Do you enjoy baking? What is your favorite thing to bake? Do you like to bake bread? What is your favorite bread recipe? Today is French Bread Day . . . if you like to bake homemade bread, this is a great day to bake some french bread!This year the Girl of the Year doll from American Girl has grandparents and an aunt and uncle who are bakers with their own bakeries. Grace, the 2015 Girl of the Year, loves to bake as well and wants to one day have her own bakery - as we learn in the story which comes with Grace.
In just a little over two months, on May 24, 2015 I am giving away one American Girl Doll and Paperback Book - Grace, the 2015 Girl of the Year doll (USA only)! If you live in the USA, are over the age of 18 and would like to be included in the drawing for Grace - which will be on May 24, 2015 (during my Month of Birthday Give-Aways), please comment below to let me know your favorite homemade bread memory! I actually live in the house my dad was born in. I remember sleep-overs in this house with my grandparents. My grandma often made homemade bread and if I was at her house when a loaf came out of the oven, she would give me a slice of bread with Peter Pan peanut butter on it! So yummy! Now I'm the grandma and my grandsons come here for sleep-overs . . . and they also love t eat a slice of fresh baked homemade bread!

My adopted grandma used to bake bread and homemade herb rolls just for me. I still miss them!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love it when I am making bread. They each get a little piece to shape as they wish and it's always soo delicious fresh from the oven.
ReplyDeleteI only have made bread using a bread machine. I have, however, made yeast rolls which are really yummy. I like to visit restaurants that have homemade breads like in Frankenmuth and Amish country. I follow on facebook and email.

My mom is always making sourdough bread. Brings back good memories of helping her in the kitchen as I was growing up.
