The Best Bread

I have a new favorite bread recipe. This bread is super easy to make and only has four ingredients. I had to make sure I planned ahead since there's a lot of rising that needs to happen with this bread. The actual hands-on process is very easy and not nearly as time consuming as all the rising that takes place with this bread. This bread is simple and satisfying and is sure to leave your guests impressed. Seriously, I don't think I've made a better bread. It is a very nice, simple, white bread that is great with a nice southern dinner or just to snack on during the day. I would suggest planning on giving one of the loaves away since this recipe makes two. Yes, I think you could eat both loaves. Yes, I think I could eat both loaves. But we both know we should share and not indulge too much.

Simple White Bread
Originial Recipe from Joy the Baker

1 1/2 C hot water
2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
2 teaspoons of salt
4 cups of bread flour

Strawberry Balsamic Flatbread

This flatbread has everything that I like, such as strawberries, cheese, the tangy taste of balsamic vinegar, and flour. Have I mentioned that I have an obsession with dough? It's probably not a healthy obsession to have, but it's just soooo good!

This flatbread was so easy to make and the taste is different than a lot of breads I'm used to. I like how the strawberries are on top of the bread instead of being crushed inside. It was also my first time to use orange zest. I guess you can tell I'm still pretty new to the culinary world.

Super Seeded Soda Bread

No, not soda from a can, baking soda! This recipe contains six different seeds, poppy, sunflower, seasame, pumpkin, and flax! Though, next time instead of using whole flax seeds I'll use ground flax seeds since those are easier to digest and you'll get full nutritional value.

Homemade Naan

Naan is an Indian flatbread and it's becoming increasingly more popular here in the United States. It's also super easy to make! I followed this recipe and didn't have to make any modifications! I loved it, my folks loved it, and it's definitely on the list of something I'll need to make again. I put a few in the freezer just so they would keep a little bit longer. This naan went wonderfully with the feta dip I made yesterday.
