Some times when the budget is strong, I do my own baking of bread. It is some way tastier than the bread you by. And my kids seems to eat more bread when I make it myself rather than by it. Well, this month of budget is strong and it is rather expensive to by the bread, I have made my own bread for the weeks to spend. Do You often make your own bread, or do you prefer to by?

Well, it is not easy to do. It has taken me a couple of years to learn and to feel OK doing it.

I never made bread. The only bread I make is banana bread. It just seems a lot of work to make bread. I use just buy the bread.

Well, it do take a couple of hours to make bread. So when I do it, I do a lot of it. Hopefully I hope it will last for some time. But most of the time it does not. Home made bread is better the bought.

I enjoy baking bread, but like others, I don't do it in the summer time. Now that the weather is cooling down, I'll be baking more often. I should bake enough in the spring to freeze for summer, but I never think of it. Homemade bread tastes so much better than commercial bread, and it's better for you because it doesn't have all the other stuff in it.

I try to make bread atleast a couple of times a month, just to save the budget. And sometimes we do prefer brad from the sore. It depend on which type of bread we like. But home made bread is by far the best, and cheapest and I would also think it is more healtier.

I've tried making bread a few times over the years, but never could get it right. I think I was always too impatient and didn't let it rise enough or something. I tried again a few months ago and have made several loaves and they have all turned out really well. I haven't made any recently because it's been too hot, but I will start making some again soon. I make it by hand too, no bread machine.

Well, it have taken me some years to be able to make god and desent bread. It is an art actually. But when the budget are strong and you can not by it every day, it is cheaper to make it on your own.

Yup, I make my own. It's sooo much cheaper than buying the paste loaves at the store, and it tastes soooo much better than the premade stuff. My mom gave me a bread machine, but I'm never happy with how it comes out so I make it by hand. I love how the house smells afterwards, too! I like knowing what goes into things, and it's nice to eat bread that isn't full of high fructose corn syrup and lots of preservatives. Happy bread making!

We eat bread to most of the things. But mostly to breakfast and in the evenings. My son however can live on bread and milk if I let him. So if I should have home made bread every day, I would have to make it every day. But yes, home made bread is far better then fast made from the store.

I do not but I would like to. We have this recipe book called Sophie's Sweet and Savory Loaves and I've looked at every recipe there and have noted which ones I'm going to do if I could. Your kids probably enjoy the bread that was made with love by their mom. Take care.

Yes, mums bread is the best, right! however, I can not make it evwery day. It take a couple of hours to do. And I do work full time, and my time is a hand full not long enough. Today is my day of, I have made food for two days so I do not have to stand in the kitchen after work. But of course, the kids like it home made.

Yes, I do the same. I do not like to spend the summer days making bread. Specially since bread seems to be eaten so much that you have to make it every day. I kind of liked doing my own bread today. And I got lucky not to ruin them as I some times do. thank you for responding.

Where I live it is more expensive to make my own bread than it is to buy it. So most times I just buy it. But there was a day that is was cheaper to make it so then I always made it myself. I would put a loaf on in my bread maker, ever second day, and turn it on to bake over night and in the morning it would be fresh and still warm. I would have liked to make it every day just to have that warm, fresh bread every morning but then the rest of the loaf wouldn't get all eaten. There was just my husband and I back then so we couldn't eat a loaf a day, it would take us two days to eat a loaf. I rarely eat bread anymore because of the carbs and my age, so I just buy a loaf every four or five days. And even then some of it gets thrown in the garbage. Lately I have gotten smarter and I freeze half the loaf when I buy it and then I am not wasteing any. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris
