are any of you putting all those "pinned" recipes to use?
a couple weeks ago levi was making cheeseburgers for dinner on sunday and we didn't have any hamburger buns...so i turned to pinterest to search for a recipe. i didn't really want cheeseburgers on sandwich bread! i found one, tried it out, and it worked! first time making bread for me!
i used this recipe from frieda loves bread.
the only thing i was confused about was where the recipe says "2 - 2 1/2 cups of flour" i didn't know if that meant two 2 1/2 cups of flour = so 5 cups of flour total? or just 2 cups to 2 1/2 cups, meaning add another 1/2 cup of flour if it needs it. so i just stuck with 2 1/2 cups of flour and it worked. so first you mix everything with 2 cups of flour and the rest of the ingredients, then let it sit for 15 min. and then add another 2 1/2 cups of flour. got it?
everything was homemade...and tasted pretty good!
then last night i decided to make banana bread...actually i was going to make it in the afternoon but procrastinated all day. so by the time i made it and put it in the oven it was after ten.
just as i was about to pour it into baking pans, i realized i put a whole stick of butter instead of 3/4 a stick. so i was telling levi that the recipe had 1/4 cup too much of butter. oops! but then he said remember a stick is only 1/2 cup of butter. which i knew, but forgot because i was too tired! so i added another 1/4 cup and then put the pans in the oven. then i remembered that levi said the oven cooks hot so i turned it down...thirty minuted later when i checked on the bread smelled burning bread i realized i turned it up, instead of down! ugh! this is why you don't bake late at night! i pulled it out twenty minutes early and then just scraped all the burnt sides and bottom off. actually the burnt bottom just stayed in the pans!
here's the recipe i used for Cream Cheese Banana Bread!
