No doubt if someone is more than just a casual surfer to this web site, they have interest in making bread. (As the teenagers are wont to say when they encounter such profundity, "DUH!")
Bread is not just for breakfast with a cuppa Joe, or to stick a couple of pieces of salami between for a "power lunch." Many great recipes use bread in one fashion or another.
Some require scooping out the insides to leave a medium for baking something else inside, some recipes ask that you slice off the top and/or sides. The creative cook realizes that these pieces will not be wasted. A gallon sized zipper bag, kept in the freezer, is a great repository for these "scraps." There seems to always be a need for breadcrumbs for meatloaf, cubed bread for bread pudding, and stuffing for fowl.
The following recipes are some that require the use of the bread we all like to bake. If you "bake" but do not "cook", that is wonderful! Ask your significant other to participate, get the kids/grandkids involved. If you can read, write, do arithmetic and follow simple directions you can create some wonderfully creative and imaginative meals that all center around the thing we enjoy the most: BAKING BREAD!
