Mennonite Bread Recipe for Beginners, non-Sourdough

[lr]

That is the simplest white bread recipe I have seen and it looks so scrumptious. My two teenage granddaughters live with me and I think this would be a good white bread for the three of us to make this week before school begins again next Wednesday. We get almost three weeks of Christmas vacation down here in our school district in Texas ! We have had fun but I am so ready for them to return to return to school ! I know you are a super busy woman but I am so looking forward to your cookbook and I already am planning on buying one for each of my grandchildren who range from thirty-four to fourteen years of age. I think that would be a great parents for their parents as well. That is a total of twelve books. That will be my 2024 Christmas presents. Shopping done for everyone ! Watching you continue to live and do things that are a part of your home roots, take me back to my childhood. Back in the forties and fifties we sill churned our own butter, made cheeses, culled the farm animals and processed them. We also baked all of our breads, noodles, cookies, etc from scratch and we were all the more healthier because of it. I very much enjoy your channel and still learn much from you. Stay warm and healthy this new year ! Grandma from Texas

I made the bread along with your video with 1/3 fresh milled hard red wheat, 1/3 fresh bread flour, 1/3 spelt and Olive oil, and it turned out delicious. Thank you for your great explanation! Thank you.

I am a retired chef and I love learning the homestead ways and I do not have any farm experience so I love how you utilize all of the food you grow/collect and purchase so there is very little waste.

I made this today and it turned out amazing. I have been making various white bread recipes trying to find something we would like as much as the soft bread we buy at the grocery store. Up until this one, they all fell short. This is the recipe I have needed.

I made this bread yesterday and it's the BEST I've ever made ... thank you!

I started making this bread recipe about a mint ago. I add powdered milk to the recipe because I like the flavor it adds to the bread. This recipe is wonderful, and I have beautiful loaves of sandwiche bread! Thank you, Ruth Ann!

I got a mixer like that for an early birthday gift this year What a game changer Thank you for your inspirational bread making videos Love your sweet family

I’ve just discovered your channel! What I love the most, besides your yummy recipes, is that you are REAL! You don’t care if everything is perfect. You don’t re-shoot something if it’s not perfect. Thank you for being yourself and not fake! It makes me feel better about myself. ❤

Ruth Ann, you have made making bread less daunting and I thank you so much! I want to try making bread with ancient wheat, but I understand that the kneading process is a little different. I'll be on the lookout in YouTube for instructions. I think your idea of slowing down the rising process was absolutely ingenious! You are so smart and resourceful, and I truly admire that.🤩

Thanks to your channel my new Bosch mixer was just delivered! Bosch should show you some appreciation 😁

Thanks! Tastier, healthier, and cheaper than store bought bread!

It’s 1-16. I tried your bread recipe yesterday. It turned out just like yours in the video. I never heard of checking the internal temp but I had to bake it longer to get it up to temp. No holes, no gummy spots!

Thank you for the pointers on making bread. I am ready to give it a try! Dinner looks delicious - here in NW WA state, we would call those a patty-melts, usually dipped into au jus like French Dips. Our sloppy joes are saucier with a tomato sauce base. Thanks again for sharing!

Your videos are so helpful. They are also very calming to me. I often watch just for enjoyment. I do enjoy using your recipes too! Thanks so much for what you do.

Always love your videos, but with this, one I can smell the fresh bread my mother would make. Many times, she would pinch pieces off and deep fry for supper. With butter and homemade syrup, it was heaven. Thank you for giving me back that forgotten memory.

I am so impressed! Grilled Sloppy Joes completely from scratch 🤯
I am looking forward to trying this bread recipe! Thank you for sharing your time and talents!

I made this yesterday. I got distracted, put half cup water, not cup and a half. Kneaded in my kitchenAid mixer, dough was solid and hanging on hook when I remembered the water shortage. Instead of starting over, I added a cup warm water mixed with half cup flour. It took a good 10+ minutes to breakdown the dough and mix. I think I added another quarter cup flour..then let sit, while I debated throwing away and starting over. As I was about to toss, I noticed it stretched like in your video. I decided what the heck, let it rise, then divided it into two loaves, it did rise again. Baked and was fine. So shocked. Hubby and son wondered what I was worried about. 😂 I’m making it again today, without seeing a squirrel to see how it should be. Thank you for this recipe!!
Made it again…more distractions. Both times this bread has came out beautiful and tasty. Family n friends both love it.

This was a very helpful video for a budding bread baker (or maybe I’m a wanna be at this point) like me! I am excited to try this recipe myself.

Thank you for doing this. We do not do sourdough so this works great for us. ❤
