Baking Bread

I decided to bake some bread for myself. After all, nothing is more old-school than baking your own damn staff of life. I was really in the mood for warm bread with melted butter, but I have to admit that baking bread is not exactly an instant gratification type of activity.

I decided to start with something simple, so I found a basic recipe, gathered the ingredients, and got to work.

The process was pretty simple, and I knew that I was doing things right as the dough rose as it should.

My only regret is that the loaves were a bit on the short size. Maybe they needed to rise more, but the bread tasted good and wasn't too dense. If I try the recipe again I may double it and use 3 bread tins or just try to find 2 smaller tins.

All in all, give bread a try. You'll feel like you got something done.
