Bake Your Own Bread At Home

Bake your own bread at home using whole wheat instead of buying whole wheat bread at the store, it's much much healthier. AND you know exactly what's going in your bread.

It's not that hard to bake bread, it just takes practice. Practice makes perfect right? Just find a good bread recipe, I'm sure you may have neighbors or a grandmother who has a phenominal bread recipe you could borrow. Or even find one on the internet to try. Just try a few different ones.

And after you've gotten good at making just plain ole whole wheat bread at home. You can try other great bread recipes and try making italian or even sweet breads. Rolls, or biscuits, or even cinnamon buns! Once you get good at one thing, you can start adding in a few other recipes and testing out all sorts of ways to make your breads better. The possibilities are endless!

I started off making bread from my milled whole grains and now I've gotten to where I can make pretzels, bagels, biscuits, pizza crusts, herb bread, etc. I can make all sorts of things if I just put my mind to it and don't give up. It's a whole lot of fun. Start out small and with one or two things to make, because you don't want to get discouraged if you can't do 4 different types of breads.

And have fun! That's the key. If you're making this for you family or even if you're just doing it for yourself. Don't slave away in the kitchen, have fun with it and don't stress if a recipe doesn't work out the first time.
