I believe in miracles!





Well most of you know that I am a pretty decent cook, in fact I cook for a living! Well many of you also know that my baking abilities with bread SUCK!!!! I can't make anything rise. Justin affectionately calls my attempts "pound cake". I have tried every recipe known to man and every type of rising ingredient and method. Well about 2 months ago I went to a bread class in Ogden and learned how to make the most amazing bread that can be used for wheat bread, pizza crust and cinnamon rolls. The only catch was that the guy used a BOSCH mixer. Well my dear hubby bought me one for Christmas I believe in hopes that someday he would benefit from the outcome. So last week I headed up to Brigham City to buy all of the necessary ingredients to make this amazing recipe (they have a Honeyville Grain outlet up there and I needed vital wheat gluten and dough enhancer) My great in-laws gave us 100 pounds of wheat for Christmas (it is what we asked for) and I inherited my mothers 30 year old wheat grinder. So on Friday I mad the recipe. Well when I looked in the oven to see if they bread had risen (fingers crossed) this is what I found! I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing! The most plump beautiful bread ever! So after I baked it up it was like a dream come true! Soft, moist, amazing bread! I would love to say it is my amazing baking abilities but I think it was the great recipe and the BOSCH! Now I can finally start making my own bread for my family instead of ever having to buy store bought again! ITS A MIRACLE!!!

I am so proud of you! Now you just have to teach me how to bake. I'm with you I can cook great, baking is not my strong point.

good Job! I need to learn how to make some too. Its so much more economical. My friend gave me a recipe with gluten and dough enhancer. I should try it. But I dont have a bosch!

I have a super easy recipe that you can make start to finish in 1 hour. It is so yummy! I would love your recipe. I only have a kitchenaid, so hopefully the bosch isn't the secret ingredient ;)
