    i am a bread baker and discovered if you use bread improver..the best thing to use for substitution is 1 teaspoon of vinegar in the liquid to 5 cups of flour.. the bread comes out so smooth inside is slightly chewy and tender and High rising bread.. Love your tutorials Caleb ..thank you for what you do..

    I love homemade bread. This looks amazing, I'm trying it today. Making bread does take practice. The first few times I made bread, you bust out a window with it. I had to learn bread making on my own. Kaleb, you have saved many from having rock-hard bread. You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for these wonderful videos.

    Thank you for this suggestion!
    We're under a winter storm warning today and I can't think of anything better to do than fill my house with the smell of fresh bread. 🥪

      @jddo3298 Рік тому +1

      @outdoor lady- first, hoping this finds you well and the storm passing you by. Second, this would be a great way to both warm the house and fill it with the wonderful aroma of fresh bread and would also be great served along with one of Kaleb's soups or stews- he has some really good ones. God Bless you and Keep you Safe in HIS Loving Embrace. Have an AWESOME week ahead.

    I made this bread tonight and it was fantastic! The only change I made was black sesame seeds because that's what I had. I think it made for a beautiful touch. This humid TN evening had me use nearly 9 cups of flour. I will definitely be making these again. TY!

    I make bread 2 to 3 times a week, because we LOVE it! ❤️ My recipe is very similar to yours! I use honey instead of sugar, and sometimes coconut oil instead of butter...just to switch it up a little! But the rest is exactly like yours! There are so many folks out there that are afraid of bread making, but you just made it so simple and easy for them! THANK YOU!

    I have always made it the old fashioned way…kneading completely by hand…only this last time did I use my kitchen aid to knead my dough! Oh why did I wait?? It’s wonderful!!!
    I learned from my Grandma; the best yeast bread baker and yeast donut maker ever!!

    Looks great! I came to your channel to verify the rise time as I used another UA-cam recipe and she said to let it rise for 15 to 20 minutes on the counter. Needless to say that wasn't nearly enough time. I made rolls a long time ago and I remembered it should have been at least 1 hour or until doubled in size. As it turns out this style of bread is about the same.

    My mother never made bread. I started experimenting shortly after I was married (I got for a bridal shower gift). I made bread all the time while raising my 3 kiddos. I remember their little bodies...waiting patiently...for me to cut the warm bread and smear it with butter and (homemade of course) strawberry jam. Then, when they got a little older, and could measure ingredients, we got a bread machine so they could make bread themselves. My daughter was actually the first one in our county (in Ohio) to use a bread machine for her Bread's 4-H project. Even with a hole in it (she had a good answer!) she got an A and placed at the county fair.
    To this day, when they're all over for dinner, the strawberry jam always gets put on the table if I've made fresh bread, rolls or biscuits.

    I've made this bread many many times now and it always turns out great. I was wondering if I could add, ground flax seed, and sesame seeds to the dough. Would that change anything in the recipe? Would adding these require an increase in the water in the recipe?
