Homemade Wheat Bread!!

For the past couple of weeks I have been thinking a lot about self-reliance and food storage and knowing how to do some of those things like sewing, canning, baking (and I mean really baking like from scratch), building things... really just being SELF-RELIANT!!

To start I decided I wanted to start making my own homemade wheat bread!!  I have never made bread before (I have mad rolls from scratch, but that is it!) and I really wanted to learn!  My mom makes the best Wheat bread and it is so healthy and wholesome and it is just good!!  It took some preparation, but after I bought the bread pans, found a good recipe and made sure to get all the right ingredients I was ready.  Sunday morning I made my first batch of Wheat Bread!! =)  I was so excited the whole time I was making it because it just felt good to be trying something new and getting myself one step closer to being self-reliant!!  It was actually a lot easier than I had expected and it turned out really yummy!!!


And pretty too!! =)

I think I will keep looking at new recipes or tweaking the one I have to get the perfect recipe for us, but I felt very accomplished!!  My kids loved it and I loved the feeling I had knowing that I had made it!

Good job, that looks yummy! If you freeze it, it's best to wrap it in saran wrap and then put it in a big Ziploc bag. Then no freezer burn!
