A to Z Baking Breads for Total Beginners

Hot, Juicy, Bread( with butter maybe ), You Can do it Too!

Bread!
We have friends over and want to commune with them; we break bread.
The simple act of showing friendship and fellowship. If we are short
on money, we need to make some dough. The simple start to the bread
making process is synonymous with making our way in the world. If we
find something amazing, it is the best thing since sliced bread.
Sliced bread must have been pretty amazing. Was there anything good
before it? No one will ever know. If we are celebrating, we make a
toast (which I do not think has anything to do with bread, but I was
running out of bread-related things to say.)

Bread
is something we take for granted. It is something which has been part
of our culture for thousands of years. It is a part of our daily
life. We cannot go anywhere without bumping into a slice of bread.
From the humble cheese on toast to the mighty sandwich, to the
fantastic grilled cheese sandwich, bread is everywhere. We cannot
escape it. We will not escape it.

Now
that we have that cleared up let’s talk bread. We all know what
bread is, there is no need to discuss it any further. The real reason
you are here is to learn about how to bake really great bread. Well,
I am going to tell you how, and more. We will start with some history
before we delve into making great bread. From the dough to the
finish, I will tell you everything you need to know about the loaf.
From oven baked to bread maker, we will go through the various
methods at your disposal. From recipe ideas to what you should do
with your stale bread (hint: don’t throw it away), we will learn
about the versatility of this humble yeasty treat.

There
is so much that bread can do and so much that you can do with bread.
The ingredients are endless, the recipes are endless; the
possibilities are endless. Come on a journey with me as we bake some
bread.
