Bread - Home baked
It isn't that we are particularly picky about our dinner rolls. It's just that we have not found any that we like enough to go through the hassle of shopping for it and then having to stand in the long line to pay for one loaf or half a dozen pieces of rolls.
So on a whim, I thought to make our own. The kitchen always has the basic ingredients : flour, yeast, salt, sugar.
It really turned out good for a first attempt. I have not reached the stage of proficiency that I care to identify what kind of bread I baked. It is just bread, with a crust, that came out of the oven in time for dinner.
Happily, we slapped butter on the still warm home-baked bread, and savoured it with our dinner of cold cut beef roast, mash, and slaw - all home cooked and prepared.
The faint smell of yeast and baking still lingering in the kitchen as we sat down to dinner was simply heavenly.

It's so great to have freshly baked bread isn't it? My dad baked bread once and we all loved it.
edpj - agree culina dempsey breads not bad. oh, the turkish bread! we have no access to it for long time since we booted the turk out of our lives.
wildgoose - just once? too traumatised to do again is it? haha
actually, my dad only cooked twice for us my whole life. surprisingly, they turned out fine both times. The bread was one of them. He decided only on the spur of the moment.
wildgoose - all the more special that he did cook for you :)
