    Great lens! I especially enjoyed the video on how to shape dinner rolls. So easy - but I never would have thought of it myself. Thanks! =)

    It's 7:28 am on a Saturday and I just ate a large bowl of Granola, and damn if that picture of Rustic Italian Bread invoked visions of butter slabs and honey making me hungry again! Damn you (nicely) Bread Head. LOL Great article! Now, off to make some bread!

    I once lived in Newfoundland, they would sooner go hungry then buy store bought bread. My wife is from Newfoundland, and bakes bread all the time. There is nothing like a fresh loaf of bread right out of the oven. Thank you for the recipes too.I shall have my wife try them.

    I enjoyed your lens. I make my own bread as well and it's quite a rewarding experience.

    I must admit that I am one to be afraid of yeast....

    But my sister is coming up to see me in a few weeks
    and she has promised me to teach me how to bake bread.

    Excellent work on this lens.

    I've used a bread machine because it seemed so easy. Now I'm willing to get more adventurous. Great lens!

    Neat tip! I love to make bread as well. It seems like a lost art. Great job.
  • jvpeck Sep 6, 2009 @ 10:37 pm | delete
    bread machines are great. just knowing how to make your own bread is priceless. i remember my grandmother kneading and working her magic in the kitchen when i was a small tot.

    great lens, gotta go I'm hungry now.
  • MissyandGruber Sep 3, 2009 @ 6:23 pm | delete
    Nice lens! I also love to bake bread. and I don't own a bread machine and have never used one! I've never seen that trick before for shaping rolls. I'll have to try it sometime!
  • ---Chazz Aug 31, 2009 @ 1:34 pm | delete
    Great lens. All I knead-ed to know to improve my bread baking skills. I am definitely NOT a bread machine user -- I find kneading dough is a great way to reduce tension -- and there is nothing like the smell of baking bread -- except maybe tasting it fresh from the oven. Just wish I had more time to indulge but making the other kind of dough in this economy eats up a lot more of my time than it used to...
  • biggly Aug 29, 2009 @ 2:09 am | delete
    Who kneads a bread machine when this great lens tells you how to dough it? OK I'm going to stop loafing around and make myself some tasty rolls right now!
  • BevsPaper Aug 28, 2009 @ 10:07 pm | delete
    A truly awesome lens! I can smell those rolls baking! Yum!
  • KonaGirl Aug 28, 2009 @ 4:11 pm | delete
    I also bake bread by hand, not with a machine, so love this lens. I hope you will add some whole wheat or whole grain recipes to these all white flour ones. 5 stars and I joined your fan club.

    This lens has perfect timing for me. I was at a Mennonite store this week and picked up some 9 grain flour that I want to try and make some homemade bread with. Wish me luck!

    I'm not a bread maker, but your lens makes it tempting! I do remember that smell, though, when my grandma made it once in a blue moon... wish they could bottle that or make scented candles of it! :o)

    Great Lens..the visuals and King Arthur Products are wonderful! I am ready to make some bread!!

    Annalise, you have hit my hot button: Bread!. Great lens. Very well done.
    Check out my recipe lens, I lensrolled, and favored you. 5 Stars.

    I would love to be able to make some nice crusty Italian bread. Could you describe how the dough should feel when it's done kneeding? Should it be thick and heavy, watery?

    Congratulations on lens of the day!
  • Mickie_G Aug 27, 2009 @ 2:15 pm | delete
    I never could get the kneading right.

    Great lens. I will come back and drool often!

    Ummmm, I can smell bread baking!! Love this lens.
  • Spook Aug 27, 2009 @ 2:12 pm | delete
    Ah! the smell of fresh bread straight out the oven and ready to be eaten. Must rank as one of the nicest pleasures in the world. I could do with some of that right now and congratulations on LOTD.
  • DoraArtDesignStudio Aug 27, 2009 @ 2:06 pm | delete
    I bake bread too! Right now it's too hot, but wait until the weather cools off and I'll be baking along with you. Nice lens, a 5*!
  • MiaBellezza Aug 27, 2009 @ 12:55 pm | delete
    Great lens. I've been thinking about making my own bread, so I'll definitely check out your bread site -> 5*!
  • Wysiwigs Aug 27, 2009 @ 12:27 pm | delete
    MMMMMMM, your bread looks absolutely delicious! Maybe it's self preservation that I don't make bread from scratch...I'm pretty sure if I did I'd weigh about 400lbs (there's nothing like homemade bread fresh from the oven :o) A lovely lens.
  • Jeff Sefton Aug 27, 2009 @ 12:19 pm | delete
    Annalise,

    In the picture of your Rustic Italian Bread is the bread on a cooling rack or did you use this rack in the oven as well? Forgive the newbie question, just had to ask.
  • KarateKatGraphics Aug 27, 2009 @ 11:58 am | delete
    hmm, need that dinner roll recipe! congrats on lens o' the day!
  • orioncooker Aug 27, 2009 @ 11:57 am | delete
    You are absolutely right in having the best ingredients. It makes all the difference in the world. I went out to my herb garden for some fresh rosemary just this morning. I think the best ingredients are fresh from the garden when you can.

    Bread, the "staff of life". So far, there is no aroma like fresh bread from the oven to please and awaken my appetite. Then apply country churned butter and enjoy the best life has to offer.

    What a great idea for a lens. I am guilty of using the bread machine also. However, your lens inspires me to try the real thing. Thanks 5* from me.

    All it took was a look at the first picture of the beautiful loaf of bread to set my mouth watering, wonderful lens, congrats on LOTD so soon in your Squidoo experience:-) I "lensrolled" you into my Doctrine of Signatures - Foodie Fun lens and the one on twittering recipes. Now I really knead some bread!

    I had no idea that flour settled that much, which might account for some of my less-than-stellar baking exploits. I also didn't know that King Arthur Flour is employee owned. Good to know! Next time I buy flour I'll be sure to go with them.

    Funny, I was just thinking this week that I really need to start baking bread again. Now, I had the bread machine in mind, but my psyche could do with a little knead-therapy, I think. Congratulations on LOTD for this lovely, inspiring page!

    Thank you! I know a lot of people who cheat with the bread machine. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than feeling dough in my hands. That said, when I am kneading something for 15 minutes, I often feel differently! :P
  • Ramkitten Feb 6, 2009 @ 4:32 pm | delete
    I can smell that warm, fresh bread right now. Really good job here, not to mention authentic.
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Feb 6, 2009 @ 4:10 pm | delete
    Great lens; the next time I make dinner rolls they might actually look better! I do cheat and use a bread machine though.
