Have flour?? Make bread!!!

I am pulling up an old favorite!!  I think it may come in handy in the coming months for many.

How to make homemade White Bread!!

I personally use bread flour, however if you only have All purpose I strongly recommend at least sifting it.  If you don't have a 'real' sifter, use a strainer with small holes or whatever you have on hand to help loosen up any clumps!

I use a basic bread recipe for many things:

*Pizza (add less flour for a thinner crust)
*Rolls (make balls and raise them in a muffin pan or on a cookie sheet)
*Cinnamon rolls (that is shown in the link below)
*Cinnamon raisin bread
*Of course loaves of white bread.

This is my recipe:  I find it is very similar if not the same as many recipes I find related to Amish breads.

2 1/2 c. hot to touch water
2 T (or 1 pkg) dry yeast
2T sugar
2t salt
1/4c. oil
3 c. flour

Step by steps instructions are on my post from 2007 (back when I was not allergic to cinnamon.. sigh!!)

Enjoy!!

I have been working on getting my recipes all typed out and into a printable format.  I even made a goal to print a cookbook for at least my family....  for a few Christmas's ago lol..

Many of my favorites are posted on this blog already so I am consistently referring friends and family and decided THIS is where I should focus!

For those who have never seen my blog before, it was really active quite a few years ago, a quick search should find you a few good recipes to try!   Life changed and my posting slowed down but it's time to finish what I started, more recipes that use up ingredients you can actually find in the stores!!

Here is one I get asked for often!!

This recipe will work well if you use GF flour blend in place of the Flour listed here as well!

Cornbread chicken pot pie..

** I found I have two post that were never published.. from 2018.  So here they are!! **

Ok, so I kinda made up this recipe, but adapted it from several ideas. Either it was really good, or everyone was really hungry, because the pan was practically licked clean.

I start almost EVERY recipe with sauteed onions, garlic and mushrooms.  No I don't measure, just use bacon grease or butter and cook them up!

I then added some fresh peeled and cubed carrots and potatoes, as well as leftover chicken!
You can easily replace the leftover chicken with canned chicken or any cooked meat.

Simmer with some cream of mushroom soup and broth until they are almost cooked and it thickens a bit.  I use Progresso GF Cream of Mushroom soup but you can use which ever your go to is.







Pour into your favorite casserole.  I feel deeper dish is better, but as long as it fits, it should work.

I topped with our corn bread recipe (posted below).  You can use a box mix or make it from scratch.  Aldi has a GF corn bread mix as well!

Bake @ 400  until the bread is cooked.
