Being able to grab a loaf of bread at the local grocery store is something that many people likely take for granted. Under normal circumstances, we probably don’t ever stop to think about what a blessing it is to always have loaves of bread available whenever we need them.
With the current state of the world – many on lock-down or social distancing, shortage of food and supplies – a loaf of bread is hard to come by. And if you’re lucky enough to find some, likely the store you are buying it from is going to limit you to only one or two loaves. Well, as a family of 10, a loaf (or even 2) doesn’t go very far. And with social-distancing being strongly advised, I’d rather not have to make a bread run on a daily basis.
So, homemade bread is in my near future. I have made bread a few times in the past and thankfully I do have a bread machine, so that will make it even easier to make.
If you are in the same boat as me, and are going to have to start making your own bread, here is a list of easy to make bread recipes that don’t require a bunch of crazy ingredients or special equipment.
Oh, and just to note – I didn’t include water in the ingredient counts below.
