Ms Rose!! My Mom said, you’ve created a monster!! Seriously within past six weeks, I’ve gone through at least 10 bags of flour. Started with biscuits, was hell bent on making cinnamon rolls (mine ended up being weapons of mass destruction) only to decide if I could make a good bread first, I could make a cinnamon roll next!! Recently had a huge loss in my life and baking has now started to fill the “hole in my soul!” Thank you for helping us.

The use of an instant thermometer was a game changer for my bread making, I consider them an excellent investment for under $20. Of course if finances are tight we can learn how to judge done-ness other ways. I also use King Arthur, and recently discovered a brand made in Montana. I like the idea of supporting smaller mills.
@@RoseRedHomestead What should the temperature of bread be when checking with a thermometer? You probably said but I must have missed it. Thank you,,,,Love your videos!
Even though i have been making bread a lotta years, i will still watch this series cause you can never learn too much. And besides i enjoy all your videos. Thank you Pam and Jim PS, my bread pans are really old...older then me, Some were my Gramas and some were my Mums. I love them and even those they are ugly...i will keep using them
Lyn smith, I also have a couple of bake ware pieces from my Grannie, it warms my heart to use them. And I bought nice new cookie sheets a year ago, they get stained or rather grease baked onto them very quickly. I also am a long time bread baker, but there is always more to learn. 💕
I have watched hundreds of instructional videos over the years on many cooking topics but I have to say yours are the best! You explain so well the principles involved in the recipes and ingredients. So many levels of learning are demonstrated in each one! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
I've used King Arthur flour for over 30 years. Being in New England, it's our "local" brand of flour :). I don't dissolve active dry yeast in water before using it. I always add the yeast to my flour, they I add the liquid. I haven't had a bread failure in a very long time. I buy my yeast in my local big box warehouse store. I keep a jar in the refrigerator for use. I store the rest of the yeast in a jar in my non defrosting freezer. I've never had problems with old yeast. I guess that I've been lucky, or I use it up before it goes bad. One of my favorite ways to make bread is using the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a day method. With this method, you make a very wet dough in a bucket that you keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You simply take out a grapefruit sized hunk and let is sit out for up to 90 minutes before baking on a pizza stone. This makes fantastic bread.
Thank you so much, and you nailed it! Yes, I am a professor--I teach, or rather used to teach science education. Now I am an administrator, but my heart is in teaching! Thanks for watching.

Wow Pam, you are such an awesome educator. I love how you take the to explain the science behind why you do what you do, not just throw a recipe to us. I am going to enjoy this series :)
I love making bread of all kinds: loaves, dinner rolls, tortillas, etc. Depending on what bread I want as my end result, I use active dry yeast (which I "proof"), instant or quick yeast or sourdough starter (which I've made myself as the leavening. Making bread is so much fun, when my children were at home I made bread at least once a day which included quick breads such as biscuits, cornbread or tortillas. I'm so happy to see so many people are now interested in making breads.
Thank you so much for your video. my father taught me how to make bread when I was 12 yrs old. When I was 14 He bought a restaurant. and at that age on, I made 27 loaves every other day by hand in one huge pan without a mixer. A lot of work for a young girl who never stopped working, cooking, washing dishes and also waiting on customers. I'd like to know why you don't use milk in your bread. Wouldn't it taste better. Back then we had to scald milk. I know you don't have to do that today. I am 78 yrs old now and still baking bread.
You are truly an artist in bread making! Your knowledge astounds me, no matter what your doing. Thank you, I’ve learned so much. I made bread in my early 20’s but that was almost 50 years ago so I really appreciate you!
This popped up for me to watch and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you Pam! After watching this when you first published I decided to start baking my own bread. I wasn't great at first but with practice and watching all your bread videos and a few others I got better. Today I store a year's worth of ingredients and bake all the bread we consume in our home. My bread is beautiful, as good as anything I could buy from an artisan bakery and we feel very food secure. I'm so very, very grateful for the efforts both you and Jim have made to help us all Thank you, from the far north of England 💓
Gosh, I’m learning so much. I’m learning everything my gran would’ve taught me if she were still alive. Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve learned canning, bread making, long term food prepping, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Such a wonderful video. I must tell you, I think we had the same teacher. Mine was my grandmother! So much of what you showed was exactly how I was taught. Like you, I’ve been baking bread for at least 60 years and can’t image why more people do no it do it. To me it’s therapy. Certainly a lot less cost and so much more rewarding!
Pam, I loved this video, took notes and even though I have been baking bread for years, you taught me several new things. The big tip was the water temperature. I always was in the 110-115 degree range, but now I know to lower the temperature, why, what for and how to check your wrist. The caterpillar was a neat little trick, and I felt I saw the result of you doing that in the video. Thirdly, the ease in which you combined your ingredients in one bowl with a wooden spoon, makes this bread a true bread for when the stuff hits the fan, or we have an event of some kind. Thank you for showing us your bread baking. I loved the video. Tell your husband he’s right. A fresh marshmallow is a great comparison to the feel of the dough!
You are an amazing teacher and a beautiful lady. I feel so blessed to have found your channel. You've saved my tomato plants and now I can make bread ... all because of you. Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you Pam, for this recipe. I made it today and it made two very tall loaves of bread. The bread was delicious and the crumb was beautiful and the bread was light and fluffy. Thank you for the recipe. This one is a keeper! You are so sweet to share all your wisdom. Know that we in “video land” appreciate what you and your husband do.
I find when my loaves are tough or dry, I usually added too much flour. I find the dough needs to be just slightly tacky, not sticking to my hands, but when you touch the dough it fees tacky. Just my two cents after baking break for over 30 years. And thank you for your channel. I have learned so much.
I followed your instructions and made perfect bread! I bought a kitchen aid mixer and several bread machines trying to make perfect bread. All it took was a bowl and a wooden spoon. You did a great job on clear instructions. Thank you
That’s what I did. I rewatched the video and took notes. This allowed me to prepare my ingredients ahead of time and rewatched her video following along. I had so many bubbles, and just kept degassing. I was able to pause and restart in order to do each step along with Pam. I wasn’t great on the pinching part, but I remembered her saying it will still taste good. I was so pleased when I turned out my bread and it looked beautiful and smelled delicious. It wasn’t until I sliced it that I saw how well I did. I had my bread for supper with butter. I’ll be going to bed with half a loaf left for Wednesday-7-13-2022. Tyvm Rose Red❤️💕❤️
Watching your videos reminds me of my mom. My mom started teaching me how to sew when I was 8 yrs old. She was very patient and thorough, and went through great details so I would understand what I was doing. By the time I was in 7th grade and took home economics, the teacher was so impressed with my techniques that she called my mom to ask her for help on her own knowledge.. my mom got quite a chuckle over that..
I’m 75 years old and baking my first bread thanks to your excellent video! Thank you, Rose, so much for all your informative videos - my husband and I both enjoy them very much!
It was meant to be that I came across this video. My sister recently asked me to teach her how to make bread. I have made bread for years but you still taught me so much especially the technical reasons for why we do the things we do when making bread.
I’m on my 3rd batch, getting ready to do part 4 less yeast. Thank you Rose 🌹 Red and the trusty cameraman in sharing your techniques and tips. In this Part 1 Bread, it has made the world of difference for good results every time! So appreciative.
I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos in this series. I have been baking bread for decades and as I get older I appreciate re-visiting the easier loaves and procedures. You are such an excellent teacher - so much information and so thorough. Thank you so much for all you do for us!
Let me just say, right out of the gate, me and yeast do not get along. I'm so glad to have found your channel! You are very informative in each and every one of them, which has made me try and tackle my enemy, yeast! Fingers crossed all goes well since it's a rainy day I plan on serving stew tonight and with luck, homemade bread! God bless and keep you safe!
You are a genius. Not only am I learning to can and pickle I just followed this bread recipe and did it exactly the same way and I had cooked my first successful loaf of bread. 1367 failures and 1 success. I am so glad I found you!
Hi does any one know if you can decrease the sugar. I have a border diabetic in my family and want to make them some of this wonderful bread. Could I halve the sugar?
Thank you for posting your videos. You show logical ways to access and address tough or even scarier situations. The explainlations of the rational behind why you do certain things is easy to follow and understand. Thank you for teaching us life skills. ❤
I am enjoying being in your kitchen with you! Your videos are so comprehensive and instructional, delivered as though we are old friends. I am new to baking bread from scratch and your videos are such an asset. Thanks so much for the time and energy you put in (and thanks Jim for being a great camera man!)
Shelley: Thank you so much! I like your suggestion that our videos are delivered in an engaging and "old friends" conversational format versus a lecture. Jim
My Grandma was my teacher for years for all things in the kitchen. We lost her to cancer 5yrs ago and I miss being able to call her up with cooking/baking/canning questions. I found your channel about a month ago, and am so grateful for you. You're my internet Grandma now.❤
I wish I could send a photo of my first time attempt at making bread (always thought that was for the bakery gifted) 😂 I am sooo happy with the way they turned out! Thank you so much for your tutorial - I couldn’t have achieved this result without your video Sharon From Australia
Absolutely the best video on UA-cam for homemade bread baking! I am sooo happy I found your video's! I have gained bits and pieces of how-to's by friends and family through-out the years but never have I had such an amazing teacher( you) with such knowledge and experience!! You have changed my mind about my abilities to make home made breads and because of you, I no longer have the mindset of...I can't do it...but rather , now I am excited to try! Thank you so much a have a blessed day ~
Thank you for making bread and for making sense. I've experienced those nuances over the past year. Making bread is definitely an art that I'm still learning to master. Thanks again.🍞🧀
Thanks so much for the video! This is extremely helpful as I learn to bake bread. I love that you show (what you call) mistakes or not perfect. Since new bakers run across these issues, it is a huge help to know how to correct or even that it's not going to matter. THANK YOU!
I did it!🤗 I made bread from scratch! Not perfect but edible and I can only get better🥰 I feel super confident doing this again🥳 thank you so much..great content in times such as these. Good luck everyone ❤️❤️❤️ how do we do this with no power🤷🏾♀️
In the 1900's stoves and ovens existed and everything was cooked to perfection using wood to heat the stove and the oven...So don't worry. Just a little more time consuming but the food was prepared great and of course not forgetting the delicious meals and bread!!!If it ever happens, we must adapt. Back to stoves heated with wooden logs! Something old and something new!😅😅😅 😅😅🎉🎉
I always wondered how my Aunt Victoria got the HUGE iron stove/oven got into her house. She was still cooking on it for decades after gas & electric stoves were being used. As a teenager, I was SO impressed.
Thank you Ms. Rose. I’ve been trying to learn to make homemade bread. I “thought” that it would be easy, I was wrong. I spent HOURS watching videos on UA-cam, but the more I watched the more confused I became…… till today. You are an excellent teacher! What I like most about your videos is how clear you are, and how you relate the various parts of the bread-making process. I was ready to give up, but then I caught the “Part 1” of the Basics and you clarified so many things.
Key thing, use 2 of the same colored type pans when cooking bread! Love that ❤👍👍 I also found out that if you mix the dough in a metal bowl It can cause the dough to not rise as much. And it's best to avoid any metal utensil or bowls when making them. Something about the metal interacting with the yeast and ingredients not letting it rise well. When I 1st found that out I was surprised and even tested it out and it's true, it does not rise as high as using glass or a plastic bowl. I like using glass bowls. Because wood ones can absorb The moisture from the dough and it holds more bacteria in the wood overtime. Kind of like the one shot wonder saying, don't chop your veggies where you chopped your raw meat. Because of cross contamination of bacteria or possible boutilism. Then there is Sadly the plastic bowls.... don't want chemicals leaching or infertility issues in people. That leaves me with glass lol and I found out too much salt can cause lower rising because it kills off the yeast. Finding just the right amount works like a charm. I also found out that if I have any fruits or veggies in a grocery bag they start rotting quicker. Even if its open. There is Is some form of bad bacteria in plastic grocery bags. Please be careful. You can use a warm watered lightly damp flour cloth or cheese cloth or even damp paper towels to help it rise quicker. I avoid plastic as often as I can. And I know some people use it for rising doughs.
Very informative video. Your description of yeast and what it does had me in stitches. You feed it and it gets gas, kind of like us. Love baking bread!
I swear... this is the best, honest,, sincere and most dedicated video I've ever seen.... you take every trouble to show every little detail for the bigginers as well as the regular bakers to learn what's wanted and unwanted... you are so unselfish and your attempts show that you are really sympathetic,, kind and interested to teach everyone,who ever it is to follow the exactly correct methods..... love you so much ❤️.... GOD REALLY BLESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU..... Thanks so much darling teacher ❤❤❤❤ I'm from SRI LANKA
I made this recipe and I now will have to make it forever.. I absolutely love it and will not be buying store bought bread again! Thank you so much for the recipe and all the information that came with it! I love all your videos by the way, so informative!
This channel is amazing! Thank you so much. I am just a guy who is interested in learning some things to help sustain my family in good times and bad. Don't be hard on yourself trying to make things perfect. The things you do are wonderful and really educational. You, dear lady, are exactly what this country needs to make it better, one imperfect, delicious loaf at a time. Thanks so much for your time and efforts.
Thank you so much for all your hard work on doing this video. I really appreciate it. I’ve only made a few times and they’ve been ok but I know I can do better and you gave some great tips that I can use. Have a great week!
I can't tell you how very much I appreciate your detailed explanations. I love your teaching videos more than you will ever know. I cling to every word. Julie
What a great video. I think this should put a lot of people, beginners in particular at ease as far as wanting to get right in and tackle making there own bread. How exciting. Would love to see the different expressions 😆 😁😃😙🥰 Thank you and can't wait for part 2 👏
You're a very good teacher, and I hope to make bread soon using your recipe. I'm wondering how to store the loaf if it can't be eaten in the next few days.
Fresh bread without any preservatives like these loaves will last about 4 days out on the counter before the mold gets them here where we live. We store the one we currently use in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. We put the other one in a plastic bag in the freezer where it will keep for weeks until we are ready to use it. Great question! Thanks.
I have found that adding 2 or 3 tbsp of oil, any oil, will not change the substance of the bread but will keep it from growing mold, and taste fresh for much longer. Up to a week. And bread will keep better frozen than in the fridge. It'll then thaw directly on the counter within 12 hours, as long as it's been put in a plastic bag after cooling completely.
A tip on buying a loaf pan: avoid the ones that are "folded" at the ends (like the shiny silver pan) if you are going to use them for meatloaf, too. The juices & fat seep through the folds and are nasty to wash up thoroughly. Modern pans tend to be made by stamping a sheet into the loaf shape & have no folds in the pan. They are much easier to clean.
I just retired and now I have time to start doing things at home while my wife is still working. Now that she's out of the house and I have the kitchen to myself, (When she's home she hate me being in the kitchen mucking around). But she likes it when I make something for dinner while she's at work, and don't have to witness the destruction of the kitchen in the process. As long as the mess is cleaned up before she gets home, I'm golden. I'm learning how to make bread, All the videos on the internet show mixing the ingredients together, cooking for a time, and pop stuff out of the oven. No one ever explained the process or what to look for at each step. Your video was very detailed, thank you for taking the time and explaining everything to us. I needed that deep down to the basics instruction/expiation.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something. It is good to know the why’s behind the outcome it makes us better bakers. Are you going to do a sour dough video?
I have done a series of videos on artisan bread that includes sourdough or levain. You can view those by selecting the Artisan Bread playlist on our channel. At some point I will do a video in this series on a more traditional sourdough bread. Thanks for your question and for watching!
Rose, I just want to thank you. What a wonderful teacher you are. Have been trying to learn bread baking for months, with no success until I watched this video. After 3 tries, I finally got the loaves to rise and I am so happy. You have a gift and I cannot thank you enough. Love watching your videos, what a special lady you are. ♥
I have made bread for a few years. I follow a recipe and bread turns out great. I use yeast because the recipe calls for it. I love your description of the yeast. It helps me understand yeast better. That allows me to know what yeast to use and why. You guys are AWESOME! thank you
Watched this video several times before I tried to bake bread. Finally did it today. It came out so good!!! Thank you for excellent instructions as always.
I have made several fails on the bread, but also lots success as well. My daughter told me yesterday she would be needing my bread on a regular basis lol. Thank you so very much for teaching me. Greatfull for you.
Almost 68 y/o, never baked bread and don't remember ever eating home baked bread. Using your recipe, methods and suggestions, I made two loaves last night. The pans slid into a couple plastic bread bags I had, for the second proof. I was surprised how well it all went, and have to say the hardest part was the cleanup. Thanks for this, Pam and Jim. I'll be thinking of you two every time I bake bread, now.
I don’t comment much, however I’m compelled to drop down to say Thank You… truly… for taking your time to bless others, prepare others, and concern yourself. God put you on this earth to teach. Everyone can’t teach. I know!!! I graduated from LSU… TWICE. I had plenty well meaning instructors who babbled for hours. You, however, are a teacher. I have never been successful making bread.. I have tried. I’m listening to you intently. Thanks again. I feel like once I finish this tutorial with you, if I still screw it up, then I know it’s operator head space…
@RoseRed Homestead - I have watched sooo many bread making videos for beginners and yours is by far the best. I can do this :). I am 59 and was raised in a childrens home so I never learned. I am tickled that I don't have to depend on a bread maker. I loved this video. Thank you so much :)
OMG I just pulled my first two loaves out of the oven, and they look fabulous!! I can't wait for them to cool a little, so that I can slice into one :) Thank you so much for this comprehensive video!!
I feel like I'm sitting in my Home Ec class and actually paying attention to the teacher for the first time. THANK YOU! Such great info here! :)

Gosh, I’m learning so much. I’m learning everything my gran would’ve taught me if she were still alive. Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve learned canning, bread making, long term food prepping, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Perfection: You are so welcome! Jim
I can hardly wait for part 2!!!!! Again, I just Love the way in which you teach!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Such a wonderful video. I must tell you, I think we had the same teacher. Mine was my grandmother! So much of what you showed was exactly how I was taught. Like you, I’ve been baking bread for at least 60 years and can’t image why more people do no it do it. To me it’s therapy. Certainly a lot less cost and so much more rewarding!
Pam, I loved this video, took notes and even though I have been baking bread for years, you taught me several new things. The big tip was the water temperature. I always was in the 110-115 degree range, but now I know to lower the temperature, why, what for and how to check your wrist. The caterpillar was a neat little trick, and I felt I saw the result of you doing that in the video. Thirdly, the ease in which you combined your ingredients in one bowl with a wooden spoon, makes this bread a true bread for when the stuff hits the fan, or we have an event of some kind. Thank you for showing us your bread baking. I loved the video. Tell your husband he’s right. A fresh marshmallow is a great comparison to the feel of the dough!
Thank you! I will tell Jim--he will love it!
This is university-level instruction. Believe I am receiving "free college" with every video. Your basic bread course is fabulous. Thank you.
You are an amazing teacher and a beautiful lady. I feel so blessed to have found your channel. You've saved my tomato plants and now I can make bread ... all because of you. Thank you so much! ❤️
Wow, thank you! So glad you are finding our videos useful!
Thank you Pam, for this recipe. I made it today and it made two very tall loaves of bread. The bread was delicious and the crumb was beautiful and the bread was light and fluffy. Thank you for the recipe. This one is a keeper! You are so sweet to share all your wisdom. Know that we in “video land” appreciate what you and your husband do.
I find when my loaves are tough or dry, I usually added too much flour. I find the dough needs to be just slightly tacky, not sticking to my hands, but when you touch the dough it fees tacky. Just my two cents after baking break for over 30 years. And thank you for your channel. I have learned so much.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
I followed your instructions and made perfect bread! I bought a kitchen aid mixer and several bread machines trying to make perfect bread. All it took was a bowl and a wooden spoon. You did a great job on clear instructions. Thank you
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing that!
I love this bread-making video. I'm going to make the 2 loaves before part 2 comes out. Thank you so much. Your loaves look wonderful!
Thank you. You will be successful!!!!
That’s what I did. I rewatched the video and took notes. This allowed me to prepare my ingredients ahead of time and rewatched her video following along. I had so many bubbles, and just kept degassing. I was able to pause and restart in order to do each step along with Pam. I wasn’t great on the pinching part, but I remembered her saying it will still taste good. I was so pleased when I turned out my bread and it looked beautiful and smelled delicious. It wasn’t until I sliced it that I saw how well I did. I had my bread for supper with butter. I’ll be going to bed with half a loaf left for Wednesday-7-13-2022.
Tyvm Rose Red❤️💕❤️
You are by far the best teacher on the internet! All of your videos are loaded with wonderful lessons! THANK YOU!
Watching your videos reminds me of my mom. My mom started teaching me how to sew when I was 8 yrs old. She was very patient and thorough, and went through great details so I would understand what I was doing. By the time I was in 7th grade and took home economics, the teacher was so impressed with my techniques that she called my mom to ask her for help on her own knowledge.. my mom got quite a chuckle over that..
Love that! Thanks.
I’m 75 years old and baking my first bread thanks to your excellent video! Thank you, Rose, so much for all your informative videos - my husband and I both enjoy them very much!
We are happy that both you are getting so much out of our videos. Jim
It was meant to be that I came across this video. My sister recently asked me to teach her how to make bread. I have made bread for years but you still taught me so much especially the technical reasons for why we do the things we do when making bread.
YOU are the bestest bread maker Lady in whole wide world! THANK YOU.
Wow, thank you!
I’m on my 3rd batch, getting ready to do part 4 less yeast. Thank you Rose 🌹 Red and the trusty cameraman in sharing your techniques and tips. In this Part 1 Bread, it has made the world of difference for good results every time! So appreciative.
I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos in this series. I have been baking bread for decades and as I get older I appreciate re-visiting the easier loaves and procedures. You are such an excellent teacher - so much information and so thorough. Thank you so much for all you do for us!
Tabbichat: Thank you for watching our channel. Jim
I LOVE the way/method you use to teach!!!!!
Thank you so much!
The most technically correct video on bread I've ever seen. congratulations !
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that.
Let me just say, right out of the gate, me and yeast do not get along. I'm so glad to have found your channel! You are very informative in each and every one of them, which has made me try and tackle my enemy, yeast! Fingers crossed all goes well since it's a rainy day I plan on serving stew tonight and with luck, homemade bread! God bless and keep you safe!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing and I hope you triumphed over the enemy and have a delicious loaf of homemade bread!
You are a genius. Not only am I learning to can and pickle I just followed this bread recipe and did it exactly the same way and I had cooked my first successful loaf of bread. 1367 failures and 1 success. I am so glad I found you!
Erica: Congratulations on your success. We too, are happy that you found our channel! Jim
Hi does any one know if you can decrease the sugar. I have a border diabetic in my family and want to make them some of this wonderful bread. Could I halve the sugar?
Thank you for posting your videos. You show logical ways to access and address tough or even scarier situations. The explainlations of the rational behind why you do certain things is easy to follow and understand. Thank you for teaching us life skills. ❤
You're very welcome--thank yuou.
Tried bread for the first time, and followed your instructions to the tee, and came out perfect. I now want to make more. Thank you
I am enjoying being in your kitchen with you! Your videos are so comprehensive and instructional, delivered as though we are old friends. I am new to baking bread from scratch and your videos are such an asset. Thanks so much for the time and energy you put in (and thanks Jim for being a great camera man!)
Shelley: Thank you so much! I like your suggestion that our videos are delivered in an engaging and "old friends" conversational format versus a lecture. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead when would you suggest to put in the oil?
My Grandma was my teacher for years for all things in the kitchen. We lost her to cancer 5yrs ago and I miss being able to call her up with cooking/baking/canning questions. I found your channel about a month ago, and am so grateful for you. You're my internet Grandma now.❤
Kristine: That is so kind of you. Jim
I am honored to take on that role for you! Thank you for your comment.
I wish I could send a photo of my first time attempt at making bread (always thought that was for the bakery gifted) 😂
I am sooo happy with the way they turned out!
Thank you so much for your tutorial - I couldn’t have achieved this result without your video

Sharon--that is fantastic! Congratulations.
Rose is so smart, she should be running for POTUS :) Excellent video.
Pam says, "Thank you very much, but no thanks!" We appreciate you watching our videos. Jim
Absolutely the best video on UA-cam for homemade bread baking! I am sooo happy I found your video's! I have gained bits and pieces of how-to's by friends and family through-out the years but never have I had such an amazing teacher( you) with such knowledge and experience!! You have changed my mind about my abilities to make home made breads and because of you, I no longer have the mindset of...I can't do it...but rather , now I am excited to try! Thank you so much a have a blessed day ~
I REALLY appreciate the in depth explanation of yeast!
Thank you for making bread and for making sense. I've experienced those nuances over the past year. Making bread is definitely an art that I'm still learning to master. Thanks again.🍞🧀
You are so welcome! You describe bread making very well! It is an art.
You are such a good teacher. I would love to have you next door. I am 72 an still learning so much from you!
Thanks so much for the video! This is extremely helpful as I learn to bake bread. I love that you show (what you call) mistakes or not perfect. Since new bakers run across these issues, it is a huge help to know how to correct or even that it's not going to matter. THANK YOU!
You are so welcome! So glad it was helpful.
The two finished loaves are gorgeous and look so delicious. Well, I'm gonna give it a try over the next two weeks. Wish me luck. Lol 🙂🌻
You can do it!
Borrowing a line from the original "Mission Impossible" series: "I won't wish you luck; instead I'll wish you skill..."
Blessing!😊
Smartest lady making bread on UA-cam. Excellent.
I did it!🤗 I made bread from scratch! Not perfect but edible and I can only get better🥰 I feel super confident doing this again🥳 thank you so much..great content in times such as these. Good luck everyone ❤️❤️❤️ how do we do this with no power🤷🏾♀️
I'm 80 years old and have made many breads. Your recipe is so good. No guess work thanks
In the 1900's stoves and ovens existed and everything was cooked to perfection using wood to heat the stove and the oven...So don't worry. Just a little more time consuming but the food was prepared great and of course not forgetting the delicious meals and bread!!!If it ever happens, we must adapt. Back to stoves heated with wooden logs! Something old and something new!😅😅😅 😅😅🎉🎉
I always wondered how my Aunt Victoria got the HUGE iron stove/oven got into her house. She was still cooking on it for decades after gas & electric stoves were being used. As a teenager, I was SO impressed.
Thank you Ms. Rose. I’ve been trying to learn to make homemade bread. I “thought” that it would be easy, I was wrong. I spent HOURS watching videos on UA-cam, but the more I watched the more confused I became…… till today. You are an excellent teacher! What I like most about your videos is how clear you are, and how you relate the various parts of the bread-making process. I was ready to give up, but then I caught the “Part 1” of the Basics and you clarified so many things.
Wonderful video!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us and thanks to Jim for filming. Can’t wait until the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comments.
Experience is the best teacher! The more unstable our food supplies, the more we need this recipe.
Key thing, use 2 of the same colored type pans when cooking bread! Love that ❤👍👍 I also found out that if you mix the dough in a metal bowl It can cause the dough to not rise as much. And it's best to avoid any metal utensil or bowls when making them. Something about the metal interacting with the yeast and ingredients not letting it rise well. When I 1st found that out I was surprised and even tested it out and it's true, it does not rise as high as using glass or a plastic bowl. I like using glass bowls. Because wood ones can absorb The moisture from the dough and it holds more bacteria in the wood overtime. Kind of like the one shot wonder saying, don't chop your veggies where you chopped your raw meat. Because of cross contamination of bacteria or possible boutilism. Then there is Sadly the plastic bowls.... don't want chemicals leaching or infertility issues in people. That leaves me with glass lol and I found out too much salt can cause lower rising because it kills off the yeast. Finding just the right amount works like a charm.
I also found out that if I have any fruits or veggies in a grocery bag they start rotting quicker. Even if its open. There is Is some form of bad bacteria in plastic grocery bags. Please be careful. You can use a warm watered lightly damp flour cloth or cheese cloth or even damp paper towels to help it rise quicker. I avoid plastic as often as I can. And I know some people use it for rising doughs.
I love your breadside manner! Excellent teacher!
Very informative video. Your description of yeast and what it does had me in stitches. You feed it and it gets gas, kind of like us. Love baking bread!
Exactly! Thanks for noticing!
I swear... this is the best, honest,, sincere and most dedicated video I've ever seen.... you take every trouble to show every little detail for the bigginers as well as the regular bakers to learn what's wanted and unwanted... you are so unselfish and your attempts show that you are really sympathetic,, kind and interested to teach everyone,who ever it is to follow the exactly correct methods..... love you so much ❤️....
GOD REALLY BLESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU..... Thanks so much darling teacher ❤❤❤❤ I'm from SRI LANKA
What a great lesson! Think I'll give breadmaking a go again. Thank you!
You are welcome. Let us know how you breadmaking venture goes.
I made this recipe and I now will have to make it forever.. I absolutely love it and will not be buying store bought bread again! Thank you so much for the recipe and all the information that came with it! I love all your videos by the way, so informative!
Oh and I will also be trying out the other bread recipes!
This is great! You really teach about everything. I am so glad I found your videos!
We are glad you found us as well!
I agree 100%
“Disruption has become the new norm” so much wisdom in this video. Thanks for the video!
Absolutely! Jim
Even though I am on a low-carb diet… “bread” is is high in NON-STARVATION! Now I just need to try this on my Firebox stove!
Thank you so much you freed me from tedious rituals of making bread.
I thank God that He led me to your channel
Certainly enjoyed watching and all the knowledge you shared! I love making bread and will certainly try your recipe! TFS
Please do! Thank you so much for watching.
Plus her husband, Jim does perfect steady footage of his beloved. We so appreciate you.
😮❤ I’ve watched scores of ‘how to make bread’ videos and this is by far THE best and most informative I have seen yet. Thank you so much !!
This channel is amazing! Thank you so much. I am just a guy who is interested in learning some things to help sustain my family in good times and bad. Don't be hard on yourself trying to make things perfect. The things you do are wonderful and really educational. You, dear lady, are exactly what this country needs to make it better, one imperfect, delicious loaf at a time. Thanks so much for your time and efforts.
What amazing instructions ( as always) but this went above and beyond.. applause and cant wait for the 2nd part
Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed it.
I have tried for years to make good bread. Finally, after following your instructions, I had success!
Thank you so much for all your hard work on doing this video. I really appreciate it. I’ve only made a few times and they’ve been ok but I know I can do better and you gave some great tips that I can use. Have a great week!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I can't tell you how very much I appreciate your detailed explanations. I love your teaching videos more than you will ever know. I cling to every word. Julie
What a great video. I think this should put a lot of people, beginners in particular at ease as far as wanting to get right in and tackle making there own bread. How exciting. Would love to see the different expressions 😆 😁😃😙🥰
Thank you and can't wait for part 2 👏
I hope you are right! Thank you!
Your mom sounds like a remarkable woman... I love when you share the methods she taught you. Timeless. Thank you!
Victoria: You are so welcome! Pam will love to read this. Jim
Yes, she was a remarkable woman and Jim is right, I loved reading your comment. Thank you!
You're a very good teacher, and I hope to make bread soon using your recipe. I'm wondering how to store the loaf if it can't be eaten in the next few days.
Fresh bread without any preservatives like these loaves will last about 4 days out on the counter before the mold gets them here where we live. We store the one we currently use in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. We put the other one in a plastic bag in the freezer where it will keep for weeks until we are ready to use it. Great question! Thanks.
I have found that adding 2 or 3 tbsp of oil, any oil, will not change the substance of the bread but will keep it from growing mold, and taste fresh for much longer. Up to a week.
And bread will keep better frozen than in the fridge. It'll then thaw directly on the counter within 12 hours, as long as it's been put in a plastic bag after cooling completely.
Freezer, honey.
Bread 101 ...you're awesome! Thank you for the invaluable lesson!
A tip on buying a loaf pan: avoid the ones that are "folded" at the ends (like the shiny silver pan) if you are going to use them for meatloaf, too. The juices & fat seep through the folds and are nasty to wash up thoroughly. Modern pans tend to be made by stamping a sheet into the loaf shape & have no folds in the pan. They are much easier to clean.
I just retired and now I have time to start doing things at home while my wife is still working. Now that she's out of the house and I have the kitchen to myself, (When she's home she hate me being in the kitchen mucking around). But she likes it when I make something for dinner while she's at work, and don't have to witness the destruction of the kitchen in the process. As long as the mess is cleaned up before she gets home, I'm golden.
I'm learning how to make bread, All the videos on the internet show mixing the ingredients together, cooking for a time, and pop stuff out of the oven. No one ever explained the process or what to look for at each step. Your video was very detailed, thank you for taking the time and explaining everything to us. I needed that deep down to the basics instruction/expiation.
Thanks for your comments. Yes, we like to provide as much detail as possible so viewers can successfully make the bread or soup, or chili.... Jim
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something. It is good to know the why’s behind the outcome it makes us better bakers. Are you going to do a sour dough video?
I have done a series of videos on artisan bread that includes sourdough or levain. You can view those by selecting the Artisan Bread playlist on our channel. At some point I will do a video in this series on a more traditional sourdough bread. Thanks for your question and for watching!
I am not sure if you ever were a teacher at schools but you are a natural! Thank you so much!
The best bread Ive ever made was baked in my cast iron dutch oven.
Rose, I just want to thank you. What a wonderful teacher you are. Have been trying to learn bread baking for months, with no success until I watched this video. After 3 tries, I finally got the loaves to rise and I am so happy. You have a gift and I cannot thank you enough. Love watching your videos, what a special lady you are. ♥
As someone who is visually impaired I really appreciate your descriptions of what the dough is supposed to feel like.
I love how you explain the reasons why you do what you do!
Made it and it was fabulous. My first ever
I sure appreciate this video. I’m currently baking bread! Thank you ❤
I have made bread for a few years. I follow a recipe and bread turns out great. I use yeast because the recipe calls for it. I love your description of the yeast. It helps me understand yeast better. That allows me to know what yeast to use and why. You guys are AWESOME! thank you
Watched this video several times before I tried to bake bread. Finally did it today. It came out so good!!! Thank you for excellent instructions as always.
I have made several fails on the bread, but also lots success as well. My daughter told me yesterday she would be needing my bread on a regular basis lol. Thank you so very much for teaching me. Greatfull for you.
Almost 68 y/o, never baked bread and don't remember ever eating home baked bread. Using your recipe, methods and suggestions, I made two loaves last night. The pans slid into a couple plastic bread bags I had, for the second proof. I was surprised how well it all went, and have to say the hardest part was the cleanup. Thanks for this, Pam and Jim. I'll be thinking of you two every time I bake bread, now.
Watching again! Thank you so much for everything ❤️
Just saw this video for the first time, I learned so much on how to handle and prepare the dough for baking. Thank you, thank you, thank you !
Good job Ms. Rose. I watched my grandmother as a child and as a great grandmother, I want to pass this skill alone.😍
We agree, we need to pass the information on to our family members. Jim
I don’t comment much, however I’m compelled to drop down to say Thank You… truly… for taking your time to bless others, prepare others, and concern yourself. God put you on this earth to teach. Everyone can’t teach. I know!!! I graduated from LSU… TWICE. I had plenty well meaning instructors who babbled for hours. You, however, are a teacher. I have never been successful making bread.. I have tried. I’m listening to you intently. Thanks again. I feel like once I finish this tutorial with you, if I still screw it up, then I know it’s operator head space…
@RoseRed Homestead - I have watched sooo many bread making videos for beginners and yours is by far the best. I can do this :). I am 59 and was raised in a childrens home so I never learned. I am tickled that I don't have to depend on a bread maker. I loved this video. Thank you so much :)
Yes, self-sufficiency is on the rise.
So appreciate you going over the equipment!!! Very helpful!!!
OMG I just pulled my first two loaves out of the oven, and they look fabulous!! I can't wait for them to cool a little, so that I can slice into one :) Thank you so much for this comprehensive video!!
