You make all your bread from scratch, right? Do you make just the average loaf of "sandwich" bread? If so, have you done any cost comparisons for all the ingredients? Because a loaf of bread at Aldi is like, $0.79. Cant see how the fraction of a bag of flour and other ingredients works out to be saving all that much money. It's worth it on the 'gourmet' breads and other things. I love baking (though I hate cooking), and I will definitely be trying out the cheese bread. Does it make a difference to use the 'quick rise' yeast? I was wondering… You make all your bread from scratch, right? Do you make just the average loaf of “sandwich” bread?

The dough did seem a little stiff ,I only used 3 cups of flour. Any ideas? Thanks Linda So excited to find your site, was just thinking about baking bread and tried the

I was instantly hooked on your site when the first thing to pop up when I clicked on your link was the photo of the cinnamon coffee crumble cake! Yes, by some complete coincidence I found you on a WednesdayJ I cook home cooked meals every night for my family, garden and can or freeze our harvest, coupon like crazy to save money and really evaluate a new purchase before I make it, LOVE photography and am a scrap booking maniac…..but the one thing I was too afraid to try was home baked (things that need yeast and have to rise) goodies for my family. My husband grew up with a mom and grandma that always made homemade breads etc and my one attempt 10 years ago was a complete failure. Over the last few weeks as I have read through your post, old and new, I was confident I could at least attempt your Braided Cheese bread with my stuffed Manicotti meal I made last night. What happened…..it was a HUGE success! My family loved it, my husband raved and an entire loaf disappeared with our meal last night (my kids are only 6 and 23 months) so that goes to show you who ate the majority of the loaf. My husband said it was perfect but I know it wasn’t. I will give myself a 90% what was wrong…it didn’t rise enough and my dough was a little heavy, so I went back to your site to research my issue and because of your wonderful post and Q&A sessions I know I used too much flour. We won’t tell my family this I will just know for next time. So the moral of my long comment is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Your great photos, and I really do mean great, your incredible step-by-step directions, your problem question and answer posts and just your entire post on baking breads have turned this scared yeast and rising recipe lady into a homemade bread maker! I would LOVE to start composting for my garden, but I’m not sure there would be much composting going on in –30 degree weather in ND.

My braided cheese bread turned out great! Using skim milk wasn't a factor at all. Thanks for replying. The husband is excited I'm making our own bread and now he's making requests....he wants sourdough, wheat w/ flax and many others now - LOL :) Thanks Kristen.
