TWD White Loaves

I am so happy that Tuesdays With Dorie is back! I was a part of it for a while up until the end of last year when I had to take a bit of a blogging break. Now we’re both back, and we’re working out of a new Dorie Greenspan cookbook titled Baking with Julia.

Our first recipe is called White Loaves, and it’s exactly what you think it is: a delicious, easy white bread.

This week’s round is hosted by Laurie and Jules, the creators of Tuesdays with Dorie, and you can find the recipe at either of their sites.

I love everything about making bread. From the smells to the process, it all reminds me of my mom, who made her own bread to the point that she even ground her own flour!

I, however, do not grind my own flour. In fact, you all know how much I love my breadmaker. Though I do love making bread with my mixer, I miss the self-containment of the breadmaker when flour is being flung all over everything and the dough is creeping out of the mixer.

I love a good plop of risen bread dough.

There are few things as torturous as smelling baking bread and having to wait.

I realized after the bread had baked that, during the second rising process, my kitchen was probably too cool to get the height that I should have gotten. It doesn’t affect the taste at all but I’m kind of kicking myself that I didn’t put them in a warm oven like I usually do.

I’ll forgive myself.
