Let’s Bake Bread

My tradition of going to the Palisades Farmer’s Market for their delicious Belgian waffles continues.

Quin (my new roommate who is as obsessed with food as I am) agrees, these piping hot, doughy waffles are killer. After admiring gorgeous loaves of bread at various bakers stands, we decided to go home and bake some bread. Quin has a little more experience in the baking bread department, I followed her lead.
Microwave the milk, water, honey and butter until the temperature is around 120-130. Then add in the yeast.

Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients with mixer on low.

Let rise in a warm place, covered for about an hour.

Spread into a rectangle, then roll bread into a log.

Let rise more in the bread pan, before baking at 350 for about 40 minutes.

Ohh man fresh bread smells amazing.
