Delicious Homemade Sandwich Bread

September 30, 2019      2 Comments

I’m a serious sucker for some good homemade bread! Turns out, you don’t need a bulky bread machine to make delicious sandwich bread at home, and it’s actually way easier than you think! I have had this recipe for…forever. I honestly don’t even remember where I got it from, but its a go-to favorite around here. Not only does it taste fantastic, but there is the added bonus of saving money and cutting out preservatives that you would find in store-bought bread! 

I’m dropping the recipe below. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Homemade Sandwich Bread

  • Servings: 20
  • Time: 2.5 hours
  • Difficulty: easy/moderate
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 2 packets active dry yeast
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup oil (I use vegetable)
  • 6 1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the water. (you could mix by hand but I prefer to use my Kitchenaid Mixer with the dough hook attachment).
  2.  Add the sugar, salt, eggs and oil and mix just until combined.
  3. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix until smooth.
  4. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  5. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6.  Place the dough in a greased bowl (I use my mixer bowl, washed of course), and cover with a towel. Put in a warm oven* and let rise for one hour.
  7.  Remove the bowl, punch down the dough and divide in half.
  8.  Place one half of the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll like you would a pinwheel. Pinch the ends together and place into a greased loaf pan (as a baker, THESE are my favorite!). Repeat with the other half of the dough. 
  9. Place these back in the warm oven (you may have to re-warm it a little), cover with a towel and let rise for another hour.
  10.  Once your loaves have risen, bake at 375 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven and brush the crust with melted butter to keep it soft.
  12. Slice and enjoy!!! We love it with fresh apple butter in the fall!
 
*To “warm” the oven, I usually will preheat it to 200 degrees while I am making the dough, but turn the oven OFF before placing the dough in to let it rise!

A Promise We Can Stand On

September 23, 2019      Leave a Comment

I don’t know where you are in life, friend. But I personally have been in a pressing season. There are days when I have wondered if things would ever get better, or if God would ever say “yes” to the pleas of my desperate heart. 

And then I read this truth in 1 Peter, and it is a promise that we can stand on. God WILL restore. He WILL confirm. He WILL strengthen. He WILL establish. We just have to wait, as hard as that wait may be. I have felt this through fertility struggles, financial struggles, friendship struggles, broken seasons in my marriage, the list goes on. And time and again I can recall His faithfulness. Things will get better if we can simply cling to this truth, look for the lesson in the pain, and wait on the Lord. 

I needed this reminder today. God is not dormant and His timing is perfect.

Father’s Day Tool Set Cookies

September 19, 2019      Leave a Comment

I know Father’s Day is long-gone but I NEEDED to share these with you guys! I wanted to do something extra special for the dads this year. A good dad is truly the unsung hero of parenting and they deserve the best! After lots of brainstorming, I decided a realistic tool set was the perfect dad gift! My own daddy is not local, so I couldn’t send him a tool box, but you better believe he got tools! 

The boxes are hand cut using a template that I designed, and then finished with a woodgrain effect done in royal icing. 100% edible!

I had so much fun creating these little masterpieces! 

Supplies used for this order:

Tool set cookie cutters
Silver Luster Dust
Royal Icing
No Spread Sugar Cookies

We Have Some News!

We posted these images on our social media a few weeks ago, but life has been so hectic that I hadn’t gotten to share with the rest of you! We are right about 14 weeks with our newest little love, and we are over the moon excited! This time around was a total surprise, and adjusting our home and family to two (briefly) under two will be a whole new journey. But we are so thankful that the Lord is blessing us with another to love. Check out our sweet announcement!

These two girls are my daily reminder that even on These two girls are my daily reminder that even on the hard days, God is so good to me. How beautiful that we caught a rainbow 🌈 in our fountain pointing to a sign that says just that on our bike ride last night?! I thought I may never have kids. Now I have these two and they are my world 🌎 (even though they make me a little cray some days 😖🥰). Love being a girl mom 💕

Happy birthday to my best friend, our Claudia! We Happy birthday to my best friend, our Claudia! We love you so much. When I look back over the last few years, I’m so freaking proud of the growth I see in you. You’ve overcome more than anyone your age should ever have had to and I know Dillon is so proud of you. Here’s to a new year filled with all of the good things that you deserve. Thanks for all of the girls nights, awkward convos, deep chats, play dates, dr visits and so much more. You’re a gem 💎 ! Can’t wait to do life with you for another trip around the sun. Love you so much 🤍
We said “see you later” to some very sweet fri We said “see you later” to some very sweet friends tonight. We have been blessed to do life with Andrew & Morgan for the last 5 or so years-Andrew even longer. Morgan was even in the delivery room for my rainbow 🌈 baby’s birth (as a student nurse). 🥹 I’m so proud of them for boldly stepping out in faith to do what God has put on their lives. We may be apart in body, but we will be together in spirit. Love you, Browder fam! 🤍
