Who Has TIme For Homemade Bread!!!

I have always wanted to be a good wife and make homemade bread for my family. I thought it would take to long and man, if it turned out anything like my bread machine bread, then I knew it would be a disaster. It wouldn't raise or it would raise too much..... I must not be a baker.

But my sister, Stefanie, found a great homemade bread recipe that a dummy like me could follow. It tastes great, it is very easy, and it makes you feel like a domestic wife. This is originally for your food storage because there is only 5 ingredients and we should have all of these ingredients in our food storage anyway. So thanks Stef!

Food Storage Bread

1 tbsp yeast
1 tbsp salt
1/3 c honey
2 c warm water
4-5 c flour

Add yeast, salt, and honey to the warm water. I don't use a whole tbsp of salt. It tastes a little much for me. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to activate the yeast. Add the mixture to the flour and knead together. Spray your large loaf pan and place bread in there. Let rise until desired (I usually let rise for 1 hr or so). Then bake.
@ 400 for 25-30 minutes.

I totally made this TODAY!!! And, it is freaking delicious! I made two small loaves out of this recipe, and one is almost gone already. HA.
Also, I bake mine at 350 degrees for the small loaves. It makes them really moist.

I love you and I miss you.
