That’s the Yeast of it!

I’m really enjoying having this Giveaway that you can still enter. 

It’s been great to hear from my blog friends and to meet some new ones

There have been some new bloggers that I hope to share with you in the future

I found a great easy bread recipe in

Lisa’s blog from La Dolce Villa

She called the post the Fear of Yeast!

I found that amusing because I find too that people DO fear making bread with yeast

and you don’t need to.

(get it?…… knead too…haha)

I know that was bad.

We have made so many different kinds of breads and followed a ton of recipes but most of them

have been super simple and fast.

This one is much like one we have made before except that it allows you

to keep the dough in the fridge for 2 weeks.

We love bread so it won’t be in the fridge for 2 weeks

I hadn’t taken these photos thinking I was going to show them here just wanted to remember my first bread of 2012.

I would have styled it better :-)

We baked them on my parents old pizza pan.

A pizza restaurant was the first business they owned after we moved from France.

Did they know the pizza business or even speak much English?

No but that didn’t matter.

They worked hard and

like my father used to like to say

The only words I need to know is Pizza, Grinder and Money.

My dad was a tough Frenchmen.

Well, they never made a lot of money but we got by.

I covered this bread with sesame seeds.

Love them!!!

This was the kind we used to make ….

big huh? I think this one was the no-knead bread that we saw on Martha Stewart.

I like everything about making bread.

The simplicity, the easy access of ingredients, the fact that people have been eating

it for centuries.

It’s a staple in every household.

The best part is I know what’s in it…..

and no preservatives.

Just yeast, water, flour and salt.

Ok sometimes I get fancy and add….

Olive Oil.

Yum

So are you going to try it?

Now don’t forget go
