up before it goes bad. One of my favorite ways to make bread is using the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a day method. With this method, you make a very wet dough in a bucket that you keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You simply take out a grapefruit sized hunk and let is sit out for up to 90 minutes before baking on a pizza stone. This makes fantastic bread.

Pam, I loved this video, took notes and even though I have been baking bread for years, you taught me several new things. The big tip was the water temperature. I always was in the 110-115 degree range, but now I know to lower the temperature, why, what for and how to check your wrist. The caterpillar was a neat little trick, and I felt I saw the result of you doing that in the video. Thirdly, the ease in which you combined your ingredients in one bowl with a wooden spoon, makes this bread a true bread for when the stuff hits the fan, or we have an event of some kind. Thank you for showing us your bread baking. I loved the video. Tell your husband he’s right. A fresh marshmallow is a great comparison to the feel of the dough!

The use of an instant thermometer was a game changer for my bread making, I consider them an excellent investment for under $20. Of course if finances are tight we can learn how to judge done-ness other ways. I also use King Arthur, and recently discovered a brand made in Montana. I like the idea of supporting smaller mills.

I love making bread of all kinds: loaves, dinner rolls, tortillas, etc. Depending on what bread I want as my end result, I use active dry yeast (which I "proof"), instant or quick yeast or sourdough starter (which I've made myself as the leavening. Making bread is so much fun, when my children were at home I made bread at least once a day which included quick breads such as biscuits, cornbread or tortillas. I'm so happy to see so many people are now interested in making breads.

[@bethanyprather1538]

Thank you so much for your video. my father taught me how to make bread when I was 12 yrs old. When I was 14 He bought a restaurant. and at that age on, I made 27 loaves every other day by hand in one huge pan without a mixer. A lot of work for a young girl who never stopped working, cooking, washing dishes and also waiting on customers. I'd like to know why you don't use milk in your bread. Wouldn't it taste better. Back then we had to scald milk. I know you don't have to do that today. I am 78 yrs old now and still baking bread.

As long as the mess is cleaned up before she gets home, I'm golden.

[@garywinslow9480]

Key thing, use 2 of the same colored type pans when cooking bread! Love that ❤👍👍 I also found out that if you mix the dough in a metal bowl It can cause the dough to not rise as much. And it's best to avoid any metal utensil or bowls when making them. Something about the metal interacting with the yeast and ingredients not letting it rise well. When I 1st found that out I was surprised and even tested it out and it's true, it does not rise as high as using glass or a plastic bowl. I like using glass bowls. Because wood ones can absorb The moisture from the dough and it holds more bacteria in the wood overtime. Kind of like the one shot wonder saying, don't chop your veggies where you chopped your raw meat. Because of cross contamination of bacteria or possible boutilism. Then there is Sadly the plastic bowls.... don't want chemicals leaching or infertility issues in people. That leaves me with glass lol and I found out too much salt can cause lower rising because it kills off the yeast. Finding just the right amount works like a charm. I also found out that if I have any fruits or veggies in a grocery bag they start rotting quicker. Even if its open. There is Is some form of bad bacteria in plastic grocery bags. Please be careful. You can use a warm watered lightly damp flour cloth or cheese cloth or even damp paper towels to help it rise quicker. I avoid plastic as often as I can. And I know some people use it for rising doughs.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I am honored to take on that role for you! Thank you for your comment.

[@fishinghole333]

What a great lesson! Think I'll give breadmaking a go again. Thank you!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are welcome. Let us know how you breadmaking venture goes.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

I used to make my own bread when my kids were young. On my late work day (8a) I get up, make my bread-leave for work @7:30. Fast forward. I’m 67 now. I tried to do what I used to do. Epic fail. Now. I found you. I thank you so much. You reminded me and gave me the recipe, I used to use. Yay!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Love that! So glad the video was helpful.

[@zahney1225]

What amazing instructions ( as always) but this went above and beyond.. applause and cant wait for the 2nd part

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@tinpony9424]

Almost 68 y/o, never baked bread and don't remember ever eating home baked bread. Using your recipe, methods and suggestions, I made two loaves last night. The pans slid into a couple plastic bread bags I had, for the second proof. I was surprised how well it all went, and have to say the hardest part was the cleanup. Thanks for this, Pam and Jim. I'll be thinking of you two every time I bake bread, now.

[@wreathscraftsbylena]

Certainly enjoyed watching and all the knowledge you shared! I love making bread and will certainly try your recipe! TFS

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Please do! Thank you so much for watching.

[@lisaansari4165]

I have made several fails on the bread, but also lots success as well. My daughter told me yesterday she would be needing my bread on a regular basis lol. Thank you so very much for teaching me. Greatfull for you.

[@CC-mf3wh]

This is great! You really teach about everything. I am so glad I found your videos!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

We are glad you found us as well!

[@leeverrill]

I agree 100%

[@lorid9433]

“Disruption has become the new norm” so much wisdom in this video. Thanks for the video!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Absolutely! Jim

[@laurarochester3054]

Thank you so much for all your hard work on doing this video. I really appreciate it. I’ve only made a few times and they’ve been ok but I know I can do better and you gave some great tips that I can use. Have a great week!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@rebekahspahn2638]

Isn't she the best teacher? Oh. My. Word... I have watched and tried many, many videos--leaving me like a deer staring into headlights. NO MORE! I am sticking with Pam!❤❤❤

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you for finding our channel and watching our videos. Jim

[@TheGeoDaddy]

Even though I am on a low-carb diet… “bread” is is high in NON-STARVATION! Now I just need to try this on my Firebox stove!

[@Shelleyshelleyxyz]

Thank you so much for sharing. Learned a lot from you today.

[@Herschel1738]

A tip on buying a loaf pan: avoid the ones that are "folded" at the ends (like the shiny silver pan) if you are going to use them for meatloaf, too. The juices & fat seep through the folds and are nasty to wash up thoroughly. Modern pans tend to be made by stamping a sheet into the loaf shape & have no folds in the pan. They are much easier to clean.

[@catherinesommer8197]

I have tried for years to make good bread. Finally, after following your instructions, I had success!

[@terrim9323]

You're a very good teacher, and I hope to make bread soon using your recipe. I'm wondering how to store the loaf if it can't be eaten in the next few days.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Fresh bread without any preservatives like these loaves will last about 4 days out on the counter before the mold gets them here where we live. We store the one we currently use in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. We put the other one in a plastic bag in the freezer where it will keep for weeks until we are ready to use it. Great question! Thanks.

[@iluminameluna]

I have found that adding 2 or 3 tbsp of oil, any oil, will not change the substance of the bread but will keep it from growing mold, and taste fresh for much longer. Up to a week. And bread will keep better frozen than in the fridge. It'll then thaw directly on the counter within 12 hours, as long as it's been put in a plastic bag after cooling completely.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Freezer, honey.

[@kathleenvandesompele2992]

Thank you so much you freed me from tedious rituals of making bread. I thank God that He led me to your channel

[@amandakestenbaum9720]

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something. It is good to know the why’s behind the outcome it makes us better bakers. Are you going to do a sour dough video?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I have done a series of videos on artisan bread that includes sourdough or levain. You can view those by selecting the Artisan Bread playlist on our channel. At some point I will do a video in this series on a more traditional sourdough bread. Thanks for your question and for watching!

[@Ccmc2468]

I have been watching you for about 2 years now and I can’t thank you enough for sharing great recipes and your knowledge of so many things I have learned so much. 🤗😋❤

[@DarkBadger999]

The best bread Ive ever made was baked in my cast iron dutch oven.

[@annamariesloss1220]

Pam...you are an absolute Treasure. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@Wugawamp]

This channel is amazing! Thank you so much. I am just a guy who is interested in learning some things to help sustain my family in good times and bad. Don't be hard on yourself trying to make things perfect. The things you do are wonderful and really educational. You, dear lady, are exactly what this country needs to make it better, one imperfect, delicious loaf at a time. Thanks so much for your time and efforts.

[@lynntaylor4050]

I sure appreciate this video. I’m currently baking bread! Thank you ❤

[@rexanderson4588]

I am not sure if you ever were a teacher at schools but you are a natural! Thank you so much!

[@debtasker9892]

I have tried this and love the outcome. Today I made one loaf, some rolls and pepperoni rolls. Absolutely delicious.

[@susannaschnell4147]

Plus her husband, Jim does perfect steady footage of his beloved. We so appreciate you.

[@rickpietrolungo99]

Just saw this video for the first time, I learned so much on how to handle and prepare the dough for baking. Thank you, thank you, thank you !

[@Middlemen101]

I was thinking of baking my own bread so I started watching videos about bread baking. I would say that this is the best Bread Baking Video I have watched. Well explained. I learned a lot. That's the good all days. you don't see much people like Rose anymore. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You are very welcome. So glad it was useful for you!

[@philliplamberth4075]

You make it look so easy and yummy. Thank you for your serving helping so many.

[@sandisherck4636]

Experience is the best teacher! The more unstable our food supplies, the more we need this recipe.

[@laurierich5161]

You are such a good teacher. I would love to have you next door. I am 72 an still learning so much from you!
