Urgh! I really hate trying to find things through the search and I am so pressed for time. I don't have a bread machine and I want to make some wheat bread, and there was a blog a while ago, "How much is your grocery bill?" Don't remember who wrote it, but Trula contributed alot about the breadmaking thing, and I believe they are called self risers, can't be sure. If anybody can help me with tips or links, I would be so grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Homemade bread recipes

I get almost all my bread recipes off of www.allrecipes.com . It takes a while to sift through and find ones that are not for bread machines but it is worth it. I have a recipe for creamy banana bread and one I made up for pumpkin pecan bread if you want it. Just let me know.

is a good site.

yeasted bread is weirdly hard to explain. i've thought of typing out how i make mine but there's too much typing involved for people who don't have experience making the bread. can you get a cookbook from the library? the fannie farmer cookbook has several pages on mixing, kneading, raising and baking dough. then once you have an idea of those you go on to your recipe.
it's not hard to do at all, but it takes more energy than i have to type out all the instructions. plus, there's pictures in the book. i think the joy of cooking also has good bread instructions.

I bookmarked it but so far just keep using my bread machine! btw, I see used ones at thrift shops all the time.

what's with the gloves?

do you wear gloves making bread? what's up with that? do people do that?

I bake my own bread

I have gotten a lot of good recipies from MSL~especially this one for rosemary whole wheat but I usually just make a simple white loaf. The yeast thing, I am not sure what a self riser is but I know that rapid rise yeast can be mixed into the dry ingredients & then you add warm liquids but the regular kind of yeast needs to be proofed which only means that you mix it with a little sugar, whatever amount the recipie calls for, and about 1/4 cup of warm water and let it sit for about ten minutes until it is foamy. I have also read how to make your own sourdough starter with grapes which sounds pretty easy but time consuming & I haven't had the time to try it yet
