Are you sitting down? This is theeeeeee best homemade bread recipe. The. Best. It's a staple in our home now and it's delish. If you try to get me to buy bread in a store, we will need to talk. The bread recipe is waaaaaay simple to make. It only takes 4 ingredients, and it's no-fail perfection! P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-ON. You'll absolutely freak your face.
Baking bread just makes life feel good, doesn't it? Homemade bread tastes like life at 10 years old... all delicious & nostalgia-like. It may sound strangely weird, but I find that if I have a tidy home, light some candles, bake some bread and top it off with the scent of essential oils in a room diffuser... well... everything wrong just feels right again.
I truly believe that when you quiet your mind and clear your space .... everything changes. You think better. You feel better.
For as long as I can remember, I've always been inspired to live an unhurried life.
It is how I Design The Life I Want To Live. See how I just threw those words in there? LOL.
Slowing down.
Appreciating the little things in life.
It's where it's at.
You could lock me in a cage for forever and just throw me this bread. It's that good. The bread is fantastic with butter. and cheese. and olives. and wine. (times three) I want it in my face right now.
All my feelings are right up there ^^^^In that bowl. It's theeeee easiest bread to make.
This Homemade Bread Recipe is ahhhhh.
Did you know that there are 4,738,990,845,790 gazillion trillion recipes on the internet, for homemade bread ? Don't even think about fact checking this. I think the internet is down. It will also take you a lifetime to find the best ones. Not that I did that. I totally did that.
The point is, there's only one good bread recipe. This is it.
2. Cast Iron : Do not take a short cut on the cast iron dutch oven thannnng. It needs to be CAST IRON <- I screamed that. Be sure to buy a pot where the lid can also be heated up in a 450 degree oven annnnnnd don't forget that you need to heat that thing up in the stove when it is preheating for the bread. Remember. Cast Iron. Supes important.
Note to self: If you accidentally touch your pot without oven mitts on.... ooooooooooooouch....life is ruined. Time to call a hot firefighter.
3. Dutch oven size : I should also mention that I cheated on the dutch oven size and used one that was too big. I already stole owned the larger sized dutch oven, so I just went with it. My dutch oven is the size of Australia. The photo on the Le Creuset site makes the bread look massive because it is in a small dutch oven. Surprisingly not surprisingly this tricked me. I thought my loaf was a midget, for weeks on end. It looked like a teeny weeny polka dot bikini in my massively huge pot AKA Australia. Duh Lynne. I'll just go ahead and kick myself in the shins.
4. Small loaf : All of that was the long way of saying, this recipe makes a small loaf of bread, not a massive one.... and it's basically PERFECT. And it's easy to do. And it will be the best bread you've ever eaten. And it will change your life.
It's the homemade bread recipe that solves everything 😂!
You'll squeal like a tool when the bread pops outta the oven. I double dawg dare you to see how long you can wait before you want to put it in your face.
