Today was the day that the leaves all fell off the trees.

Back on the bread making kick. Taking that 6-12min to knead really helps to clear my head. You can't do anything else for those few minutes, and if your brain starts to wander, a little extra kneading isn't a bad thing.

See all the 365Project posts here.

I haven't done any weekend batch cooking/baking in about a month. There were a couple of weekends I planned to do batch cooking based on the weather being crap, and then it wasn't crap.

Does anyone else notice that nearterm weather forecasts are getting tres-mal?

Anyway, what did I …

I have been making all the bread for the house for the last couple weeks, and this weekend was no exception. This weekend I also made a triple batch of pan pizza dough for the freezer.

I tried a new bread recipe a couple weeks ago, and well, I didn't like it all that much. So I went back to old stand-bys and it is great.

This example has 2 extra cups of flour because kids make losing count pretty easy. I made another batch today …

We were running low on bread, so I made some white bread from a Better Homes and Gardens Recipe.

This brown bread is the second recipe that I have attempted since we recieved the Bently Cookbook.

Its mid-week now and the bread that I made on the weekend is still holding up nicely. One of them are the hot dog buns.

So that I can find the recipes quickly in the future, I'm putting them here.

I made bread yesterday too, but today's looks a lot better.

Yesterday's attempt wasn't kneaded enough and I used too much flour on the board when I was punching down and forming the loaf.
