Do you make bread? How do you make your bread, please??
I mix my bread by hand. I use water, about a cup and 1/2, very warm. Mix a package of yeast in it and two heaping tablespoons of sugar (for the yeast) and let it sit in a warm place for ten minutes, until bubbles form on the top. Then put 1 tsp salt, 3 tablespoons butter, and enough bread flour to form a soft dough. I used to knead it, but I found out I don't need to knead, LOL! I let it rise in a warm place until just double (more rising is not always better, the yeast runs out of energy), and then punch down and put it in my baking pan. I just got a long baking pan, and boy it is nice...before I was just using my corning ware or glass loaf pans. Then let it rise again, until just double the volume. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes...I covered the loaf lightly with foil the last bit of time, so it would not get so very brown.

Everything looks great! I really love those hearts! :0)
Lovely quilts, as always.
We use a bread machine to mix our bread, but only use the dough cycle, then we turn it out and finish it in the oven, that way there is no pesky paddle hole and a nicely shaped loaf.
And I've been using some tiny scraps to make frankenmats. LOL
What a beautiful gift for your friend and coworker.
Shelly’s quilt is beautiful, and she will love it.
all such pretty projects...i make oatmeal rolls...a bread recipe reshaped...calls for rising in the fridge which really works! they are uber delish...
So many beautiful projects. They are all so beautiful. Hugs
My favorite is the Ukraine quilt - love the hearts and setting. Shelly's quilt is pretty! I am sure she will cherish it.
Have a great day! Hugs
I love your scrappy candle mat! I may have to try your bread recipe. I’m so sorry about your friend. Her quilt is lovely.
For bread I use our Bosh mixer. I make 2 loaves at a time and whole wheat flour. No butter. Our oven is small. Won't hold more than 2 loaves. If I'm going to get the bowl dirty i might as well make it worth the effort. Then when cool I slice them, bag them and freeze one.
Shelly's quilt can't help but bring cheer, it is so colorful and happy! So good of you to do this for your friend who is going through so much!
Your Ukraine quilt is a beauty! Can't believe how quickly this came together, with everything else you are doing!
Very pretty bowties in your favorite color.
Cute and whimsical appliqué quilt. So sweet.
The candle mat is very nice. Again, amazing what you get done.
I probably made bread almost every week for decades until I was hit with celiac disease. I ground my own wheat, and mixed 4 loaves at a time in my Bosch mixer. Sometimes I would make 2 loaves of white bread and roll it up with cinnamon and sugar inside before baking. It made great french toast! I really miss good homemade bread!
Shelleys quilt is a burst of colour and joy.......I sure hope it brings her some comfort......lots of bits on the go here.........I make bread sometimes but I am lazy and pop it into the bread maker.......certainly cheap and no additives.......and it taste so much better......only down side is i eat to much of it at times........
