What I like about the Hollars is that they are authentic homesteaders, genuine ‘do it yourself’ working people without big egos.
I agree! They're real😊
EXACTLY!!!!
Agree
They talk with each other....no weirdness in or disrespect of children. Low on the narcissist scale.
💯 Agreed!!!
Lovely to see someone making breading without making a big ordeal out of it.
kinda what I was thinking
I’ve been watching since Ben was too embarrassed to say “Good morning, beautiful people!” So glad we won him over. 😁
You've some sweet spirited kids that look like they'll grow to be great adults as you and Ben are I'm sure. It's what the world needs more of thank you for making it a better place.
Beautifully said and I agree with you 100%!
Love this comment. ❤
Loved the format of this video, how the time lapses switched back and forth between the projects inside and outside! I also can't wait to try the bread recipe, thanks Meg!
Loved this video. You cook like my mom used to. Brought back a lot of memories. Mom in the kitchen and dad in the shop building something. Thank you for sharing
TY so much for your bread recipes. You make it look so easy. Appreciate you taking the time.
Love the sweet voice of your son helping with your kitchen video segment
Love The Hollar Homestead! Your Family warms this 67 year old ❤!
I agree!
I WAS 67 until 1week ago. JERRY. ,(25th) Our decades are going FASTER.
I just want to say, why is it out of all the UA-cam homestead channels I don’t feel good until I see your blog. It’s nothing special but so addictively normal not staged. Omg. A super family. Keep up good work normalcy
building a life together as a family- that's awesome!
My daughter made bread for the first time last week and she is going bread making crazy. Your bread and rolls look delicious! Thank you!
On that note, I just want to mention that I use the King Arthur flour recipe for " easy white sandwich bread " but I make whole grain, usually "sprouted" ( OG ) spelt or wheat flour ( I source locally or from Vitacost online ) , and use coconut sugar in it btw, and it's been a great recipe for me. Basically no-fail. With the whole-grain flours I just use less, but since I never end up measuring and keeping track the whole time, idk exactly how much, I just go by the feel of it and end up leaving it a bit too sticky-seeming, to avoid it seeming to be pulling apart too easily ( the dough ), getting too dense or whatever the term should be for what I mean. I also get yeast and the sugar from Vitacost. I get occasional great discount deal in my email inbox from them, and shipping is always free for an over $50 order. But I do like to support local grocers too, I just don't live near town among other reasons. Anyways, I highly recommend this recipe if anyone wants to try using whole grain and sprouted flours. I haven't tried adding more liquid instead of backing off on flour amount.
I love your comment. I remember making bread for the first time. I was so impressed, that I went bread crazy too. Lol
Meg - it has been really nice to watch you in your domain! You never seem to get flustered - making bread, holding your daughter, doing dishes and so on. Keep well - God bless you all.
What a cutie hiding in the cabinet! I totally enjoyed watching you make the bread---just like my grandma and my mother made theirs: no measuring, just by guess and by golly! Dinner looked fantastic although I think I could have left out the sweet potatoes and squash and added carrots and celery (although I loathe celery, but it goes well with the onions, carrots, and spuds), but that's just me. The pens looked great and I am totally impressed with the young men who pitch right in to help by either holding a camera, herding the little one, or painting with dad. Nice---just totally nice and very like what 'farm life' used to be---even on the ranch.
Yay Meg. Thank y'all sooo much. I needed this today. I just bought a new scraper ($2) & getting ready to make some bread. LOVE to Y'ALL from Arkansas
I'm from Arkansas too!
Thanks for taking the time for sharing.
Loved seeing hold the baby and having her watch. Being with mom and learning. Best lessons of life.
I taught my son how to bake cakes and pies before he was 10 and he still remembers. Watching your boys jump in reminded me ♥️♥️♥️
I love that you care enough that you want the end result to look nice on your property by painting. Plus the paint preserves.
And your bread and rolls are beautiful and I imagine delicious too! I am new watching your channel. What I see so far I love. We have three sons too. I lost my husband to brain cancer which took away my dream of having a little farm maybe. That was four years ago. Our sons are grown now with wives and children of their own. Those grandchildren are my reason for living. They are the smile in my heart and on my face! Perhaps I will look for land to buy in a year or so. I have enjoyed watching your videos. Now I can binge watch your videos which keeps me busy and my mind occupied. Thanks for inspiration. You guys are awesome! Oh my! I just saw that you guys have FOUR sons! Wow they are beautiful children! And your daughter is a little beauty just like her Mom!
Meg I think you have great baking sense! I’ve been watching you for a while and love the way you cook, bake and the tenderness you have with your family. Loved Buggy popping out of the cupboard, I remember when my children did that so very long ago. Would love to see you put out a cookbook! I’d want to be #1. Have a wonderful day
Oh my gosh. I have been trying to make bread..., not doing good at it! Meg, thanks for your recipe! I will try it tomorrow! 🌼
You have to come back here tomorrow, @Cheryl and let us know how it works out for you. I have no doubt you'll nail it! Heather🇨🇦
You’ll get it. Just keep trying ❤️
Thank you for showing your bread making process! I've made bread for a long time but I really LOVE your fold and roll technique of the bread dough. ❤️
Love seeing different ways people do their bread! Making bread is so satisfying!!!💙💙💙
Buggy so lucky to have brothers to play with and for the help of more hands 😀 I bet the house smells so good with the bread baking 😋
Ben, my grandpa always said when snow hangs around, it's waiting on another snow! Lol usually he was right 😁
Meg the bread looked wonderful! Love seeing your little one watching you mix the bread, she's going to learn young! ❤️
My grandma said the same thing. It is usually right ☺️ the old ways of figuring out weather n all sorts of things are great 😃. Way better than local news weather 🙂🌡️
Hey guys how's it going I find myself coming to your page more often I used to follow Justin but I just fell away from that you guys are the best I love how you just live life keep up the good work I do hope you boys know how lucky you are to have a mom and a wife like Meg. go get them girl😇🦋
Justin got too big for his britches. Not honest with his viewers re: all his help he has on his homestead. He led us to believe it was just him and his boys and Arun.
He's such a phony! Lost interest years ago.
@@hanorabrennan8846 I just lost interest after the Arun situation with NO EXPLAINATION and discovered he has an editor and made us all believe he was doing "his editing" in his "editing corner." Now he tries to defend that to say he has to "edit" and aprove before he sends to the editor. Pshhh I also got sick of watching Becca laying in bed every chance she got. Suck it up buttercup. Its about time she starts working. Since Arun left she has been forced to. I saw greed and mamin as being top priority re: books and Abundance plus. Stick to homesteading Justin. Next you'll be a CORPORATION like the rest of the world. DEFEATING the SMALL homestead goals and teachings.
@@pamelaremme38 what happened between them??
@@joelmora2826 No one knows. All that Arun did for Justin and Becca and no going away party no acknowledgement what so ever.
You two and your children are amazing!! You should be so proud of everything you are doing, and also of you boys!
Meg you are the Queen of the kitchen. Your breads and rolls look perfect and the chicken looks so juicy. Ben the fencing looks great!
❤😂😂Meg, girl I love love love your simplistic attitude. I have been so afraid to make bread bc people on UA-cam have made it so complex. You helped me immensly❤!! I fear no more. We now have bread and rolls.
God bless you and your beautiful family. And thank you for your help❤
Candy in SC
"I lost my tripod." He went out to play. LOL I enjoyed your baking session, Meg. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer just like yours, but it is probably older then you! I have always loved it. The bread and rolls looked so good. Have you included your kids in bread making? They may enjoy it. Ben, very interesting watching your project come together...so nice to have the boys available to help out, too!
Yes! Brett likes to get in and bake with me.
I’m one of 6 kids (I’m 63 now) but as a child, my mom had a vintage bread machine (a metal bucket strapped to the counter with a handle attached to a bread hook) and she made 20 loaves at a time…… of course some were different….. savory ones, cinnamon and raisins, etc…..
Meg - thanks for reminding us that, despite all the specialty bread recipes and instructions, “standard” bread is pretty easy and doesn’t require precision to be successful. After all, “standard” home-made bread tastes 1000 times better than any artisan loaf you’d buy in a store. With some practice you can tweak the amounts to fit your family’s taste. And experiment! If the loaf isn’t exactly what you want, it’s still going to taste really good, and there’s always next time. 😁
Exactly!!
@@TheHollarHomestead I’ve been intimidated to bake bread. Not anymore, thanks, Meg!!
I am so glad I watched this video (though I never miss one, haha). I had no idea you could tweak things a bit. I have always followed the recipe to the T in fear of messing up the dough. Such a great thing to know that it will still work out if you (have to) modify it a bit. Love Meg, Ben & the kiddos!
@@orchidlife9482 Isn't that the truth!?! I had no idea you could modify it a bit here and there if you need/want to. I've had a recipe that its quite tasty, but I didn't dare vary it! It's so nice to know you can do it and it will still turn out! It's been quite a while since I made bread/rolls/cinnamon buns, but I'm eager to try it again now, knowing that as long as the yeast is good, it should all work out just fine. After all, even your worst homemade bread loaf is still far better than any store-bought loaf!
I love how relaxed Meg is about baking bread. I’m always so worried that I’ve done something wrong. She’s inspired me to “chill” and enjoy the process. ☺️
MEG Thank you for the simple bread, hey I can do that!, recipe 🥰.
The baby sitting in the cupboard reminds me of mom telling me I loved playing there too. A sweet simple video I'm saving for the inspiration. Ben, as usual, a great finished project. You guys are so sweet to watch.
Your boys are growing in front of our eyes! Mom is feeding them well! 😊😊😊
Hey Meg! I make bread several days a week and have my own standard recipe I use for almost anything, I just wanted to let you know, if you guys like softer loaves that hold up for 3+ days then get some Malted Milk Powder or it might be labeled Diastatic Milk or Diastatic Malt powder (all the same thing), it will give you that added freshness length, plus a super stable, soft interior (I add about 1 tbspn for 4.5 cups of flour which makes a 2 lb loaf), for your 5.5-6 cups I'd add 1.5 tbspn. I started using it about two years ago and rarely ever bake bread without it now, it makes so much difference and you can get it in bulk from Azure!
Can you just use powdered milk?
@@amykerns707 You can, it won't have the same effect for as long, diastatic malt powder is the best, but malted milk powder is second best and then milk powder, it definitely is noticable even on the very fresh loaf, when I'm out of any of those things, I'm sure there's some science to it, but I just know it works great. I made a double batch of hamburger buns, using my bread recipe, three days ago and they're still soft.
Yesterday, after years of giving up making homemade bread, I found this video and followed your recipe. My bread turned out wonderful! No more grocery store bread for us. Thank you for sharing your recipe and an easy to follow instructions!
I just come rewatch this every time I make bread lol
Do you recall what temp oven should be at and how long?
What a beautiful Meal Meg 🥘 and Bens Project The Hollers Homestead are very Talented People ❤️❤️🤷♀️
Thank you so much for the recipe and instructions for your bread and variations Meg. You do it so easily even with child in tow!
My sisters were talking about this today. My grandma made molasses cookies and cloverleaf rolls. We loved them.
Hey Meg , as a retired Pastry Chef I believe it's easier for people who do this daily or weekly to throw together if you will than to weigh. For Folks that are new to Baking follow a recipe then twerk as you go.
I made cakes and strudel but once a week I made Baguettes for Fondue so I could just go by feel as well 😉.
Looks Yummy Mum💝!
Miah and Jess will love your work Ben 💪💥🐦.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄☃
I got tickled at your "twerk as you go" phrase...I immediately pictured Miley Cyrus! Thinking you meant "tweak." Lol
@@rebeccajones9735
I giggled myself when it showed up , I should have proof read 😊.
JO Jo
Please keep the twerking, made my morning 😁😁😁
@@kotomszczanka Mine too!!!
I love watching your method for making bread Meg. Thanks for showing each step. Your view out the window is beautiful with Daisy and Cub out there. Ben is doing a nice job on the wheel brackets for the ram pens for the Swards. Lilliann looks like she just woke up from a nap. It was cute seeing her come out of the cupboard. Beautiful loaves Meg. Ben, you ran out of gas! But you got all the brackets done. Meg, all that bread came out beautiful! The chicken looks wonderful! Painting! Thanks for this Hollars!
Meg you are amazing. Your family is so blessed to have you cooking for them. That chicken and vegetables looked wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I do look forward to watching you work your magic in the kitchen.
Looks like a very nice day for you'll, busy and productive and everything going in the right direction. Thank you for letting me stop in and visit for the day. Keep growing!
"Because butter" are words I live by every day.
Hold up... I'm saving this to my watch later...I'll be back with pen and paper 🙏🤗
I finally have kitchen aid and I'm really looking forward to using it for bread 🍞 🙂
I'm going to make some bread tomorrow for the family. You made it look so easy. Thanks Meg for the inspiration ❤
I really like how his wife works inside as much as he works outside! I don’t like to see just 1 person doing everything at a Homestead it doesn’t seem fair or real. Great work these family members do!!🙏🙏🙏Blessings
Loved this one! Can't wait to try the bread!!! I can taste it now. Nothing like a hot loaf of fresh bread. Great job all of you. The ram pens look amazing!
Your Bread looked delish. I love watching cooking videos. Keep them coming.
The science behind bread making is for the folks who didn't have good Mamas to teach them how to make bread. The end result is the only thing that matters in baking. A big smile or an "Ahhh" or a "Mmmm" is what tells you you done good.
This was fun! So nice watching all of you do what you do!
I have now probably watched this video 10 times? I am finally making bread and buns using it. Thank you!
I love the Hollar philosophy. Use it up,wear it out Make do or do without. In this time of want want want it’s enlightening
Thank you Meg for being so comfortable about sharing and giving me the confidence I needed. I've had everything for months but keep putting it off. I'm making it tomorrow, Lord willing something doesn't come up like Ben said.😉
Hardworking Beautiful People!! God Love You!!!❤🙏❤🙏😊
I have to say, I loved the format and style of this video. Really felt like got to spend a day with you and see how you do things your way. I love it. Thanks guys. 👏🏽
This is positively my most favorist channel.
Mag you are amazing in the kitchen, Ben you're the man for the job ""badass " when you need stuff done you're the man 👨
Back in the day when each of us were running crazy schedules, I kept a day timer in 2 sets of colored pencils (things that coild be altered) and 2 different colored pens (things which could not be switched up); one set for me and one set for him. I encouraged some type of notebook for him to keep as well. Then once per day or couple of days, we would go over the day timer and also schedule in joint activities, appointments,commitments, etc...
I have never made bread before. I followed what you did and made 2 of the most beautiful loaves I have ever seen. Thank you for making me understand I can make this!!!
This is hilarious because this video is a year old and I was just recently watching you I'm just been watching you for a very short time and I've been wondering the same thing about your bread recipe hahahahaha so I was super happy when this popped up this morning! Thank you so much.
Great simple bread recipe. Thank you from Ohio.
I love your videos. I’m not going to be so afraid of making bread now!!! You are such a homemaker and your children will look back and say.”We didn’t eat a bunch of processed foods in our home. Our Mom was always in the kitchen making everything from scratch!!!”
I just now got done baking that bread :) :) Definitely a keeper for my regular busy days to get some bread on the table :) Turned out perfect. Thanks
How are these young boys ever gonna find a wife they are satisfied with , if you do as the old people says in " Find a woman that is like your mother ". They will be lucky if they can! Women like this is far and in between. Sure is a great wife and mother. And Ben is such a hard worker. I enjoy watching him do then with little shortcuts that makes the job easier. Since watching you all I have built my chicken coop, bought chickens and have fresh eggs and am ready to build a chicken tractor for meat birds. And gonna try these dinner rolls for tomorrow and smoked ribs in the smoker. You guys are wonderful and truly enjoy you. Would love to meet you all on day but lots of love from Kentucky.
Luv seeing the whole family. Your Baby is Beautiful.
I’ve always done 2 tablespoons of yeast also for two loaves too. I’ve been making breads for almost 50 years. Nothing better than homemade breads, rolls, and cinnamon rolls! Looks great and I’ll wager the aromas in your house is out of this world
If only we had smell-o-vision! Yum!!!😋. I'll bet your home often smells amazing too.
So nice to see you all! Baby sister popping out of that cabinet was just totes adorbs 🥰
Watching this made me happy! You have the sweetest family and a wonderful life. I enjoyed seeing how you make bread. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Thank you for the bread recipe. Yes, this IS a recipe. It's how I was taught to bake. My Grandma once said she didn't know what the measurements were, she just dumped it in until it looked right. And so... "dump cake" was born. I've read a lot of recipes and this just looks right.
Meg, you are a machine!!!👍
You can see why they say women are better at multitasking. Mixing and baking THREE different batches of bread at the same time. While doing dishes, child care, of a Small child no less. Making dinner and filming it all. Then afterwards she does her AND his editing of videos. 👍👍😁😁
The Story of Being A Wife
When painting gates or wire fence, put on a rubber glove; put a string knit glove over the rubber glove; dip the glove into the paint and have at it! Gets all the nooks and crannies easier than a brush. Toss the cheap knit glove and rubber glove and you’re done with little clean up😊
Thank you for showing your how to on breadmaking! It made my life way easier cause I never thought about changing how to let the dough rise. With the short rest I don't have to watch my dough rise over the edge of the bowl on my machine anymore! And we have a new favourite, cinnamon and raisins. Soo good.
I made your bread Meg during the foot of snow here in central Illinois. This is my first success in many try’s of bread making. Excellent content thankyou so much. 👍
Made the sandwich loaf today!! It was so good and so simple! I love how quickly it came together- it was super easy. Will absolutely be making it all the time! 😋 the kids loved it too!
I’ve always considered the kitchen the heart and soul of a home every time this amazing woman starts cooking this time bread 🥖 it’s beyond yummy and delicious I imagine munching every morsel of food she cooks and I know l won’t be eat anybody’s else bread having followed her recipe (I appreciate you guys sharing ) awesome
Hi my name is Mary Webb I live in Arkansas and I have been watching your videos you have a wonderful family. I love watching your cooking videos , thank you for sharing.
Meg, you make it look so easy. I love watching you cook.
I’m an intuitive cook as well. But I’m also a hands on learner.. lol Thank you. This let me see what I needed to learn yet gave me the encouragement to not feel like I would ruin it. I appreciate the time you took to record the video. 😇
Thank you Meg and helpers 😀🍞 Buggy is just soooo darn adorable!!!! Look at that smile❣
YES!!! Meg, PLEASE post more videos of you cooking. This one was awesome! I have my standard bread recipe, but I might give yours a shot. I love how easy it is for you to take one main recipe and easily switch a couple ingredients to turn it into a whole new end product.
Ben, excellent progress on the ram pens. I love following you guys! You’re such an inspiration and I love your positivity! Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you SO much for the bread teaching video, I'm so excited to try it this weekend, especially the raisin bread! Love, love, love raisin bread!
I have never seen anyone make raisin bread like that but it sure looks delicious! All turned out very nice!
Hi..... Meg and Ben and nice to see you all love watching your videos, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣 🐥🐖🌱🌺🌹🌿🌻🌼🌸🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
Nice pens, and Meg's home cooking is inspiring. I'm going to make bread now, thanks for the motivation.
You have probably gone over this before.... but maybe you could do a Walk Through review of the different buildings on the property and how you use them, what needs updating, and a dream vision of what you WANT things to look like in the future. I know you have a designated soap "House"... how about a "root cellar" / food storage , a designated class Room area... real excited about that! plus an updated area for all that amazing metal work. Then there are the animal shelters / pastures. Gotta spread this all out of course..you've got the rest of your lives to fill out. : )
Thanks for the recipe, Meg !!! The breads look delicious !!!
Thank you!
I've got a new stand mixer for my 20yr anniversary...
I've never used one before 🤗
And I've been wanting to make bread forever... I'm 63... Ya.... I know 🤣
But
You young lady
You just made me believe that I totally can!!!
I've been watching and studying all sorts of channels.
But you just totally lit my fire.
Thank you!
Beautiful family and home by the way ❣️
Well, I FINALLY did it! I'm in my mid 50's and have Never made bread or biscuits. The Really sad part is that I am a country girl, farmer, farmer's wife. I did it today though. It's currently sitting on my counter while the gluten rests and will go into the oven in a few minutes.
I have to say that out of all of the Homesteaders I watch on UA-cam, y'all are some of my favorites! Your videos are interesting, genuine, not too much talking, yet very informative! They convey peacefulness. I can't watch when animals are being processed, squeamish, but everything else is fantastic😊 I also love your soap and your adorable kids!
I've watched this twice. I'm back again to watch Meg make bread because I forgot and didn't take notes. She made it so simple without stress.
Sidebar- I'm forgetting things, but Meg, if you've already done video on making scones, please could you direct me to it, or please can you do a video on making scones? Thank you.
I am so envious of your crew. You boys rock!
Hi, I just wanted to tell you the bread I made turned out great. Usually it is brick like. Thanks so much! 😍
I finally made your version of homemade bread, and it is now going to be the one I make all the time!! I had been using a recipe that was for hamburger buns to make into bread and it was very good. One thing I like about this is it seems more solid when I need it to be. It doesn't fall apart. I also LOVE not having to do a 1st and 2nd rise. I was able to make 2 loaves of bread this past Sunday after coming home from church. They were ready before we went back to church that night!
Meg, you are amazing! Thanks for showing us the step by step!
I made this bread over the weekend, it is so easy and soooo good! No more store bought bread for this girl! Thanks :)
Tried your basic recipe for bread and we love it. Not buying crappy bread anymore. I have made sourdough but sometimes we just want a nice sandwich bread and this fits the bill. Thanks so much.
That baby girl is to big! She is adorable and those handsome boys are such jewels!
I made bread and rolls today, following along with your video on my laptop. So easy, no mess, great results. I can stop avoiding baking bread now!
Loved watching this video when it first came out. Just went back and watched again and letting my dough rest.
So much improved land and living for your family (more family now) than when you first obtained the property! What a journey…your family’s commitment hard work really paying off! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍
Time saver -
Grew all types of squash for decades. Hubbard to Acorn…
If I had the oven on for whatever earlier in the day, & knew I was going to cook a squash later, I would cut the squash in 1/2, more pieces for a Hubbard and put in the oven. Not to bake it, just soften up the peel.
Cool before taking a knife to it.
If it was wintertime with the wood stove in use, (Rarely ever used foil, sometimes had a roll for 10+ years, but did use foil to wrap bricks in for on top of the wood stove. Somethings that needed to cook slowly, like Indian pudding, were 2 or 3 bricks up.), I would put the squash on a baking sheet on top of the wood stove to heat it up a bit to make it easier to peel. Always cool. 😊
Sorry for the look-alike spam account! I’m working to get them deleted 😏
Anyways... that is a wonderful idea, thank you! I always have my oven going.
Meg I love your style of cooking. Lol I cook like that too. Then when people want a recipe I'm like...THERE IS NO RECIPE...I JUST DO IT. 🤣😂🤣
