Can't Fail Bread

I'm really not much of a baker, I don't even attempt it most of the time. (With the exception of the recently discovered Midnight Brownies, of course.) There's nothing quite like homemade bread, and it makes the house smell so nice while its baking. This recipe is almost impossible to mess up, which is a definite bonus for me. You can let it sit for a half hour or two or three. You can mix everything up in the wrong order, forget something then add it an hour later, it still works out. So... here it is!

Can't Fail Bread (half batch)

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients, then add water, let rest 1-2 hours.
2. Put in bread pan that's been sprayed with cooking spray and coated with cornmeal or flour.
3. Let rest 1 hour, bake in pre-heated oven at 450 for 20 minutes.
** If desired, sprinkle salt/seasoned salt/herbs on top of bread before baking

Why we love it

I have it toasted, spread with cream cheese for breakfast. The kids douse it with butter and honey, or we dip it in homemade soup. Its yummy any time of day!

 

My only recipe so far that's 5 Stars!

I make this recipe about 3 times per week. No bread from a store in this house. Add italian seasoning for a nice herb flavor. Or add some jalepenos for a nice spice up. Use tomato juice instead of water for what the kids call pizza bread. All fabulous flavors... yum umm...
