I have been really making an effort  to make all the bread products we eat from scratch… breads, rolls, sourdough, ciabatta, hotdog/hamburger buns, tortilla’s, pizza dough and more…

(simple crusty bread)

My new favourite bread...

It does take time and effort and planning but really the more often I do it the easier it becomes… the first times I made tortillas it took me about an hour tp make a batch and now I can make them in less than 30 min… and I even make a 1/2 batch more so that we have leftovers and can freeze them if we need to…

homemade tortillas

Here is a simple wrap made with my tortillas, grilled veggies and tofu with an avocado-wasabi mayo…

yummy wrap...

Our everyday bread I make about once a week and I make 3-4 loaves at a time… it takes a few minutes to make the dough and then all that is left is to let it rise and make the loaves and bake…

bread and hotdog buns

Hotdog and hamburger buns are very simple and it takes a few minutes to make the dough and then they rise quickly and bake in a few minutes…

hotdog buns...

Though I use WW flour often, I use Unbleached flour as  the usual flour because it bakes really well and makes a lighter bread which the family enjoys, and I add a 12 grain mix (especially to our everyday bread) to make it healthier and more nutritious…  I also now I have a new flour (local organic flour that I have been using)… but that will be another post!

(Yorkshire pudding)

There is a lot of work in cooking from scratch, but I know what we are eating, the taste is so much better, the smell of bread baking and food cooking is so worth the effort, and we are saving money and eating better….
