Any Home Bakers Here?

Have you tested it to see if that's the problem?



How big of a jar can you get at Costco? I can only find the little jars around here. I do keep it in the fridge after opening but use it up pretty fast anyway. We'd have to drive about 90 minutes to get to a Costco but might be worth it if we had to pick up other stuff too.

Costco in Woodland sells the 32oz size of Red Star instant yeast. It is in a foil container. It is good yeast!

I used to be a little intimidated by yeast bread recipes too until I came across this gem:

It is so easy, much quicker than many bread recipes, and absolutely delicious. I made this often; or I did when we lived up north. I haven't much wanted to turn on the oven lately. The days are getting cooler though and I'm sure I'll make this bread recipe soon.

I just pulled a loaf of your Easy Peesy French Bread out of the oven. It smells wonderful. I added some Italian seasoning and garlic powder to it. As soon as it cools a bit, DH and I are digging in!

Hope you liked it!

Hope you liked it!

It's very good, and so easy to make! DH has already eaten 1/3 of the loaf, lol. We both liked the herbs and garlic in it...I think next time I make it, I'll add those same two things and a minute or two before it's done, I'll put some shredded cheese on it.

Thanks for sharing the recipe @KatharinetheGr8 , it gets a

from me!

So glad it turned out! I love making fresh bread, and an easy recipe like that makes it a lot more reasonable to make it frequently.

I really enjoy the whole process of making bread and it's nice to know exactly what's in it. With the store bought stuff, you have to wonder.

I'm gonna have to try this tomorrow. Your talk of Italian spices, garlic and cheese has me craving carbs! And I love an easy yeast bread
