Determined to make bread

·

I have eaten like crap this entire past week. I think the only highlight of the week that went by was a cup of chocolate ice cream topped with mascarpone that I ate with Paul and Casey. I am determined to make bread this weekend. Specifically, I want to make the easy little bread from 101 cookbooks dot com:

I love that website. It's easily my most favourite recipe website ever. I like the pictures and the commentary on Pioneer Woman Cooks better, but more often than not, her recipes are too soaked in butter, too full of animal products and a trifle too rich for me to handle. I often wonder how many arteries she is clogging with her gorgeous looking blog. I am constantly tempted to go the whole nine atherosclerotic yards but I never make it through even two before I change course and convert her recipes to their ghastly poor versions. Unfortunately, they seldom take kindly to changes.

101 cookbooks, on the other hand, is all about light, airy dishes that don't take too long to cook and are infinitely "tweak-able" with equally good results down each tweaked path.

    Didn't follow the link so I gotta ask do you Fruit in Your bread? If you do or don't (yes I get that making bread is a thing to do and that is part of it) you should find a good bread place... DiCamilo's (not sure if that is spelled right) used to be amazing... Not sure if it is still open but there used to be a place that looks like a house on Niagara st. Think it was near Midas or that area but don't know if they are still around that was years ago.....

    Sometimes I do put in many fruits (dry or otherwise) in my bread. Depends on what kind of bread I am making. That bread I linked is a very simple yeast bread that can be made in a total time of around 2 hours or so (a fairly short time for regular-ish non-sweet bread). The recipe looks incredibly easy.
