Weekend Wrap-Up: Easy/Delicious Homemade Bread Recipe! ~ January 17, 2022

 

Hello Monday.  Hope you are all enjoying this long weekend.  Today, I am sharing a little about our weekend.  

Friday night, I made spaghetti and our favorite family homemade bread recipe.  This is a super easy recipe, but it isn't a last minute prep.  It only takes a few minutes to prep the dough, but it will take several hours for the bread to rise.  Here it is if you are looking for a delicious, homemade bread!

8 oz room temperature water

1 ½ tsp rosemary

1-2 cloves garlic

3 Tbsp olive oil

3 cups bread flour

1 tsp salt

1 ¾ tsp yeast (I used a packet of the rapid rise yeast)

Measure all ingredients in mixing bowl (I use my KitchenAid).  Knead until it forms into a dough ball.  Pat dough into a 9 X 13 dish (or round cake pans) and cover for rising.  Let rise until dough doubles in bulk.  Lightly punch down with the end of a spoon (to make small indentations).  Brush dough with olive oil and sea salt and bake at 400 until top just turns brown (about 20 min).  

Best served with this Olive Oil Bread Dip:

1/2 c. olive oil

2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp pepper

2 Tbps grated parmesan

2 tsp rosemary

After dinner, we watched Being the Ricardos on Amazon.  The true story is hard and was a little sad.

Saturday, with the exception of an early morning run to the grocery store, I stayed in all day doing a few things around the house and also watched a Hallmark movie.  Saturday night, we watched the movie Fences.  We didn't know much about it, but it too was a sad movie and hard to watch.

Sunday morning, we woke up to a few inches of snow.  However, it was nice it didn't shut down the town and we were still able to get out on the roads.  We went to church and the drive was so pretty.  The trees were beautiful.  It was also so good to be reminded of God's promises through His word, His people and His creation.

I had made a chicken and corn soup for lunch in the slow cooker.  It was great to come home to and is full of chicken and vegetables.  Later in the afternoon, my husband and I took a walk around our lake and through the woods in our neighborhood.

Instead of watching another sad movie at night about marriages, I watched a few episodes of Seinfeld for some laughs!  

Thankful for some downtime this weekend and hope you are all staying warm!
