Bread so good you will become just a little bit obsessed with it

If you have any ambition in your life to ever try making bread, here is the recipe for you. If you have no ambition in your life to ever try making bread, this is also the recipe for you. Two days ago I made this bread for the first time ever. It makes three loaves per recipe, one to bake and two to put in the fridge to pull out and bake later. Well, later came quickly in our house, as we have now baked all three of the original loaves and I made another batch today and baked two of those loaves. (If you couldn't follow that math, our family has baked 5 loaves of this bread in 3 days). It's that good. And that easy.

Charlotte likes to help. And actually, it's easy enough that a 3 year old could almost put it together and mix it by herself. Almost.

Here is the dough, all mixed and ready to sit in front of the warm vent to rise.

And here is the dough after it rose in the bowl, ready to rise for a little bit longer while the oven preheats.

And now the buns are in the oven. And these are the only buns in ovens around here...though Charlotte did start asking yesterday, "When am I going to have a brother or a sister?"

You may wonder about the choice of baking pans. This is how this recipe is supposed to go--in a covered ceramic or Pyrex dish. My first two loaves were made in the Pyrex contraption in the front--one bowl stacked on top of the other. Then today I borrowed two baking dishes from my grandparents down the street so I could increase my productivity. You know, because we need three loaves of bread at a time...

And the finished product!!! Beautiful, crusty, chewy loaves of bread that you will love. And not be able to stop eating. So plan your suppers to center around this bread.
