Make Your Daily Bread (Part Four!) | The Big White Farmhouse

I live in a farmhouse on five acres in the country. It’s time for this suburban girl to learn a few things! Welcome to my self-taught Homesteading 101.

Round four of bread making! (For more bread recipes, see Post #1, Post #2 and Post #3)
Guys. I started working with sourdough starter last week and I’m not sure I’ll ever go back! I have never been so in awe of the miracle that is bread. The ritual of it, the time and attention it requires…it’s all amazing to me. Mark and I just re-watched the “Air” episode of Cooked (on Netflix) and I’m even more inspired to bake the best I can for my family.

Below are four new recipes that I’ve tried:

Oatmeal Bread

A new mix of two types of flours plus the addition of old-fashioned oats.
Consensus: Delicious!

Flour Tortillas

My friend Shelly makes her own tortillas and I finally made the time to try it too!
Consensus: So easy and SO good! There’s really nothing like a taco made with a warm tortilla right from the skillet.

French Rolls

I randomly found this recipe on a new-to-me blog and knew I needed to make these right away!
Consensus: Delicious! My kids were big, big fans of this one.

Easy Sourdough (using instructions from Artisan Soughdough Made Simple)

I was so intimidated by the sourdough process but decided that the lazy days of summer are the perfect time to learn! I read the directions over and over, texted my mom a bunch of questions and hoped for the best, hah!
Consensus: Amazing. I’m hooked.

Fun fact: Today is my blog-iversary! I started this little blog seven years ago today and have written 865 posts since. I’m so thankful for this little space on the web!
