I love making bread and sadly for us, we love eating bread. We both love cold sandwiches in the summer. My favorites are tuna salad, cucumber and BLTs. My favorite bread for sandwiches and for morning toast is sourdough – crunchy crust with big holes for butter and jelly. Vince loves the Anadama Bread. The recipe makes three loaves if I’m using the smaller bread pans. Vince always eats at least one slice of toast when he gets up. We eat breakfast/brunch about 10:30 most mornings and sometimes it’s toast but not every morning. We will have our main meal about 3 and then often Vince will eat a sandwich later in the evening so he can easily go through three loaves. I keep it in the fridge so I don’t think we’ve ever had a loaf of it go bad.
The sourdough makes one loaf and I usually end up eating about 3/4 of the loaf and cutting the rest up for croutons.
You can see the anadama bread on the left behind the juice. One sourdough recipe is in the blue bowl and there’s another sourdough recipe in another bowl.
The glasses have juice in them. We had an abundance of good juicing fruits and veggies so I juiced carrots, apples, strawberries, beets and kale.
We have plenty of bread to make it through the week . . or we will after I get the sourdough baked today.

Once again you were my inspiration–I now seldom buy bread, and use the recipe you recommended for the Amish White Bread as our daily bread. But today I’m going to make some loaves of the Dee’s Health Bread which is also a recipe you have used in the past. I haven’t made Dee’s Health Bread in a long, long time. Before reading your blog I NEVER made bread! We are not big bread eaters but the homemade stuff tastes so much better and the grands love it. I cut the loaves in half and freeze them, taking out just one half loaf at a time, otherwise in our household it will go bad. I also make croutons with the stale bread.

So nice to know you’re enjoying making bread. We do eat it but I’d surely miss making it if we stopped eating bread.

To me, fresh baked bread is better than cake!

I so agree!

Judy, I check for your posts every day. I love hearing about what you cook, grow, can and make.
Thanks to you I have a keyhole garden in NH. And I have started on a sourdough journey. I made lactic fermented pickles. Now I wish NH had pallet stores!
I think I will go feed the starter, and get a couple of loaves started.
Thanks for what you do and share.
