Homemade Bread Day.


November 17th is Homemade Bread Day and later on today, to celebrate, I'll bake a crusty loaf to eat with homemade soup for lunch.




I really enjoy eating baking fresh bread and of course we can buy beautiful baguettes and pains of various types locally, but really, is there anything to beat the smell of baking bread as it wafts through the house on a cold chilly morning in November?


I only started baking my own bread last year after being inspired by TV cook Lorraine Pascale.
The blog post that I wrote back in February 2011 has been the most visited of all my posts, receiving over 2000 hits since it was published!

and perhaps you'll be baking bread today, too?

    I have a craving for bread. In fact, I seldom buy it anymore. However, warm, homemade rolls or bread, never would turn down.

    Oh Maggie I can smell that fresh bread here. I stopped baking my own bread and I gave the baking machine to our son. It was too good and I ate too much of it, LOL. But after two years I am going to ask if he ever uses it. LOL,
    Have a nice week.

    Hi Maggie....you are soooo right...there is nothing like homemade bread. How yummy yours looks in your homey kitchen...I bet it was perfect with the soup! Funny that you had that for your supper last night...I did too...and with homemade cornbread which is also gluten free.

    I make all the breads that I eat as I'm gluten intolerant. It has been an adventure and now that I've been at it for several years, I wouldn't have it any other way. Like you, I published a Tutorial post on baking GF Bread, and it is one of the most visited posts on CollectInTexas Gal.

    Happy Baking and thanks for visiting for Pink Saturday.

    I haven't made bread since forever - time to give it a shot again, as nothing is nicer than fresh bread and homemade soup.
