Looks great :). One small tip: shower caps from Dollar Tree do a great job of covering the bowl for proofing and are easier than wrestling plastic wrap! Thanks for all the great videos Brooke!
You can also get the bowl covers over by the plastic wrap. Their is several covers in the box and they are assorted sizes. But the shower cap is a good idea.
I just found you on UA-cam and I can't stop watching. You are so down to earth, real. Most of us watching are just like you, trying to feed our family on a strict budget. Thank you
I figured out why I am so addicted to your channel. 1, I wanted to learn how to make bread just one time too you are for real there are no fakeness here. No way you are who you are and I’m the same way never change. God bless you are amazing.
I was 15 years old and had to raise my little sister and a niece and nephew. I experimented with a sourdough starter that I made with potato peels. I had a system back then. Over the years, I abandoned it because I was too busy. I have been trying to get back into it.
To make a loaf of bread spray your loaf pan then put 3 cups of self rising flour 3 tablespoons of sugar and 12 ounces of cheap beer (room temp). Mix will be sticky but put it in loaf pan and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Baking takes out alcohol cause beer is yeast. Just 3 ingredients. You can do it.
Brooke Southerland, I made this recipe into gluten-free bread. I followed your instructions to the T but used King Aurtur Gluten Free Measure For Measure Flour, and I put 1 TBS of Apple Cider Vinegar in with the wet ingredients. This is the best GF bread I've ever made. Just like you explained, it's nice and soft on the on the inside. Normally, the gluten-free bread gets very dense, but this has not. Thank you for your recipe... you've given me even more inspiration. 💕
I’m so happy to see you making bread. It’s so easy and so delicious. The more you make it the easier it gets. When you press out your rectangle that’s the time to sprinkle cinnamon and raisin to make cinnamon/raisin bread or make cinnamon rolls, just add a few more tablespoons of sugar to your recipe for a sweeter dough. The sky’s the limit. ❤😊 have fun.
I use a tip from Becky at The Hillbilly Kitchen that I really like. Bring a pot of boiling water to a boil and stick the pot in your cold oven with your bowl of dough. Proofs perfectly! I do this for both rises.
The color is PERFECT on those loaves! Too often people bake breads and pastries way too dark, which dries them out and causes them to be slightly bitter. Great job! I can't wait to try this recipe. 😊🍞🍞
I pay $1.49 for a one and half pound of sliced white or wheat bread. And when it is on sale for 99 cents, I buy 6 loaves and freeze them. Also, I will go to the bakery outlet to get bread items cheap, name brand items for $1.25 a loaf on any bread, donuts, tortillas, hand pies, baked goods you name it they have. I only go when I am driving in that area of town.
To do a cheap bread use 3 cups of self rising flour 3 tablespoons sugar and 12 ounces of cheap beer. Well be sticky but spray loaf pan bake 350 degree bake for 1 hour. Very good. Beer is the yeast.
I know this video is a month old but I just have to say I finally made this bread today and did everything you said to do and this bread is absolutely delicious! My husband, my mother and my son all loved it. I’m now going to make this bread every Sunday for the week. I’m going to experiment with adding some cinnamon swirls in one of the loafs as I roll it and add some raisins. So many possibilities. Thank you for this easy bread recipe, I appreciate it because I don’t like to bake that much.
Brooke!! You are a life saver. I tried making bread "3" times and failed miserably. I regained my confidence and followed your instructions. I made a beautiful loaf and 12 mini loafs with the dough. I added some of my sourdough starter to the recipe as well and did an egg wash. Thank you for all that you do for the collective. Many blessings to you :)
I started baking bread at about 12 or 13 my grandmother taught me. This seems like a recipe she had labeled quick easy fast bread Some one tore pages out or he recipe note book and so we lost some of her special ones. This seems like it. She called it her soft heart bread. By sharing with.us.I just want to say thank you and thank Dusty thank you for having soft loving hearts.firm fair incredible people. Hi to your young fellows. 😊
I have never made my own bread.....yeah! ...now I can. Thank you! Love 💕 from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.🙋👍🐦😋🏠😄🙏✝️😁🐾🇺🇸
Instead of using the electric mixer, I have one fork in each hand to mix both wet and dry ingredients together (moving my arms in circular motions). Easier cleanup for me. 😂 The proofing/preheating-oven time is the time to revisit the recipe/directions and cleaning the measurement cups/spoons, and putting away the ingredients.
It was a good time for a nap😂ur hilarious! I'm not a baker either but I'm tempted to make this. One less thing to buy from the store. Thank you Brooke❤
I made this and it turned out great! I don't have a mixer, so I mixed it with a wooden spoon first and then my hands, and I only used 2 tbsp of honey because that was all I had left! Also, I forgot the step about moistening the towel and just covered the pans with a dry towel. Despite all this, it sill turned out great! Thank you, Brooke!
Another way to do the bread is to pour the ingredients in your bread machine & have it mix & proof for you, then you can take it out & make rolls, hamburger buns, loaves or whatever. I’m Going to take your recipe and put it in my bread machine in a few minutes and give it a try! Looks delicious
@@SouthernFrugalMomma I got a brand new one still in the box for three dollars at an estate sale. Thrift shops have them all the time, just make sure it’s got the little paddle on the inside for mixing the dough. Sometimes those get lost. Great recipe
I made this bread today and, it came out lovely and fluffy and soft but, fool here added a tablespoon of salt instead of two teaspoons and it was incredibly salty. Definitely going to try again. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Brooke!!! You’re my hero! I too have tried my hand at homemade bread and it was always so dense. I made your recipe tonight and it is a winner!! I halved your recipe and made 1 loaf and it still worked perfectly! So easy! Thank you for all you share.
Brook, I've just put two loaves in the oven. I swapped out try ingredients, to make it cheaper... I used 1/2C sugar and substituted oil for the butter. Works out to $0.55AUD per loaf (rounded up)!
Our follow-up thoughts... 1) As Aussies, this Trevor was WAY to sweet for us. Too sweet to be a general sandwich loaf. I think I could cut the sugar by half and it would still be on the sweet side fur our pallets 🤫🫢 2) it was absolutely super soft! Gold Star fur you, Brook! 3) watch the loaf/s during that second proof after shaping! I let mine go a little too long and the top stuck to the cover which spoiled the shape and finish of the loaves.
I love this recipe. I started making back, you know, when. My problem is I can't let it cool. I'm into it with my soften butter as soon as it's out the oven 😊😊
Thanks, Brooke! Your bread looked wonderful. And the price is a bargain. You never cease to amaze me. Have a fantastic week and be blessed always, Brooke & Co.! xoxo
Our bread (store brand regular white) has doubled in price. It used to be $10/10...always. Now it's $1.99 unless you catch it on sale. Central Indiana area.
Definitely gonna have to try this because while I do love the crusty homemade stuff, sometimes you just want soft. On a funny note, I bought that exact same nightgown yesterday. Was with my boyfriend and went “it’s got mushrooms AND pockets” and he goes “yep it’s definitely you” 😂
OOOO Brooke!!! This is AWESOME bread!!! I baked two loaves this morning to take on a camping trip to learn to hunt gold nuggets with a metal detector. If I find a big one, I will name it "Brooke's Bread!!" I even expect my supremely picky husband to like it!! And I have baked many and many a loaf of bread in the last fifty years, so my opinion can be TRUSTED!! I am not only skilled and knowledgeable, but I am HUMBLE!!! :)
I just wanted to say You a so Freaking Awesome You are taking me back to the days when I was a child and helping me out more than you ever could know, I don’t have any one in my family anymore they have past & my mom was resent so with trying to remember everything mom mom (grandmother) & mom being gone. Which leaves me on my own except for my 2daughters (their married & have families)I was down with one of these Virus going around and I had to catch up with u for a weeks time in one night. You just remind me of my family which is from the South . I just want you to know that you are helping people out with everything you create. So just remember you are appreciated and loved ♥️for what you do. Take care may God Bless🙏 you and your family ✨♥️✨ Pamela 😊
Oh am making tjis and most certainly sharing this recipe. Have a friend that struggles with bread making. Love the tip. And the price is unbelievable. Thanks for this video
I watched this video earlier today and decided to bake this bread because I had all the ingredients. It’s GOOD! I added 1T of uncooked rolled oats to each loaf before the second rise and it’s the softest bread I’ve ever baked. It’s delicious. Even the yeast rose better than normal. LOL! Technically, it’s a quick bread, so keep this recipe around for the holidays. Thanks for another great recipe!🫶
I am so glad that I bought a 25# bag of bread flour at Sam's some time back. I, too, wonder how it is that some folks are hanging in there so to speak because I don't think I have actually bought a loaf of bread this year. Making it with your recipe is a very good idea, and adding a half cup or more of whole wheat flour is also a win. I have a bread machine and I set it up in the morning, and when I get home in the evening, we have fresh bread ready for dinner.
@@forhishonorandglory Well, I don't know how big your bread maker is, but for mine, I use three and two thirds cups of bread flour, or mix of bread and whole wheat, one/third cup of milk with 1 cup of warm water, , 2 tbs sugar, 1.5 tsp salt, 1.5 tsp yeast, 2 tbs oil, and an invocation to Ceres, goddess of grains. I set it to basic white setting, mash the button, and wait for the beeper to go off. Otherwise it is ready when I get back from work. You may want to cross check this recipe with the King Arthur bread machine recipe on line. Good luck.
When I worked at a preschool for the afternoon shift I didn’t get home until 6 most days(always a late parent to pick up) so I used my bread machine and crockpot almost every day and I wore out my first bread machine while working there. They sure made life easier for a working mom and I didn’t have to do any cooking after getting home from work. Some days I put a casserole in the fridge and left cooking instructions on the kitchen table for my oldest son and husband so they knew when to put it in the oven.
I love baking and cooking in my night gown as well! That's how you know you have a comfy home! I'm going to try this recipe and see if I can make some cinnamon rolls with it! Hope you have a great day! Carolina
Ill have to try this in my bread machine. Just have to cut the recipe in half. Have you thought of getting a bread machine? They often have them cheap in thrift stores. Love your channel and love how you keep it real!
Homemade all the way 🍞.. Croutons, French toast, same recipe for sweet treats (cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, donuts & fried flat dough shape for sandwiches).
Next time you are in Walmart, Take a picture of the back of the Gold Metal Bread Flour recipe for White Bread and try that recipe. I can't cook worth a durn, but I've made that bread a thousand times and it is so fluffy and wonderful. I half the recipe to only make one loaf at a time, and I hardly kneed it, not like the recipe says too, but it has never failed me. I use lard as my grease, and spray my bowl and pans with cooking spray. The loaf rises so tall and is so soft. When it's done remove from the pan and put on a cooling rack, I paint the tops with butter and the bread never gets hard. Put it in one of those 2 gallon baggies to store.
I do the same thing regarding the oven. I also put the oven light on when I set the dough in there. If you have any Amish stores near you pick up their bulk yeast. I get the best bread when I use their yeast and it's pennies on the dollar compared to what you get at the regular grocery stores. I also add my salt to the flour instead of the yeast.... Love your channel!!
I absolutely love making bread. The cast iron Dutch oven is great for making fancy breads like cheddar and chives (amazing with grilled cheese btw). I found mine through chef Paul Prudomme’s cheddar jalapeño (chives replaced the jalapeño in my recipe) it makes bread or rolls which I do both (rolls are great as hamburger buns)
Your bread looks great! One suggestion, brush off excess flour before rolling it up and putting it in the baking pan. I love making bread and have been doing it since I was a teenager. My family loves it!
Now that you have your bread dough down, you HAVE to try this pizza dough recipe. It has some similarities, but it is a little harder. But the crust is THE BEST!
It will save you some if you go to Sam’s I get two blocks of yeast for the price of one at the grocery store and freeze some of it. Good luck. Thanks for the recipe.
few tips.....put some oil or spray like pam on your hands before touching the dough and it will not stick to your hands at all.....check your mixer, mine says level 3 for dough but i stick with level 2.....if it's a kitchen aid most youtubers that make bread say never above a 2....you can also preheat your stove for the 30 mins it's sitting on top of your stove if your house is chilly and that provides enough warmth for rising or back in the oven like you did the first time....and adding a tsp of potato flakes per loaf in your recipe (2 tsp since your recipe makes 2 loaves) also creates that softness......if you liked any of your other loaves and the crust is too 'crusty' for you, after it comes out of the oven, coat the loaf in some melted butter with a brush and it softens the crust....i love making bread, but i'm still searching for a loaf recipe that is a good sandwich loaf recipe for the large pullman pan that has a more store bought taste (my kiddies are so so picky!!) the last tip i have, is if your loaf is slightly dryer after the first rise, instead of using flour which will add to the dryness (not the case with the bread you made in this video!) then brush some oil on your counter to shape it out instead....like you said, humidity plays a roll.....love the videos, gonna try this recipe next loaf of bread i make.....i think this recipe will be great for a 13" pullman pan for a sandwich loaf! stay safe and thank you for all your content!
I want to make bread but just the thought of lighting my oven in Texas during the summer fills me with such anxiety 😂 thankfully my local grocery store has sandwich bread for $0.88 right now and its baked in store so I grab a few every time and throw them in the freezer. They also have bolillo bread 8/$1 😋 but I'm on the lookout for a bread machine.
I, too, have looked for the ultimate bread recipe. I tried this one last night and it was fabulous! I don't have a bread kneader and it wasn't that hard. Thanks for sharing!
I was so happy to see this video! I also don't care for the dense, heavy texture of every other homemade bread recipe that I've tried so I can't wait to make this one. Bread prices where I live have gone up by over a dollar a loaf 🤯
That looks like a good bread and i like that it's simple. I make a simple bread recipe that is good too. Mine does get a little crusty, but i brush melted butter on top and that makes it soft and tastes better too. Thanks for sharing your recipe Brooke, I'm definitely gonna try it! ❤
Looks so good. My mom used to make Sally Lun egg bread when I was a young kid. If I could make bread as good as she did, I don’t think I’d use store bought bread. That seemed really fast and easy.
Brooke, can you show us you making hamburger buns or hot dog buns. Maybe pizza or rolls out of this bread dough .Thanks. I can't Wait to make bread. God bless you and family. God bless all here too.❤➕ ❤
prepare the loaf but instead of putting it on a mold slice it- and make a hole in the center of each slice- take a flat pan and boil water and when its boiling drop the slices and turn them no more that one minute- take them out and put them in a o pan then bake them at 425 until golden brown about 10 12 minutes there you go bagels
I can’t wait to make this, I only have one “bread” recipe I’ve been successful with Phyllis Stokes and sons Angel Biscuits, here on UA-cam. She’s no longer with us, do her loving son took over her channel to keep her legacy alive, and he’s a darn good cook too.
I use a bread maker and find it super easy, way cheaper, and sooooo good. Here is the recipe in case you're interested. In the bread maker add, in this order, 1 cup of warm water, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cups flour, and 3 tsp of yeast. I set my bread maker on the soft bread setting and it makes amazing bread! 😊
Hi Brooke, Love the recipe. Can I use margarine instead of butter(butter is super expensive here) and can I use a different sweetener other than honey? (Real Honey is expensive and may contain bee pollen and bee parts and my family is very allergic to bees and pollen) Thank you for your time and considerations. Have a great day.
Thanks Brooke I love homemade bread with homemade honey butter on it !! Your bread looks delicious , and you’ll enjoy making it for the family especially since you’ll save money doing it, and you can have garlic bread all the time if you want to make it with your own homemade bread ! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us! I make homemade bread and add in 1 & 1/2 cups of Basic 4 cereal and it makes a delicious bread and serve it with my honey butter !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Hello Brooke this recipe is very similar to the amish white bread recipe that i make the only difference is the honey i use 1/3 cup sugar I might tweek mine and try the honey. Another way to proof your bread is turn your oven light on and put your bread into proof. Great job Brooke!
That looks beautiful. I’m making that Friday. I’ll let you know because I’m so excited. I’m practicing kindness like you say and it makes me so happy. Love you, Brooke, you’re a great chef. ❤❤❤
I can make french bread, but soft bread have not done successfully 😂 I was going to do it during covid but it was cheaper to buy bread back then. Now, I think we are where its finally cheaper again... Yay?!?
We were a family of 7 and my mom baked 10 loaves of bread every week. Best bread in the world!!! But everything she made was incredible.
Looks great :). One small tip: shower caps from Dollar Tree do a great job of covering the bowl for proofing and are easier than wrestling plastic wrap! Thanks for all the great videos Brooke!
That’s an awesome idea!!!
You’re a genius!
You can also get the bowl covers over by the plastic wrap. Their is several covers in the box and they are assorted sizes.
But the shower cap is a good idea.
Thanks that’s a great idea
I just found you on UA-cam and I can't stop watching. You are so down to earth, real. Most of us watching are just like you, trying to feed our family on a strict budget. Thank you
More nutritious to bake your own bread , NO preservatives or hidden ingredients !
White bread has no nutritional value. Look it up.
I figured out why I am so addicted to your channel. 1, I wanted to learn how to make bread just one time too you are for real there are no fakeness here. No way you are who you are and I’m the same way never change. God bless you are amazing.
Yes! I feel the same, she's incredible & I love her.💕
Homemade bread and a nap? Girl, you are living the life!❤️
It was nice 😂
Thank you for sharing this maybe I can learn how to make it
I was 15 years old and had to raise my little sister and a niece and nephew. I experimented with a sourdough starter that I made with potato peels. I had a system back then. Over the years, I abandoned it because I was too busy. I have been trying to get back into it.
@Holly That was some big responsibility for you and kudos about stepping up! 💕
To make a loaf of bread spray your loaf pan then put 3 cups of self rising flour 3 tablespoons of sugar and 12 ounces of cheap beer (room temp).

The color is PERFECT on those loaves! Too often people bake breads and pastries way too dark, which dries them out and causes them to be slightly bitter. Great job! I can't wait to try this recipe. 😊🍞🍞
During the summer, I put my dough in my car for the two rising times. It works great and is fast as well.
I don't do bread either. Idk if this'll change my mind. But if anyone can change it, it's you.
I pay $1.49 for a one and half pound of sliced white or wheat bread. And when it is on sale for 99 cents, I buy 6 loaves and freeze them.

Same here! You are not alone! I am definitely not a baker!
No baker here either, people pay me to make meals, BUT baking is a no go😂
Can’t wait to try this. Naps are the best and an important part of a busy mama’s day, enjoy them. 😊
Thank you ,Brooke. You can make rolls, pizza with that bread dough. Blessings to you and yours. Thank you, Dusty for the helpful tips.

When I worked at a preschool for the afternoon shift I didn’t get home until 6 most days(always a late parent to pick up) so I used my bread machine and crockpot almost every day and I wore out my first bread machine while working there. They sure made life easier for a working mom and I didn’t have to do any cooking after getting home from work. Some days I put a casserole in the fridge and left cooking instructions on the kitchen table for my oldest son and husband so they knew when to put it in the oven.
I love baking and cooking in my night gown as well! That's how you know you have a comfy home!
I'm going to try this recipe and see if I can make some cinnamon rolls with it!
Hope you have a great day!

Ill have to try this in my bread machine. Just have to cut the recipe in half. Have you thought of getting a bread machine? They often have them cheap in thrift stores.
Love your channel and love how you keep it real!
Homemade all the way 🍞.. Croutons, French toast, same recipe for sweet treats (cinnamon rolls, pizza crust, donuts & fried flat dough shape for sandwiches).
Next time you are in Walmart, Take a picture of the back of the Gold Metal Bread Flour recipe for White Bread and try that recipe. I can't cook worth a durn, but I've made that bread a thousand times and it is so fluffy and wonderful. I half the recipe to only make one loaf at a time, and I hardly kneed it, not like the recipe says too, but it has never failed me. I use lard as my grease, and spray my bowl and pans with cooking spray. The loaf rises so tall and is so soft. When it's done remove from the pan and put on a cooling rack, I paint the tops with butter and the bread never gets hard. Put it in one of those 2 gallon baggies to store.
I do the same thing regarding the oven. I also put the oven light on when I set the dough in there. If you have any Amish stores near you pick up their bulk yeast. I get the best bread when I use their yeast and it's pennies on the dollar compared to what you get at the regular grocery stores. I also add my salt to the flour instead of the yeast.... Love your channel!!
I absolutely love making bread. The cast iron Dutch oven is great for making fancy breads like cheddar and chives (amazing with grilled cheese btw). I found mine through chef Paul Prudomme’s cheddar jalapeño (chives replaced the jalapeño in my recipe) it makes bread or rolls which I do both (rolls are great as hamburger buns)
Your bread looks great! One suggestion, brush off excess flour before rolling it up and putting it in the baking pan. I love making bread and have been doing it since I was a teenager. My family loves it!
Now that you have your bread dough down, you HAVE to try this pizza dough recipe. It has some similarities, but it is a little harder. But the crust is THE BEST!
I did the oven trick this weekend when I made bread and worked like a charm! Trying your recipe this weekend!
Thank you for sharing this recipe, Brooke !! You are right...bread prices have almost doubled !! We normally grab the GV kind and it has gone up.
Brush the tops of your loaves with melted butter when they come out of the oven and they will stay soft when cooled.
It will save you some if you go to Sam’s I get two blocks of yeast for the price of one at the grocery store and freeze some of it. Good luck. Thanks for the recipe.
few tips.....put some oil or spray like pam on your hands before touching the dough and it will not stick to your hands at all.....check your mixer, mine says level 3 for dough but i stick with level 2.....if it's a kitchen aid most youtubers that make bread say never above a 2....you can also preheat your stove for the 30 mins it's sitting on top of your stove if your house is chilly and that provides enough warmth for rising or back in the oven like you did the first time....and adding a tsp of potato flakes per loaf in your recipe (2 tsp since your recipe makes 2 loaves) also creates that softness......if you liked any of your other loaves and the crust is too 'crusty' for you, after it comes out of the oven, coat the loaf in some melted butter with a brush and it softens the crust....i love making bread, but i'm still searching for a loaf recipe that is a good sandwich loaf recipe for the large pullman pan that has a more store bought taste (my kiddies are so so picky!!) the last tip i have, is if your loaf is slightly dryer after the first rise, instead of using flour which will add to the dryness (not the case with the bread you made in this video!) then brush some oil on your counter to shape it out instead....like you said, humidity plays a roll.....love the videos, gonna try this recipe next loaf of bread i make.....i think this recipe will be great for a 13" pullman pan for a sandwich loaf! stay safe and thank you for all your content!
I want to make bread but just the thought of lighting my oven in Texas during the summer fills me with such anxiety 😂 thankfully my local grocery store has sandwich bread for $0.88 right now and its baked in store so I grab a few every time and throw them in the freezer. They also have bolillo bread 8/$1 😋 but I'm on the lookout for a bread machine.
You are real honest about baking bread! I’m going to try to do it ! Thank you !
I, too, have looked for the ultimate bread recipe. I tried this one last night and it was fabulous! I don't have a bread kneader and it wasn't that hard. Thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤I love baking bread. So much better. Your loaves look great.
I was so happy to see this video! I also don't care for the dense, heavy texture of every other homemade bread recipe that I've tried so I can't wait to make this one. Bread prices where I live have gone up by over a dollar a loaf 🤯
Bread at target is $1.35 .cheap and good.
I'm making this today. Waiting for the last rise now. Thank you so much❤
I am going to try this bread recipe. I have never made bread before. I'll let you know how it turns out thank you so much
That looks like a good bread and i like that it's simple. I make a simple bread recipe that is good too. Mine does get a little crusty, but i brush melted butter on top and that makes it soft and tastes better too. Thanks for sharing your recipe Brooke, I'm definitely gonna try it! ❤
I can almost smell those! I saved this to my online diary sure home it works.
Looks so good. My mom used to make Sally Lun egg bread when I was a young kid. If I could make bread as good as she did, I don’t think I’d use store bought bread. That seemed really fast and easy.
Brooke, can you show us you making hamburger buns or hot dog buns. Maybe pizza or rolls out of this bread dough .Thanks. I can't
Wait to make bread. God bless you and family. God bless all here too.❤➕ ❤
prepare the loaf but instead of putting it on a mold slice it- and make a hole in the center of each slice- take a flat pan and boil water and when its boiling drop the slices and turn them no more that one minute- take them out and put them in a o pan then bake them at 425 until golden brown about 10 12 minutes there you go bagels
Beautiful bread loaves. You can roll them into balls let rise and use as rolls or hamburger buns 😊
Had to share this. Thx girl. As always watching from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Omg I could eat that whole loaf. Looks so good. I bet you're house smelt awesome.❤
That texture is amazing!!
I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Wow your bread looks so yummy. We are going to some. More recipes please. We need so really easy dessert recipes that's non bake for the summer.
Absolutely 💯 Beautiful. Job. Yummmies
I made this today fantabulous
You deserve a nap 😴 if you need one. Girl you got to take care of yourself! Another great 👍 video!
I can’t wait to make this, I only have one “bread” recipe I’ve been successful with Phyllis Stokes and sons Angel Biscuits, here on UA-cam. She’s no longer with us, do her loving son took over her channel to keep her legacy alive, and he’s a darn good cook too.
I am making this recipe today. I am also In Talbott. Hey neighbor
Brooke, thank you, thanks you. I was searching for a recipe that was easy. God, I appreciate you so much.
Brooke I am not a baker either I will try your recipe.
I made your bread today. AMAZING!!!
The local Amish store sells homemade bread for about $5 a loaf. Homemade will be much better quality than the generic Walmart bread.
That's some beautiful looking bread!♥
Looks great! Thanks for sharing with us ❤
it took me years to make a really good biscuit. A friend of mine always asks me to make my cheddar biscuits when he comes for dinner with his partner
You made it look so easy to make I going to it thank you for being you have a good day
I use a bread maker and find it super easy, way cheaper, and sooooo good. Here is the recipe in case you're interested.
In the bread maker add, in this order, 1 cup of warm water, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cups flour, and 3 tsp of yeast. I set my bread maker on the soft bread setting and it makes amazing bread! 😊
Hi Brooke, Love the recipe. Can I use margarine instead of butter(butter is super expensive here) and can I use a different sweetener other than honey? (Real Honey is expensive and may contain bee pollen and bee parts and my family is very allergic to bees and pollen) Thank you for your time and considerations. Have a great day.
Thanks Brooke I love homemade bread with homemade honey butter on it !! Your bread looks delicious , and you’ll enjoy making it for the family especially since you’ll save money doing it, and you can have garlic bread all the time if you want to make it with your own homemade bread ! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us! I make homemade bread and add in 1 & 1/2 cups of Basic 4 cereal and it makes a delicious bread and serve it with my honey butter !! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
This comment reminded me of Nickerson Farms from back in the day!
Does anyone remember Nickerson Farms?
Hello Brooke this recipe is very similar to the amish white bread recipe that i make the only difference is the honey i use 1/3 cup sugar I might tweek mine and try the honey. Another way to proof your bread is turn your oven light on and put your bread into proof. Great job Brooke!
Thank you! I may try your recipe next!
I have put mine out on my patio or in the garage. I guess that is a perk of living in Nm.
They look beautiful!! You did awesome😮
I have been looking for a bread recipe that would be soft.. definitely going to try this.. thank you for the share
That looks beautiful. I’m making that Friday. I’ll let you know because I’m so excited. I’m practicing kindness like you say and it makes me so happy. Love you, Brooke, you’re a great chef. ❤❤❤
How is it that I am SMELLING this video?! Looks delicious!
Smell-o-vision 2.0 lol
Delicious looking bread,thanks Brooke 👍👍👍
I can make french bread, but soft bread have not done successfully 😂 I was going to do it during covid but it was cheaper to buy bread back then. Now, I think we are where its finally cheaper again... Yay?!?
Brooke you go girl!! Amazziiinngg!! Will have to try!! Thanks!!!!❤
