I have a confession to make-(deep sigh).
Okay-here it is...
I AM ADDICTED TO BREAD.
Okay-here it is...
I AM ADDICTED TO BREAD.
There-I said it.
One of my biggest weakness' is now out on the table.
LITERALLY.
No-I'm not proud of it.
I know bread isn't exactly the healthiest food.
At least that's what the experts say.
But I just can't help myself.
I see bread and I get weak in the knees and my mouth
automatically begins to water.
Italian bread. French bread. Sourdough bread. Rye Bread.
Breadsticks. Garlic Bread.
I could go on and on...but let's just say if it has the word 'bread' in it-I'm
TOTALLY-COMPLETELY-100% in LOVE!
The problem is-eating that much bread isn't good for anyone.
Especially someone who is trying to watch her waist line.
(Watching it grow that is!)
Yes, sadly-eating large quantities of bread CAN-and WILL
pack on the pounds.
A LOT of POUNDS!
Trust me on this-I know.
So what is a girl who is obsessed with all things bread
suppose to do?
Well, if you're me-you force yourself to eat bread in smaller
portions (EEEK) and of course-in moderation!
And if you want
to go one step further-make your own bread.
That way you know exactly what is in it!
Over the years I've made all kinds of homemade bread-but I have
to say that these Mini-White Bread Loaves are one
of my favorites.
This bread does require kneading-and it takes some time
for rising-but in the end the results are WELL worth it.
Perfect crusty bread-and most importantly the perfect
size! You can even wrap these lovelies up and give
them as gift! I mean really-who wouldn't
want fresh baked bread?

Of course-bread (especially warm bread) just isn't bread without
butter-right? Plain butter is just fine-but I'm talking about
flavored butter! There really are endless possibilities-but
for our recent dinner on the front porch-I decided
to use up some of my fresh herbs-and make garlic-herb butter!
Can I just say-YUM!!
Here are the printable recipes! Enjoy!
Blessings and hugs,

DeleteLooks so good! We have an Amish Farmer that sets up several tables at the Mini Mart down the roa from us and he also sells baked goods. They have the BEST banana bread and it sells at 2 loaves for $5.00!! Saves me the trouble of making it and it is so good with all natural ingredients.
