    Beautiful looking bread! I learned so much from this video about the rising process and the need to not over rise on the first rise. I never really knew why there were such specific directions about the rise times and I think I probably was over rising the first time resulting in a more dense loaf. You break things down into such simple terms that it is easier to understand. You are a natural teacher. Thank you so much! Have a great week.

    I followed your cinnamon roll recipe for making cinnamon rolls for our family Christmas party. They were delicious and the kids loved them! I even won our family Christmas dessert contest with them. Thank you for providing the recipe and video. It helped me get over the intimidation of making them. Now, on to the next challenge.

      I made them for our Christmas Brunch. I added a twist though, I had some left over Streusel topping from the Pumpkin Bread I made & some left over Eggnog Glaze from some Eggnog Cookies I made; I added the Streusel topping inside w/ the Cinnamon Sugar rolled'em up/cut'em & added more Streusel on the top. I baked them & drizzled them w/ the Eggnog Glaze on top....DELICIOUS❗️👍🏼

      Thank you. RuthAnn i’m curious why you would use white flour when it’s so devoid of nutrients and fresh milled flour has so many nutrients n highest source of vitamin E, so many testimonies of people having gut issues gone just by adding fresh milled whole wheat flour breads to their daily diet. Have you heard of Sue Becker? I recommend her videos on UA-cam channel Bread Beckers and her podcast Sue’s healthy Minutes. Blew my mind.
      BTW Thank you for tip on how to add warmth n humidity. Im new to baking n milling fresh flour.
      You inspire me to want to try your recipes

    Ruthann: When you can't rise and bake your bread loaves during the second rise period due to time constraints, it is perfectly ok to cover and place them into the refrigerator to slow down the process of the second rise. If you are going to be busy for the next 4 hours chances are good that the bread will make its second rise in that time period just fine and be ready to go into the oven once you get back home from your errands. It is also possible to rise bread in the refrigerator overnight if you place it into the refrigerator immediately following the first rise and bake it first thing in the morning. I have done this with cinnamon rolls many times.

    There you go again with those petals of wisdom. I didn't know to not let the dough raise too much in the first raising of my dough. This explains a lot to me as to why my bread does not raise very well. I live at about 4,300 feet in elevation, which presents its own set of challenge too. Thank you for your great knowledge and imparting this to your audience aka me😊❣️

    That is the simplest white bread recipe I have seen and it looks so scrumptious. My two teenage granddaughters live with me and I think this would be a good white bread for the three of us to make this week before school begins again next Wednesday. We get almost three weeks of Christmas vacation down here in our school district in Texas ! We have had fun but I am so ready for them to return to return to school ! I know you are a super busy woman but I am so looking forward to your cookbook and I already am planning on buying one for each of my grandchildren who range from thirty-four to fourteen years of age. I think that would be a great parents for their parents as well. That is a total of twelve books. That will be my 2024 Christmas presents. Shopping done for everyone ! Watching you continue to live and do things that are a part of your home roots, take me back to my childhood. Back in the forties and fifties we sill churned our own butter, made cheeses, culled the farm animals and processed them. We also baked all of our breads, noodles, cookies, etc from scratch and we were all the more healthier because of it. I very much enjoy your channel and still learn much from you. Stay warm and healthy this new year ! Grandma from Texas

    Thank you for foing this video, Ruth Ann! Your bread looks so good! I'm not new to bread-making, in fact, I used to make honey-whole wheat bread and sell it. I didn't make much from it, but it paid for a few extras. I used the very same method for raising the dough in my oven. I often would make 2 batches a day. Most times, I would put my loaves in the garage in winter, and bake in the morning. They almost always would rise a little out there, but if they needed more time, I would just leave them on the kitchen counter 30 minutes, and that was usually enough. I've done dinner rolls that way when I wanted freshly-baked rolls, too. Your advice about making white bread for (I think you said) 3-6 months before trying whole wheat is solid wisdom! I advise young gals to keep practicing. It's bound to improve over time. Never give up! Never, never, never give up!❤

    Homemade bread has been my nemesis for many years. Until this year, when I finally got a digital thermometer. I’ve found that if I diligently watch the temperature of my liquids and keep them in the proper range when adding yeast, it makes all the difference. High gluten flour or bread flour also helps. So if you’re trying this recipe and getting less than spectacular results, check liquid temperature before adding yeast, and keep it in the 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit range.

    Your tidbits of knowledge are so helpful regarding proofing etc…..younger me tried yeast bread making 30 plus yrs ago and failed every time so gave up trying….feeling bread making wasn’t something I was going to master I gave up trying.
    Now in my early 60’s and UA-cam videos Ive been back at making yeast type breads, rolls and cinnamon rolls ❤️ better late than ever to master something 😂

    Thank you RuthAnn! Lovely loaves!🙂
    It seems that making bread is as individual as making spaghetti sauce. Everyone does it a bit different. I enjoy picking up these little differences and trying them for myself! And yes, I think we've all hit those time management challenges. I even over-proofed it, reshaped it and proofed it a 3rd time and it was even better! A pleasant surprise! 😄
    Blessings always! 💜

    Your yeast bread recipe is the only one I use, unless I'm making your hamburger buns. Today I made a double batch. 2 loaves and 2 pans of rolls. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I make bread all the time except in the hot summer months. Because my parents were from Italy that’s all we had was homemade bread or anything else for that matter 😁 I so enjoy your videos. Thank you.

    These look fabulous RuthAnn! Regarding a sluggish sourdough starter-I have found my starter prefers a higher ratio feed when coming out of the fridge, something around 1:3:3 starter to flour to water. If it still is sluggish, a feed of whole wheat or rye flour really perks her up!

    It’s 1-16. I tried your bread recipe yesterday. It turned out just like yours in the video. I never heard of checking the internal temp but I had to bake it longer to get it up to temp. No holes, no gummy spots!

    I have been struggling so much with sandwich bread. It always dries out and gets crumbly so fast. I am pretty good with sourdough already so I make a lot of that, but I’m printing out your recipe to try it! Looking forward to it!

    Love this video and really love your channel. After watching this video, I printed off the directions and got busy. As a recommendation, particularly as you write your cookbook, please consider adding to this recipe about using milk or other options you mention in your video. I had forgotten that you mentioned them in your video and prepared the dough exactly as written. Just a thought as a way to enhance your awesome recipes. Thanks again! I baked my first ever 2 loaves of bread. So yummy!

    I made this yesterday. I got distracted, put half cup water, not cup and a half. Kneaded in my kitchenAid mixer, dough was solid and hanging on hook when I remembered the water shortage. Instead of starting over, I added a cup warm water mixed with half cup flour. It took a good 10+ minutes to breakdown the dough and mix. I think I added another quarter cup flour..then let sit, while I debated throwing away and starting over. As I was about to toss, I noticed it stretched like in your video. I decided what the heck, let it rise, then divided it into two loaves, it did rise again. Baked and was fine. So shocked. Hubby and son wondered what I was worried about. 😂 I’m making it again today, without seeing a squirrel to see how it should be. Thank you for this recipe!!
    Made it again…more distractions. Both times this bread has came out beautiful and tasty. Family n friends both love it.

    Do you make sweet potato dinner rolls? I bought some from a farm stand and they were delicious. I’d love for you to show how to make these! 💕
