Simple, European Style, Everyday Bread Recipe with Video

by my humble kitchen

There are many reasons that I’ve stopped eating whole wheat bread and I’ll certainly share them with you in the coming weeks.

I’ve got to admit, after eating whole wheat flour for so long, I had to get accustomed to the flavors in white bread. I also had to make adjustments to all of my standard recipes, particularly my morning pancakes and sandwich bread. However, since I’ve started feeding my children ridiculously good lunches for kids (follow me on Instagram), I’ve found that we no longer eat sandwich bread like we used to.

I found great local bread sellers in the farmer’s market, but the farmer’s markets would close in November. So, during the winters I had a huge shortage of my favorite thing to eat.
