Serve Homemade Bread!

I've been reading an elderly friend's autobiography. One story from her childhood involved eating at her aunt and uncle's house after church. She acknowledged that all the food was probably good, but she only remembers her uncle's fresh homemade rolls. I was reminded of the lasting memories that homemade bread can bring.

What if you want to upgrade a boring meal at home and make it more interesting or memorable? Here's one way I do it!

Make the dough for Bread Machine French Bread and divide it into 4 or 5 portions to make smaller French rolls. Par-bake and freeze them (for up to 6 weeks). At a moment's notice, I can pull them out of the freezer and brown them in my air fryer or conventional oven for a quick and fabulous accompaniment to my next meal. The smaller size makes them easier to freeze and bake. See the pictures below for more details.

Note: This recipe also makes good submarine buns.

Here's how to do it:

We live 6 miles out in a forest, so running into town is sometimes given a second thought. My husband said it was the best French bread ever. He ate more slices of that than the main dinner entrée.--JOYCE

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX It's hard to get in the mood to bake bread when the temperatures climb. On the other hand, if you're lucky enough to have fresh tomatoes, homemade bread takes a BLT to another level. So I keep baking—usually by turning the oven on early in the morning. While testing a new-to-me recipe yesterday, I ran into something I don't think I've ever talked about. The recipe was written in metric measurements (thankfully), but it also listed tiny...

straining yogurt with a handkerchief

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX A reader emailed me this week to say she strains yogurt with men's handkerchiefs. Not cheesecloth. Not coffee filters. Handkerchiefs. I've heard plenty of creative yogurt-making ideas over the years, but this was a new one. I have questions, of course. How much yogurt does she strain at one time? How large is her strainer? Is washing and drying the handkerchiefs significantly easier than using cheesecloth? Apparently, it works well for...

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX One thing I've learned about holiday meals is that people remember the favorites.

If you're planning a Fourth of July cookout, here are a couple of family traditions along with two more recipes that are always welcome at a summer gathering.
