Anyone for a slice of hot bread with a pat of butter?
Some aromas take me right back to childhood, and one of them is the smell of bread baking. It was pure torture when Mom took the bread from the oven and wrapped it in a tea towel to rest, before we could start slicing it.
That resting period is something a child cannot, or does not want to, understand.
Of course, we soon learnt that slicing the bread too soon would turn the bread into a big crumbly mess!
My brothers always had friends over to play touch rugby; Mom made two loaves of bread daily, and one of them would be polished off that same afternoon. I am convinced that not just the game, but that hot bread, was a magnet for the friends, as their Moms did not bake bread.
Having grown up with homemade bread, I cannot eat the mass-produced bread that is sold in our stores. Although I have been trying to avoid bread due to IBS, I do long for it and believe homemade at least is better for one, so I will share my basic white bread recipe with you.
One can add seeds, raisins, cranberry, or bran, and substitute some of the white flour with brown or whole wheat flour.
I added seeds and topped the loaves with grated cheese, but, I'm running away with myself, so here goes:
Basic Ingredients:
The Recipe
Mixing and Kneading
The Rising
I always use my Wonder Bag to let the bread rise - any warm space will also work.
The Bake
The Proof is in the 'Pudding'!
I would have preferred Strawberry or Blueberry Jam, but am trying to cut back the sugar, so had to be satisfied with fresh fruit on the side.

This looks wonderful! I need to get back to baking again. I just bought a loaf of einkorn sourdough bread and plan on trying it this week. I've never tasted einkorn before.
I've never heard of Einkorn, so googled it, sounds way healthier and easier on the digestive system, but considerably more pricey. How does the cost compare to regular sourdough? I must check whether the flour is available here.
I find even sourdough sets off my IBS, so this bread that I made, did not help that issue, even though I only ate a little, I gave the bigger loaf to a friend while it was still hot.
I'd much rather pay extra for healthier bread as I eat very little.

Your brother's friends must have loved your Mom's loaf bread they kept coming :)
Thank you for sharing your own recipe for the cheesy seed bread. I'm bookmarking it and maybe someday, I will be inspired to bake one myself hehe.
I'm sure that hot bread was a big drawcard @ifarmgirl.
It's a nice basic recipe, super easy, I let my Kenwood mixer do the kneading, same results with less effort 😉
I love this recipe and will certainly be giving it a try. It looks delicious with the cheese on top. ♥
The cheese topping is really nice, especially when the bread is still warm.
Thank you for popping into my kitchen @sunscape 😉
It looks really delicious.
It was, thank you @mnurhiver
This kind of bread I have never tasted and from the look of it, it's one of the best recipes I'm yet to taste.
Deliciously yummy 😋
Thank you @edith-4angelseu, it's a nice basic recipe that you can change to your liking.
It looks delicious, like bread, perfect for a snack, especially with coffee. Wann try it out soon. 😇
Thank you @teacherlynlyn, I've been having a slice of toast with my morning coffee, just with plain butter, nothing else!

STOPI will take note of the recipe, making bread at home must be a delight. The one you have made looks spectacular and with cheese even more so. Greetings friend. Have a nice day.🤗🥰
