It's a new year and time to start fresh. Why not start something new this year? My husband bought me a bread maker last year, and I was so excited to be able to make fresh bread for our family over the last year. Having the ability to make a baguette or garlic bread to accompany our supper was awesome.
After finding out how easy it is to make home made breads, I have decided that I want to try my hand at some without the maker. DK Canada sent me a great book to help me get started. I am super excited to try out the recipes in the book. The first one I plan on trying is the Sweet Roll recipe, and next up the chocolate croissant recipe (I am not a huge fan, but hubby loves them)
They have a huge selection of books to choose from: cooking, baking, gardening, jewelry, languages and more! What would you like to start this year?
I really like DK books - they are well written and my kids enjoy them.

DeleteI would love that bread book! Making homemade bread is something I would love to do. Going to go check it out, thanks! (Judy Cowan)
ReplyDeleteI love knowing the ingredients going into it, and the house smells delicious while it is baking!
DeleteI got 3 cookbooks for xmas. I love cook books! This bread one seems great too. On a natural parenting level following Waldorf, baking bread and getting kids involved is a great educational tool too. I'd love to make bread with my son.
ReplyDeleteI have way too many cookbooks, need to weed out the ones I don't use...I hadn't heard that about baking bread before - interesting!
DeleteDK Books are always so interesting and helpful! I have a breadmaker but I haven't used it in a while because I lost the recipe I had that worked perfectly for me every time. I have never tried making bread without the maker. Hopefully you'll update us to let us know if it worked out well.
ReplyDeleteoh no - that sucks. I have a baguette recipe that came with my maker which I love. I won't stop using it
DeleteMy husband is the break maker in our family because of the bread machine :) but it is a lot of fun to take your aggression out on that rising piece of dough. lol
ReplyDeleteit sure is a great stress reliever!
DeleteI need that bread book! It will be awesome to try some recipes
ReplyDeleteIt's a great book!
DeleteI love getting cooking inspiration from new cook books
ReplyDeleteme too - although I will admit that I have so many cook books and don't even use 90% of them
