AMAZING HOMEMADE BREAD

Wow!  So I turned my back on Steve the Bread Guy.  Sorry, Steve.  Nothing personal.  I had a bookmarked bread recipe on allrecipes.com, and set out making it.  Of course, I failed to read the bit about the recipe being make for a breadmaker, but that's generally how I roll.

Wheatish Bread, Take II

I did it!!  It happened!!!  And then I ripped the loaf all up getting it out of the pan.  Ah well.  They can't all be winners, can they?

Same Steve the Bread Guy recipe.  Well, sort of- I used 3 cups of white flour, and 3.5 c of whole wheat flour.  

I had my *game face* on this time.  No playing around.  Here's the pictures:

Wheat bread....will you be mine?

Another week.  Another bread attempt.
Another YouTube video recipe.
No, I don't learn.

Homemade Bread Attempt #1

Homemade bread attempt #1.  Also multiple-picture-blog attempt #1.  Too bad I only know how the bread ended up.
I found this recipe on YouTube.  Okay, okay- mistake #1.  But she had a British accent and was SO CONVINCING.  And I still believe the recipe was fine... it was just my first attempt.
I borrowed my mom's KitchenAid because that's what the British lady said to use to knead the bread dough.  SOLD.  I want one so bad, but I have no where to put it.  *At the moment.*  Anyway, moving on.

I had no idea what was happening.  My dough didn't look anything like the video, but I got tired of adding flour, so I slopped the whole thing in the pan and crossed my fingers.  Here's the pre-rise:

Here's the after-rise and the cooked pics!  It was just okay.  It tasted like sourdough bread, which I do not particularly love, but the husband liked it a lot.


Also, allow me to fetch the YouTube video link & post it.  Watch it and TELL ME YOU DON'T TRUST HER COMPLETELY.
