I made a new homemade bread recipe yesterday and it was AWESOME!
I'm not working now anyhow, so I may bake one day a week, a few loaves.
I was personally very impressed. I don't like store bought bread and these days it tastes worse than ever.

I actually have had to refrain from making bread...we don't really buy it, but when I make it fresh, we eat WAY too much of it!!!  |

Sure, when I find it (I saved it somewhere and modified it).
tkln--this is very true. I hardly ever eat bread unless it's from the bakery/supermarket or homemade. I think I ate 2/3rds of the loaf I made (it's all gone just now to toast!). |

I got it from this website
The Simple Dollar » Homemade Bread: Cheap, Delicious, Healthy, and Easier Than You Think
Not sure if we are allowed to post links from other websites...? If not, a mod can cut it.
I added an egg to the dough and it was quite sticky (I wasn't paying attention but I make dough a lot so I know to keep adding in flour). So it may or may not work the same for you (I wasn't sure how much sugar I added). |

I love to knead dough, but last year, after all the 'no knead bread' craziness, I bought this book:
Amazon.com: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking: Jeff Hertzberg, Zoe Francois: Books
Absolutely amazing recipes, and the best (hmm, or worst??) part is you make a huge batch of dough that can sit in the fridge for 2 weeks, and you just pull out a hunk every night to make a loaf. The semolina has not been kind to my waistline!!! |

Wow, crusty bread. That's probably about the only food I miss from metro NY--crust Italian bread. The ones in the store are too soft.

The BEST crusty bread I've had in years, but only on the day it was baked, of course:
Red Hen Baking Company - Organic, hearth-baked, artisan breads from Middlesex, Vermont |

We have made our own bread for years. Wore out two pans on the old cheapie bread maker and so invested in the Zojirushi bread maker sold by King Arthur. Got a deal on it, still a bit pricey, but worth it... and it is the best thing since... well you know !!
