Bread, hot and fresh from the oven, with melty butter is one of my most favorite foods and memories. My mom makes a mean homemade bread—she calls it Hungarian Flat Bread. The story is that her mom, my grandma, was making bread for my grandad's lunch (he was a coal miner and farmer). He wanted it sooner rather than later and so Grandma skipped the second rise. It ended up cooking faster too, so flat bread was born in the family. And since Grandma and Grandpa were both from Hungary, we called it Hungarian Flat Bread.
I don't actually have that recipe handy, but here's a dandy one for bagels. And if you've never had a homemade piping hot bagel, you've got to try this! Definitely use the bread flour and set aside enough time, but these are sooo good!
Thus ends the bread post—craft, story and recipe all in one!
Happy Wednesday!

p.s. I'm over at a2z Scrapbooking today with a masking stencil idea if you want to take a peek and maybe enter our monthly challenge!
I like it! I love bread too. I like the story about your Grandparents. We get bagels often at a bagel shop but I never thought about making them.
ReplyDeletethanks, Karen,I didn't know they were boiled after baking, which is fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute image & wonderfully colored, Chark! Fun story about your grandma!
ReplyDeletethanks, Greta...who knows if these stories are true, but I like it anyway!
DeleteOoh there's nothing like warm homemade bread with real butter melting onto it! I think I might have to make bread today!
