As I mentioned, on the farm I have several chores. One of my other many chores is to set up bread every other day.

Making bread isn’t very hard. Mom taught me how to make it when Kate, Mom’s friend, gave Mom the recipe. Kate’s recipe is really simple. All you have to do is have King Arthur Bread Flour, two medium sized bowls, water, salt, and yeast.

Here’s the recipe:

Mom’s Amazing Bread
(One loaf)
•    Three cups of King Arthur Bread Flour
•    One and a half cups of water
•    One fourth of a tea spoon of yeast
•    Salt (a circle the size of a silver dollar)

After everything is mixed in, rub olive oil on the bottom of the second bowl.

Put the dough in that bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and leave it alone for twenty-four hours, at room temperature.

After twenty-four hours, fold the dough twice and wait for it to double in size.

Once that’s done preheat the oven to 450 degrees and put it on bake.

Bake it in a Dutch oven with the lid on for thirty minutes and for fifteen to twenty minutes with the lid off.

Let it cool for twenty minutes. Now you have fresh-baked bread!

Peace to ya,
