Italiancook the bread I make a lot is King Arthur Classic White Sandwich Bread I made this tonight but I sub one cup of whole wheat for one cup of white and I usually only do 3 cups flour total for each loaf and add more if needed.I made a double batch tonight and it was too dry so I just got some buttermilk out of the fridge and poured about a cup more in the bread to make it where it could mix well and I started with 2 cups of warm water.I guess that's why I needed more liquid probably needed 3 cups to start with a double batch.My bread baked up beautiful and very light and was 4 and a half inches tall baked in a 9x5 pan.This bread with the wheat added in tastes like Natures Own Honey Wheat which is the bread I buy for my husband he doesn't eat homemade bread smh.He is not a bread eater.I don't have a scale so I stir and fill my cup with a scoop method.I've never added the buttermilk to this bread till tonight but I think it'll only make it better.The recipe states to tent the bread after 15-20 minutes but I never do and it doesn't get dark,just right.

We had left over ham,greens,macaroni and cheese and potato salad.Cleaning out the fridge to take with me what I know my husband won't eat while I'm gone.And on the lighter side we celebrated our 48th anniversary today,wow how time flies.Keep them pots and pans rattling I'll check in at the end of the week.

My company has come and gone and I'm getting ready to go to my sisters tomorrow for a few days,so I baked two loaves of Banana bread today and they stuck to my pans grrr,I used the pan grease liberally but I had to dig the bottoms off,needless to say I was pissed.Making two loaves of buttermilk half wheat half white as we speak,sure hope it works out.I'll catch up with you all when I get back home,wishing each of you well.BakerAunt I hope your company has a great time,I know he'll enjoy that pie!

Thanks for the tip on the pie crust Mike.

[Joan Simpson]

I've got company coming in tonight so I baked a ham,canned mixed greens that I doctored up,macaroni and cheese and the coconut pie that I made yesterday,haven't cut the pie yet.

[Joan Simpson]

I missed this but we eat a lot of cheese too.

[Joan Simpson]

I've got a cousin coming tomorrow so I pulled a frozen pie crust out of the freezer and made a coconut pie.The crust had lots of butter spots but when I rolled it out it tore all up,so I rolled it up in a ball and rolled out again,it looks fine so I'm hoping it'll be flaky.
