Home Economics & Bread!

[@JackJack-wy5yk]

Everyone else in the world - baking is very precise you must measure everything. Mrs. Volfie - throws it together without measuring and it turns out beautiful! Thank you for the great content! I really enjoy your home economics videos.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Someone asked me to give the measurements..I said go look at my basic bread for beginners video...lol

[@JackJack-wy5yk]

OurHalfAcreHomestead I hope to get to that point someday. I guess if I make enough bread I will just know when I have enough flour.

[@BrendaC-cf7td]

Hi, when you do it many times. You kinda get a feel for it. No measuring .love the chipmunk voice. Not easy hard on the shoulders.

[@JackJack-wy5yk]

Brenda Cowell thank you. I'm working on it. Nothing beats homemade bread.

[@melindabanning7707]

I gotta admit I use my Bosh mixer to mix my bread.

[@p.l.larose3851]

I LOVED your sweet, tiny voice. "Dumped it on my foot . . and it's cold". Too cute. Wonderful bread !!!

[@loves2spin2]

I love how you are teaching these home economics lessons!

[@karen4you]

When you have a stocked pantry, you never do without. That looked very tasty!

[@epayne]

I followed your bread recipe yesterday for just one loaf and I've never seen bread get eaten that quickly in my house haha I'd say my husband likes it

[@YT4Me57]

You make bread like my grandmother, you just "eye" ingredient amounts. Bread seems forgiving when it comes to that. Watching you knead brings up good memories.

[@russsherwood5978]

my mom an gran ma made bread like this,, all us boys learnd how to cook and bake from mom and grand ma

[@theclawsoncrew13]

This brought tears to my eyes. You did it exactly how my Nonna made her bread. Guessing measurements but it came out perfect Everytime. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family! I've been watching y'all for years and don't forget you have a place in Georgia for when you and Papa take a Motorcoach trip.

[@ts7844]

I loved when the chipmunks started giving out the instructions 😂

[@lostinks]

I can just smell the yumminess. Is there anything that smells better than fresh bread?!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Not anything I can think of!

[@aliwehr]

Wonderful video Bev! Thanks for doing this Home Ec vid and I hope the younger women see it and appreciate it!

[@melindabanning7707]

Looks good. I have to admit i was like she isn’t even measuring how is this bread going to turn out?! I take a stick of butter and rub it on the tops of my loaves when they come out of the oven to keep them soft.

[@MaureenKo1]

Just BEAUTIFUL bread, Bev. I do quite a lot of artisan bread baking myself, inspired by you many years ago. I took it on thinking what a chore but you made it look so easy. And yes, it's very economical buying flour and yeast in bulk from Costco. Letting the family go at it, is worth the "work." If there are any left overs, I freeze them until I have a bunch and make homemade croutons for salads. I don't know which my family enjoys more, the fresh out of the oven or the crunchy buttery/garlicky croutons in their salads! I don't have to bake artisan bread Bev but I do so because of you. Not even kidding!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

God bless you sweetie!

[@jemmiestone3496]

Awesome video. Beautiful Bread. I hope Y'all had a great Thanksgiving. God Bless Y'all.

[@jeanniewright2554]

GREAT tutorial!!! Thanks for showing how simple bread making can be!!

[@theorganizedcountrygirl4002]

FLOURED FOOT!!!! Made me chuckle. Lol. Pretty bread. This is becoming one of my fav channels. Thank you.

[@jennjeffs4893]

BEV IS LIKE WONDER WOMAN, Cuz I'm always wondering what amazing things she will do next!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Bless you sweety

[@EnergizeVitalize]

Happy Thanksgiving! Smart economics by keeping it simple and being prepared... at the ready is how my mom did it too... Inspired! Thank you 🙏💜☮️

[@virginiareid5336]

Thank you for revisiting your bread. It rose so beautifully , and baked up so beautifully.

[@susieq2544]

You are amazing! I just discovered you tonight. I don’t do it often, but I love making bread. God Bless you! Julia

[@reginawhite1235]

I loved your chipmunk voice. Great video. I have learned so much by watching your videos. THANK YOU from Fairmont, West Virginia

[@Called2Sing]

Oh I'm in love with your mini loaf pans! Thanks for the home ec lesson! Love from South Mississippi!

[@debbiealtman4572]

Looks yummy.

[@tammyhanson7843]

I think it’s wonderful that Chip and Dale came to narrate 🦋💜

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

lol

[@ladyb003]

That was a lot of kneading.... but oh so worth it. They look beautiful and delicious. YUMMY. Thanks for sharing. Love u

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I know sweet sister! My wrists are still sore LOL

[@mariadebroeck8154]

That looks so good, my son ( he's 6) asked me to show him how I make my bread today. Total squeal

[@emmadalrymple4102]

Another fine example of home economics...using what you have on hand, excellent guesstimating, and...homemade is just better all around!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Yup! Thank you!

[@mollysmith6055]

Beautiful bread for your Thanksgiving Harvest Feast! Now I want to make bread to get to fill the house with that delectable aroma. I hope your weekend is joyous!

[@time-out-tuti-fruti5142]

Love the cute voice of fast speed! I’ve also had a long road of trial and error with bread making. Right now my oven is broken again but I’ve learned you can make a soft load which is quite nice in the crock pot when necessary. Watching your videos like being with a familiar friend. I’ve watched so many now! The kids enjoy them to we call them homeschool home economics ;) it’s a lot of what I already do but lots to learn still with little tips you do a bit a bit differently. I haven’t tried canning meat as yet just fruits. I don’t know any one who cams meat so your videos make it seem “doable”. I do have the PC ... getting braver! X from Oz

[@dianehill9353]

Love these videos and I must say I love that table cloth....I have a few old ones myself...Bread looked so good I could almost smell it!

[@clairehendrickson9335]

I love the way you make bread! I'm inspired!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you!

[@tobeyfamilyhomestead1240]

Oh Bev I’ve never related more to a video! You can often find me in the kitchen after everyone has gone to bed making bread or baking something that I forgot I needed. Thank you for keeping it real with us!!

[@patschomann7338]

Wonderful bread! It looks so good. What a great cook you are Bev. I have to measure everything out or I'm not sure how it will come out! Thanks for another great video.

[@MrVjay70]

Nothing like the smell of bread baking!!!❤💜🧡💙💚

[@saragriffith5938]

My goodness what good looking bread That's the best kind of bread way better than store bought!

[@marilynb8136]

So cool watching you make bread!!! I think I might be able to do it!!!

[@vidareich80]

I don't watch much youtube anymore but your channel I still watch. My mother always made bread but I didn't make it. Many years ago we also didn't have money to buy even bread. My sister and her 3 children were living with us. I called my mother and asked for bread recipe, which she gave. My father called and said he was sending my mother over to show me how. I really learned then. I got back to bread making about 10 years ago and love doing it.

[@darlajackson2767]

As soon as it gets cooler here in Georgia I’ll be doing the same thing. I love making bread.

[@reneyc723]

Love home made bread. Lovely fragrance in the home. I just wanted to let you know that every day this week that you put out a video I have to resubscribe. I hope you do not lose subscribers like this. Happy Holiday this weekend. We are all grateful for you and your wisdom.

[@kathykrause8336]

Many many years ago when I was first married. My husband was in between jobs (which means no pay check). Because my momma taught all us girls how to cook, bake, cann and preserve EVERYTHING I had to rely on myself to make things as we didn't have money to go to the grocery store and was to proud to as for help of any kind. My husband and I actually ate as well or better from my homemade things. I had a sense of pride each and every time I put my food on the table. Thank you momma for teaching me to roll up my sleeves and get my hands in that dough.

[@debbiecrouch709]

I love your cooking videos! My Gma never measured she just knew by looking her bread was so wonderful!

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It's all in how it FEELS under your hands

[@lochness3224]

Happy ThanksGiving Bev & Howie .... hope you have a great time .... ain't nothing like homemade bread

[@kayofthecountrywifeskitche9494]

I love your bread! It looks absolutely beautiful! I make loaves of onion and garlic bread for my brother's for Christmas. I use a cornbread dressing for our "stuffing" lol never had it made out of bread before.

[@shellyrees5946]

I haven't bought a loaf of bread all year. I make it every weekend. Just made a loaf while watching this!

[@lemoncrinckles]

In no special order, some of the world's most wonderful kitchen aromas: freshly baked bread, a roasting turkey, and pizza! Mrs. Volfie, do you make cinnamon-raisin bread? Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!! (:

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Yes darling I do and thank you for suggesting it it'll probably be sometime in November December

[@lemoncrinckles]

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead Thank you. (:

[@theuniquebean]

This reminds me soooo much of my Granny. She would cook like this and tell me to pay attention. Lol I miss her so much. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@AussieAngeS]

You look beautiful Bev ❤️ what a great bread recipe, thank you

[@clmierau]

These home economics videos are good, glad that you are making them. Happy Thanksgiving too!!

[@brigittefregault6411]

They look perfect👌A lot of work you did, but so rewarding!I make my own bread too, so much better than store bought! Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canadian 🍽 🦃🍁 :)

[@mdoe37]

All that bread for a couple bucks!! Just flour, water, yeast and elbow grease!! I'm not gutsy like you to eyeball the measurements though lol. Great video Bev. Somewhere out there, there is a gal whose struggling with bills and the grocery budget. You taking the time to make this video is a gift to that gal. Just think how many budgets got stretched,

[@margaretjablonski5638]

Looks fabulous..you have inspired me to do some baking today!! Apple pies and dinner rolls sound good right now.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I just put a gluten free Pear Crisp and a Pumpkin Pie with and oatmeal crust..then I make the other pies!

[@jvetter9263]

My grandma told me her mother used to say the bread was kissing when they touched like that. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving and Harvest meal gathering to you.

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

Well, you certainly made that look easy, they turned out a treat! Well done Mrs V 😘

[@patriciagoulette1406]

Your amazing. Make everything look easy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. God Bless

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

God Bless you too honey! Thank you!

[@MissScrapAlot]

Homemade bread is the only way to go !

[@pearlyb51]

I love your videos. Thanks for showing us how you make bread.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

It is my pleasure!

[@melissagilliam4551]

Beautiful bread made my mouth water

[@qualqui]

Happy Thanksgiving Mrs. V and Poppa!!! Times like these wish KZbin had some smell-o-vision software, to enjoy that fresh-baked aroma of Homemade Bread! :)

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

Happy Thanksgiving. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too

[@dinachiello4881]

My grandma always made homemade bread this video brought back wonderful memories thank you BEV

[@angelasheppard7197]

Awesome looking bread

The chipmunk voice is a great touch lol. Another good one 👍🏼

[@Witchyone131]

Omg! Those are absolutely gorgeous ❤️

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Yes they are! and having some tonight with lasagna!

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

I just closed my bakery last year, and I can attest that the best baker's have the worst flops in the beginning! You learn what NOT to do and that's really the secret ❤

[@HarborHon1]

How was probably salivating when the bread came out of the oven. Girly, you make me want to sink my teeth into that. Love you!!

[@melodytenisch6232]

Thanks Bev! Really good video; I've rarely baked bread as years ago I messed it up and didn't make anymore, but seeing your handiwork I'm going to try it again. My mom was a pro like you and made THEE best bread! Very inspiring! Have a great harvest supper with your loved ones. God bless and big hugs from a grandma in WA state.👵🙏💖😊🎃 P.S. When Alvin took over it was hilarious! Lolol!😂

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

Plus the house smells great 👍😋

[@debrakanngiesser971]

I really love the chipmunk voice.🤣👍

[@toothaching]

Thank you! And happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. ^_^

[@dianegibson5765]

loved this video and I am so going to do it they look great

[@letaterrell8138]

Loved , loved , loved watching you make bread ! This was the first time to see you and it won't be my last !

[@designsbydawn976]

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving. I loved watching you make this beautiful bread. Inspired me to make some. Tfs and God Bless 💕 I cant find your video on basic bread for Beginners 😥

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Here you go honey! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmineaB6qrp-grs

[@MagdaAlexander1]

Those are some beautiful loaves of bread!

[@beepingwithbeppe6376]

My god woman....I love you....so glad that I have found your channel. I love the way you didn't measure a thing, for your bread, and yet they turned out stunning. How did they taste with the potato flakes in them? Quite curious to know. I have been binge watching your videos and have learned lots from you. Thank you again for another wonderful video. From a fellow Canadian.

[@lilbitatatime3763]

I bet the house smells amazing! Got a good chuckle out of the chipmunk voice.

[@kristytramell8552]

Mrs Volfie, Love your videos! What type of fabric is it that that you used to roll your bread out on?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

just an old Cotton tablecloth

[@millermdiehl]

What kind of bread cloth do you use?

[@1vtmom966]

I LOVE that you use your hands!

[@JenninKanata]

Love how you cook I cook without measuring too. I'm making bread tonight/ tomorrow so I can make brie pull apart bread for coffee break.

[@justme2059]

I was always taught when they come out of the oven to take some butter, lard or crisco and rub the tops of the bread/buns to keep them soft. I’m definitely going to have to try to just cover them.

[@lisa-le2ou]

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Hope that you have loved ones huddled around you showing you love all weekend.

[@adeleanderson3862]

I love how you make bread!

[@wandawilliams3110]

Excellent!!!

[@IsaacNewton1966]

There's something so beautiful about fresh baked bread!

[@michelleproctor4648]

You are a national treasure😘 i’ve been watching you since the beginning was sick for a couple years went through that terrible chemo and radiation junk but I’m back on the mend I would love it if you would do a series on your pets & farm animals I am back to raising my hog broilers and turkeys and of course my egg layers I have a boxer two and you had mention something about her being allergic to corn ? You just have a wealth of awesome information always much love and blessings✨🙏🏻✨❤️✨😘☯️

[@suedonald5285]

They look beautiful

[@wompol7117]

I made a big batch of lunch lady rolls yesterday. Sent some with kids and put some in fridge. Yum

[@SuperRhondasue]

Lol.... on the chipmunk voice. So much fun. Good job!!

[@ShalimarPerfume]

It's a good thing I got a hubby who used to be a baker. LOL. Remember years back, when I made a vid of baking one loaf of sour cream bread on my own. Turned out perfect and hubby was so impressed. I never had to knead/bake my own bread because he would either bring it home from work or make big batch at home and turn the dough into various things. When he bakes at home I always help him anyway. But no way can I do a big batch myself, I just don't have the hands for it.

[@carmenhorton8066]

ALVIN! SIMON! BEVERLY!!! Seriously though, you just wing it with a handful of this, and a dash of that and bake beautiful bread!

[@Jomama02]

Kneady Homesteader has a wonderful recipe for stuffing bread! I can't wait to try it come fall. Bread is something that scares me. I'm not a Baker at all but you make it look so easy and you don't even measure, you approximate! I do that with cooking, but baking to? You do have a talent in the kitchen Bev!!!

[@rebeccabrear4456]

Beautiful bread Bev! 🍞Happy Harvest Day to you and your family ..

[@pattifoote1714]

Wow, that is something😊🤗😘😋

[@mainetreelineruguess97]

My best friend (who is only the best 'by the seat of the pants measurement') cook, measures like you do. Everything she makes is top shelf, simple food, but some seriously 'face-down-in-the-trough' good eats. As for me, the bread I make tends to be half white/half freshly ground whole wheat base, and then I add in hemp hearts (protein), chia (more protein), about 1/3 c. whole celery seeds (flavor!!), and about 2 TBS. whole or ground flax seed (careful with this unless you're constipated and planning on staying home). If you're in for a more herbed/savory bread, add rosemary and oregano. When cooler weather permits, I send a loaf of this with my niece who works in health care. She and her crew might be just a wee bit spoiled. YOUR bread looks delicious!!!!!! Did our invitation get lost in the mail? ;)

[@janwhite5642]

Just beautiful. Can almost taste it..

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

SO GOOD!

[@tikacalifornia7876]

I think we may have been taught by the same ancestor in some prior life. This is exactly how I do things and I laugh at my room-mate who measures everything down to the last gram. It's amazing to me how many people ask me how I can do so well on so little, and it comes down to just what you showed in your money recap. You produced an amazingly superior product for a fraction of the price and the key ingredient? Love. BTW, I have been using powdered milk and potato flakes as dough conditioners for decades and it works beautifully. Something to consider next time, if you are using frozen flour - nuke it for a bit in the microwave before proceeding with the other ingredients. It makes kneading a bit more comfortable. You had an amazing successful product without doing that. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@anitakelly5593]

Great looking bread! Your chipmunk voice gave me a chuckle...lol

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Well I wanted to speed it up but still let you hear what I was saying..lol

[@katherinehughes6659]

Hi, any chance that I could have your bread recipe. Husband would love whole meal added to dough . Many thanks

[@dakotaplainsmb7758]

Wish I can get some good homemade bread. My granny up in waterhen used to make it. What a delicious thing with real butter and egg noodle chicken soup 😍😍😍
