I've been out of the habit of making my own bread, though I can't pinpoint why. I think I just got lazy, but I have recently gotten back into the swing of things!
One thing you might not want to know about me is that I have IBS, and this means I have to watch my fibre intake. Unlike a lot of people with this condition, I can't pinpoint it to a particular food, but the type of fibre I consume has a huge effect on my tummy. Lots of plant fibre can be really horrendous for my gut, so I tend not to eat tons of veggies, and high fibre cereals, breads, and grains can also be tricky. When I make bread it's usually white because it's got less fibre in it than whole wheat and my stomach can tolerate it better.
So, I made the recipe that appears in my bread baking tutorial post, which is simple and delish.
I hope to get back into bread-making because it's something I quite enjoy, and there is such a huge world of possibilities out there with it!

Looks like we are thinking the same thing today (I've made bread for many years too). I just posted my white bread recipe. I love the beautiful brown crust on your bread. That is my FAVORITE part.
WC, if I ever end up on death row you are gonna come cook my last meal. Maybe just a loaf of that bread...mmm...
Just seeing this loaf makes me happy...fresh baked bread is one of the best things in the world!
I love bread and bake a loaf at least 1-2 times a week. I very seldom buy mine, unless I'm lazy... Your bread looks perfect!
Cheers,

If I could get my house to smell like homemade bread all the time I would...I just don't have the time to bake bread usually. Nothing better than a freshly baked loaf and butter.....
Ooooo! As Coleen noted, it resembles what she did today. I almost thought you did pretzel bread, based on the way it appears.
Looks delicious! I wish I had a piece to go with my dinner!
I can almost imagine what that loaf musthave smelt like while you were baking it. It looks absolutely gorgeous..
IBS sounds just horrible, especially when you can't pinpoint it to a specific fibrous food. I am glad that you make your own bread however, and that picture has my mouth watering. That bread looks crusty and delicious. MMMM!
It really sucks that you have IBS! I don't know how I'd function if I had it. Your bread looks darn good!
