So Richard Chrz, WayneT, hoovarmin and rickgregory have all inspired me to get into baking bread. I have a lot of fond memories of helping my grandmothers bake breads and rolls when I was a small boy. A few months ago I found both my mothers and grandmothers old recipe boxes. Inside was my grandmothers yeast bread recipe, which she would make rolls, bread and cinnamon rolls from.
So for Thanksgiving I made those rolls....the recipe is nothing fancy and no secrets but it made me feel good to think about the last time she made bread for us kids and i'm now using her recipe for the first time since!! Those were some of the best rolls i've had in a long time.
Now, these above mentioned fella's got me interested in making Sourdough.....well i'm now hooked on another hobby....HA. Made a basic starter from the "king arthur flour" recipe and actually produced my very first loaf of sourdough bread ever!! Thanks to you all for sharing your wisdom via this forum, it's been a valuable resource for me.
Here's my yeast rolls from Thanksgiving.....don't pay attention to the ugly one....it ate just fine...HA.
And finally here's my first loaf of Sourdough Bread. I added a little too much flour to my bowl when letting it rise but other than that it was a pretty good first attempt.
