Easiest Free Form Bread Ever!

1/2/2017

I always rub butter on the crust of my bread when it comes out of the oven like my mama taught me. Does anyone else do that?
      I have posted a few different types of bread before, here is the Braided Bread recipe, and just last week I did Sprouted Whole Wheat Bread.  My friend, Anita, over at Craftastico on Facebook, baked  this super simple and quick loaf of bread taught to her by her friend Julie Bangart Newell.  I told her how great it looked and she told me that I should make it and write about it on my blog! So, I did and it is just as good as she said.  Since I was using our leftover ham bone from Christmas to make Navy Beans and Ham today, I felt like this bread would be the perfect accompaniment for it.

      This recipe gave me an excellent reason to use my new Kitchen Aid! I have the tilt-head variety like this one. My daughter has the kind where the bowl lifts.  Either one is terrific, it is a matter of personal preference. I also have a Bosch for mixing large quantities of bread, but when the recipe is only for a couple of loaves, the Kitchen Aid is just the ticket!
          Here is Julie's simple recipe and a few picture tips.  Push the button for the printable recipe and click the pictures for tips:

One of my loaves came out bigger than the other. I feel like I could have made 3 loaves!

Still hot! My favorite way to eat bread!
       As you can see,  my cookie sheets are becoming very well seasoned. I am thinking of replacing them.  These Circulon ones have very good reviews on Amazon.  Has anyone had any experience with them?  In the meantime, I will still enjoy the fruits of my labors off of my old pans.  I hope you try this recipe, it is great bread in about an hour.

Hi Helen, This bread sounds easy to make and it looks so delicious! I look forward to trying it soon. By the way, I've had my KitchenAide mixer for 41 years and it's still going strong! (I also have a Bosch & it's great, too!) Blessings, Janet

this looks absolutely DELICIOUS! Full of carbs and just tempting me to gain weight...haha! But I may give it a try so my family can taste it (and I will try to resist!). :)

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors kitchenaid! What do I mean? I'm totally jealous!!!! I have one I can borrow from my mother in law, but it's not the same as having your own.

How is the crust on this bread? The other loaves I've made in the last turn too hard, but maybe that's just me over kneeding it.

Thanks so much for posting your blog post to the #FanDayFriday Link Party! I hope you have a great experience with the link party and come back again next week! #fdflinkparty

Patty, this crust is not tough or hard at all! It is one of the best loaves like this I have ever had. Sorry about the KitchenAid, I have waited many years for mine, so don't give up!
