It’s Too Easy || Basic Bread Three Ways

Lots of things happening on the farm today - Ben’s back at it on the ram pens he is building for Roots & Refuge. And Meg is in the kitchen showing how she makes her easy basic bread recipe, with three variations.
Yeast we buy: www.azurestandard.com/shop/pr...
Basic Bread recipe

2 Cups warm water
1 Tbs honey
1 Tbs salt

[@klazyy641]

What a cutie hiding in the cabinet! I totally enjoyed watching you make the bread---just like my grandma and my mother made theirs: no measuring, just by guess and by golly! Dinner looked fantastic although I think I could have left out the sweet potatoes and squash and added carrots and celery (although I loathe celery, but it goes well with the onions, carrots, and spuds), but that's just me. The pens looked great and I am totally impressed with the young men who pitch right in to help by either holding a camera, herding the little one, or painting with dad. Nice---just totally nice and very like what 'farm life' used to be---even on the ranch.

[@yellowdeer7163]

My daughter made bread for the first time last week and she is going bread making crazy. Your bread and rolls look delicious! Thank you!

[@ajb.822]

On that note, I just want to mention that I use the King Arthur flour recipe for " easy white sandwich bread " but I make whole grain, usually "sprouted" ( OG ) spelt or wheat flour ( I source locally or from Vitacost online ) , and use coconut sugar in it btw, and it's been a great recipe for me. Basically no-fail. With the whole-grain flours I just use less, but since I never end up measuring and keeping track the whole time, idk exactly how much, I just go by the feel of it and end up leaving it a bit too sticky-seeming, to avoid it seeming to be pulling apart too easily ( the dough ), getting too dense or whatever the term should be for what I mean. I also get yeast and the sugar from Vitacost. I get occasional great discount deal in my email inbox from them, and shipping is always free for an over $50 order. But I do like to support local grocers too, I just don't live near town among other reasons. Anyways, I highly recommend this recipe if anyone wants to try using whole grain and sprouted flours. I haven't tried adding more liquid instead of backing off on flour amount.

The science behind bread making is for the folks who didn't have good Mamas to teach them how to make bread. The end result is the only thing that matters in baking. A big smile or an "Ahhh" or a "Mmmm" is what tells you you done good.

[@kathrynblodgett1969]

Thank you for the bread recipe. Yes, this IS a recipe. It's how I was taught to bake. My Grandma once said she didn't know what the measurements were, she just dumped it in until it looked right. And so... "dump cake" was born. I've read a lot of recipes and this just looks right. Meg, you are a machine!!!👍 You can see why they say women are better at multitasking. Mixing and baking THREE different batches of bread at the same time. While doing dishes, child care, of a Small child no less. Making dinner and filming it all. Then afterwards she does her AND his editing of videos. 👍👍😁😁

[@SandraNelson063]

One of the members of the Newfoundland music group Great Big Sea wrote a book about his life in a family that had to be VERY careful with money. He remembered watching his Mom making bread 2 or 3 times a week, 5 or 6 loaves at a time. Because they had to make the food budget stretch over a big family, the bread was a staple food. Always available at meal times, or to use for a snack. The mom had made it so often that she just didn't waste her time with measuring. She did everything quickly, by eye and feel. And the bread always turned out fine.

[@auntielaura5]

Meg - thanks for reminding us that, despite all the specialty bread recipes and instructions, “standard” bread is pretty easy and doesn’t require precision to be successful. After all, “standard” home-made bread tastes 1000 times better than any artisan loaf you’d buy in a store. With some practice you can tweak the amounts to fit your family’s taste. And experiment! If the loaf isn’t exactly what you want, it’s still going to taste really good, and there’s always next time. 😁

I am so glad I watched this video (though I never miss one, haha). I had no idea you could tweak things a bit. I have always followed the recipe to the T in fear of messing up the dough.

[@heatherd.9390]

@@orchidlife9482 Isn't that the truth!?! I had no idea you could modify it a bit here and there if you need/want to. I've had a recipe that its quite tasty, but I didn't dare vary it! It's so nice to know you can do it and it will still turn out! It's been quite a while since I made bread/rolls/cinnamon buns, but I'm eager to try it again now, knowing that as long as the yeast is good, it should all work out just fine. After all, even your worst homemade bread loaf is still far better than any store-bought loaf!

[@mechanicalgardenthings]

Hey Meg! I make bread several days a week and have my own standard recipe I use for almost anything, I just wanted to let you know, if you guys like softer loaves that hold up for 3+ days then get some Malted Milk Powder or it might be labeled Diastatic Milk or Diastatic Malt powder (all the same thing), it will give you that added freshness length, plus a super stable, soft interior (I add about 1 tbspn for 4.5 cups of flour which makes a 2 lb loaf), for your 5.5-6 cups I'd add 1.5 tbspn. I started using it about two years ago and rarely ever bake bread without it now, it makes so much difference and you can get it in bulk from Azure!

[@amykerns707]

Can you just use powdered milk?

[@mechanicalgardenthings]

@@amykerns707 You can, it won't have the same effect for as long, diastatic malt powder is the best, but malted milk powder is second best and then milk powder, it definitely is noticable even on the very fresh loaf, when I'm out of any of those things, I'm sure there's some science to it, but I just know it works great. I made a double batch of hamburger buns, using my bread recipe, three days ago and they're still soft.

Indeed we have resumed the good habits of the elders who knew much more than we can imagine. Meg and Lisa, I forgot to mention that in this way you need less yeast.

This method requires more space but I advise you to try it too.
