If you don’t bake your own bread, you will impress your self. It is so so simple and incredible, that you will begin making your own bread. And not only, you will also be skipping on the store-bought bread preservatives.

If you’ve noticed lately, our blog has been looking healthier, it’s because in 2015 I made a goal to work on nutrition more. Yeah, we are still sticking to it and I’m loving it.

My weakness is bread and anything similar to bread, like sweet buns etc…. As I learn more about nutrition, I’ve learned that we should eat breads, but they have to be a healthy type of bread. Whole grain breads are typically hard in texture, but this recipe makes it fluffy and wonderful. This bread is so healthy and so amazingly delicious. Our boys and my husband Tim, absolutely love it. I’ve been using this bread in Tim’s lunch boxes and also as grill cheese sandwiches for boys.

  • The next day, the dough should be bubbly, fluffy, and a little sticky. Flour your hands and form either one large or two smaller bread loaves. Place the loaves on a floured baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and let them rise for about an hour.

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and make sure you have two racks in place. Pour 2 cups of hot, boiled water into a deep baking dish. Place this baking dish on the lower rack (the water helps the bread to rise and crisp). Place the bread on the top racks. After 10 minutes, remove the dish with the water. Continue baking for another 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your bread loaves. Enjoy!
