My husband LOVES this bread!! He has been begging me to make it since Sunday when it was all ate. I should NOT have halved the recipe! Thanks Krista for showing your techniques with needing and rolling!
I just came across this. I am a Widow with 7 kids and 1st grandbaby. I absolutely love to cook and bake but for the life of me could NOT make homemade rolls/bread to save my life but now it's like I've been making it my whole life! Love love LOVE!!
I grew up near Lancaster County Pa and remember this bread as a boy...also I remember telling the lady that made our communion bread that I liked hers better than my grandmas. So every communion she would bake me a loaf to take home after church with a wink and a "shhhh, don't tell grandma". Thanks, I will try this recipe :)
This is a hit!! So yummy. N I hate bread. Try the Amish friendship bread. U like cinnamon n sugar. My husband brings this bread to work ppl are jealous n the friendship bread they are making orders !!
Thank you BFH for this amazing recipe! I’ve been making it since you shared it years ago and taught my children to make bread with this recipe. My daughter even won a 4H favorite foods contest with your recipe. Wanted to get on and express my appreciation for y’all sharing it with all of us! It is the best!
I have been baking bread for 6 months trying to find a one that comes close to store bought and my picky autistic daughter would eat. This bread was perfect ! I halved the recipe and was able to use in my Kitchen Aide mixer. Thank you so much for sharing.
No wonder my white bread is never right - Krista kneads her dough so gently - with love. Over 40 years ago, an old woman told me to knead as if you were mad at your husband! So when I poke my bread just sits there, it is totally dense and good for nothing in the end! Great recipe, comes out right every time. As Brad might say, "Made with LUV.!"
Mouth is salivating! Imaging a thick slice, with real butter. Yum Yum Have to pull out soft white wheel berries to grind the flour. The end result reflects your wife's gifted hands of love for her family and charity. Awesome...got to do a test run. My golden sweet apple trees have produced a heavy crop...even shared a few with birds. Made 25 lbs of dehydrate apple rings and 30 lbs of apple dices for long term storage. Next project is to use the juice of strained, pressed apples ( 3 apple varieties) to make apple cider!
I can't believe how easy it is to make homemade bread. I have been making 3-6 loaves a week for the last couple of months and saved a ton of money. Thank you for your money saving videos! (Family of 7)
Kelly Dodge we are a family of 6 and I have been making my own bread too and it is so good and it does save a lot of money! it requires a bit more work than picking a loaf off a shelf but it is worth it! 😁
This is awesome bread! Tastes great, holds up to sandwhiches...even PBJ, and feeds my family of 10 with ease! Thanks for posting, keep up the great work!
I made this today. It was my third time ever making bread and I finally feel successful. I used all purpose flour and it still turned out great! Thanks for the great recipe!
All I can say is AMAZING!! My family was like NO MOM STOP!!! WHY ARE YOU SETTING YOURSELF UP TO FAIL AGAIN!!! .....BUT then they tasted it, they loved it. My son started looking in the trash to see if I cheated and used the previous frozen dough. 4 days later I tried it again ( just in case it was a fluke thing) and it worked!!! Thank you SO MUCH!! I've spent 30 years trying not to make cinder blocks or hockey pucks!!! Thank you both so much!!
Omg just found and tried this recipe and love it! My hubby will never want store bread agian. Thank you so much. I am new to making bread and this is really just as easy as u say! Thank you...can't say it enough!!!
Mrs. Krista, if you ever want to visit Florida, PLEASE COME TEACH ME HOW TO COOK!!!! lol...i was such a tomboy growing up, I learned how to work on wells and pumps instead of learning to cook!!! My husband is always telling me " YOU spent to much time in the mud and not in the kitchen " UGH!! Im going to go through yalls recipes and see if i cant find something to make his grumpy rear happy!! I know the bread will....thanks again for the vids, the highlight of my days!!!
Just made this bread using my freshly ground white winter wheat berries. This turned out so good we have almost between the 2 of use eaten 1 loaf lol thanks!
The bread was absolutely wonderful! Thank u very much for sharing. U gave me some tips that I didn't know, and helped me make the perfect bread. They turned out beautiful! I used one cup of sugar and it taste amazing! This is my main white bread recipe now. I put my dough in the oven w/ the light on. I didn't turn on the oven only the light, and it was doubled in less than an hour. Maybe, this will help someone. I know this trick helped me when I found out. Thanks again eye candy!! lol ....you have a lovely wife. Great cook too, I see. If anyone is interested I froze 2 loafs to bake in a few days. U can freeze bread dough for up to four weeks, I believe. After the first rise I shaped my bread and placed them in a sprayed pan and put wrap on pan and froze them. After several hours I took them out of pans wrapped them and put in bread bags. u can use Ziploc. When needed I will let them thaw and double in size then, bake on 350 for 30 min. I've never tried this method but I was told it works.
Oooo Looks decadent! I'm working out my no-knead refrigerated dough this week. Mostly for sub rolls. I normally use 1/3 to all whole wheat. As soon as my grain mill comes I'll be learning to bake with einkorn, so excited!
Made the full recipe for New Years. found a hot spot in my oven. I substituted molasses and three drops pure vanilla extract for the extra 1/3 c. sugar. oh my goodness, gave it the taste of my grandmother's bread. I'm sharing your video with my friends on Facebook. Thanks ever so much and God Bless.
I made this over the weekend and it's the best bread I've ever made. I will never use my bread machine again. It's so much lighter and less dense that machine bread. We are a family of six(4 teens), I hs, and care for our parents who are here too. Between us 8 and the children's friends dinner may sometimes be 12 or so. Thank you for sharing this video!!I have another batch rising as I type this. God bless you all!
I just found this video and recipe. And all I can say is OH MY GOODNESS you were not lying my family LOVED it so much they ate 2 loaves in one day!!!! so my husband said to go and get 25 lbs of Flour so I would have enough. I think you have created a monster of my husband and grandkids.
I forgot my husband loves large bread. He loves your bread !! I do have to cut this recipe in half way too much at my house. Even holds up well my other recipes my bread would last like 3 days. Your bread lasts I’ve never had it turn b4 I ran out of bread. Plz again more recipes???!!!?!?! 😊
Could you guys make a video on focaccia bread? I just found your channel today and I am thoroughly OBSESSED with you guys! Brad, you are hilarious, and Krista, you are beautiful and an incredible chef!!! You are clearly wonderful parents, and I look forward to continue watching your videos! Can't wait to make carrot cake, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, amish white bread and so much more! Thank you!!!
Used half the measurement. Got six huge buns and one loaf. Soft but has more substance than the fluffy airy bakery breads and buns we get here in Kerala, India. Everyone loved it. I used the kneading hook of my hand mixer for the first kneading. Thank you for the very clear instructions.
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing! My kids all asked if it was "sweet bread." My 6 year old daughter said she liked your artisan bread a lot better, but quickly added, "But I will definitely put some butter and cinnamon sugar on this baby!" 😂
I have to tell you that after a struggle with my stored flour(long story) I finally got enough to make half of this recipe. Got all my ingredients laid out and then I realized I had instant yeast. I am new to bread making and didn't know whether this would work or not. I also didn't know if I needed to use the same procedure or not. So, all ingredients ready and time before dinner is running out, now what? Well, I had to search out the answers of course using utube! OK, now I'm ready... I got it all ready, dinner running late now...Hubby gets on the phone with Norton, says he's got enough time while the bread bakes...55 minutes later, he enters the kitchen to find me enjoying my home made stew and bread! It was very good, thank you for sharing. Oh, and the flour, well let's just say storing it in a jar after sucking the air out turns it basically into rocks, yikes
I made this yesterday(3/21/20). 4 loaves of the softest, lightest, mouthwateringest ( is that even a word?) treat I've ever made! Yes, it's not bread, it's a treat. Thank y'all so much for sharing. It was super easy, fast and something I will do monthly. Now I'm getting excited about making the cinnamon rolls😀. May God continue to bless you and keep you, protect you and provide for your household.
I have been considering making are own bread, after watching these 3 videos I can't see why i can't. I remember growing up and my mother baking bread. She would save some of the dough and make doughnuts for us. All the kids in the neighborhood would magically appear, they could smell the bread cooking and knew doughnuts weren't far behind. Thank you for the videos.
Have used this recipe several times and absolutely love it gave some as Christmas gifts to school teachers and they loved it to! Thanks and God bless 😀
Yall. This is the latest of your breads I've made. I thought my husband was going to shed tears. So AMAZING. I made 2 loaves and some dinner rolls...or hamburger buns lol! The were gone the next day lol!!
it is actuslly cheaper to make bread thsn it is to buy it.And homemade last longer it does not get moldy .thats if it lasts we have bread thieves they are 18 & 14.they sneak in the night and pour syrup on it lol.
Yes, while the individual ingredients cost less than a mass produced loaf of bread, there is the other cost that can make homemade bread cost more to make, the amount of work a person has to put into it. For instance, I have made sourdough for a while now which 1) I had to make a starter for, 2) take care of that starter, and 3) have had to time my recipes. On the last part, upon combining the ingredients I have to let it sit for 4 hours then shift to a banneton for 12. and then proof for another 5. If a person wants to do this, they need to have those intervals open. So, yes and no for homemade bread costing less than store bought bread.
My 12 year old just watched your video and made this bread--and we're all so glad she did! It turned out awesome! We usually make wheat bread so this was a real treat. Thank you so much for the great recipe!
Christa, I made this bread recipe for the first time tonight and I am thrilled how good fresh hot buttered bread tastes! I have never made loaf bread before. I made 4 loaves and 3 are going in the freezer and I'll take them out as I need them. Thank you so much they turned out perfectly and tasted better than any store bought bread.
To make 2 loaves the recipe would be....2 C Water - 2/3 C Sugar - 1 1/2 T Yeast - 1 1/2 t Salt - 1/4 C oil - 5-6 C Flour. You can freeze one loaf for later.
I started this bread at 7am and just now (2:50pm) pulled it out of the oven.I.m a pretty confident bread baker but I think It's just so cold today that it took hours to rise. My patience is about to be rewarded, though. It smells delicious and I'm about to slice off a hunk. Thanks for the recipe!
WOW - Just WOW!! - I FORGOT that you all are a family of 9. There is only Hubby & myself. Guess I will be giving some away and freezing a couple of loaves. Waiting is so hard! (I'm at the first rise) Christa - you must have super upper arm strength, that was a workout!!! I have already decided I'm gonna have "funky" spots because that kneading process you have is going to take practice! Will add more when it's done.
+Big Family Homestead The loaves turned out beautifully! The house smelled like a bakery for a while. (It was aroma therapy for me) Hubby couldn't believe how much it made, and the taste was YUMMO! Thank you so much for sharing this.
I DID IT!!!!I can't even believe it. I'm not one who bakes but I did it. soo easy so good. just came out of oven and already almost gone. thank you for sharing this recipe
I've been making this bread for our communities yard sales and people love it. I've perfected it by using more flour on the counter and on the bread dough as I knead it as suggested by Mrs. Powda! It's so delicious!
I am so loving these bread recipes. Krista (I hope I spelled your lovely bride's name correctly..Anyway, Krista rocks. Can you bake more than one loaf at a time?
Patty K I bake my bread 2 loaves at a time on the same rack in the middle of my regular-sized oven. Just be sure the pans have at least 2 or 3 pan-widths distance between them so the heat can circulate properly. Been doing this for years with bread and cake pans, never had a problem.
I'm baking this recipe, literally, right now for the first time. The dough rose so well. I found out my old yeast was no good anymore, so I had to run to the store and buy yeast. So far, everything is going well. My loafs are in the oven. They have about 17 more minutes. I'm so excited!
This is the same recipe that I've been using. Had to convert yours to 1 loaf, just to make sure lol But it's so good! I made the Classic Sandwich Bread recipe from King Arthur yesterday and it tasted like disappointment; the bread in this video is the real deal!
I've been making Amish White Bread for years..its soo delicious. I just made two loaves last night and this morning I made thick-sliced French toast with it. Yummy!
it says Aug 30, 2015 , but just watching it now, It's 10 degrees outside, time for me to try this recipe. You two rock my world, thanks for sharing !!!
You said that you take it for communion bread, doesn't it have yeast in it and that would make it leavened and not unleavened bread? Just wondering if I missed something.
we are not in Africa nor in the time of the Pharisees that area is anywhere from 7-15,000 miles depending on where you live this yeast is single source not wild imo!
This Bread Recipe is Awesome, I have made loaf Bread, Dinner Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls with this same Recipe!! and it has not failed me yet! We Absolutely love this recipe...anyone that hasn't tried it yet, they need to.. it's my go to recipe from now on. Thanks Big Family Homestead for the recipes
Its my awco d time Ana I love this bread the sa dwhich bread and the French loads. Finally, I got my mixer back, and all my ingredients. I do alot but hand now that I zee her doing it so ever lightly. Built my co fidence back for baking and now I can bake bread again. Wahooo everyone loves it. I even turned your sadwhich bread into cheese bread was super huge. Wish I could post a pic. Prob could a made 4 loafs but he rose so super fast due ro heat in house. So not much I could do n q bit too much cheese. But I love cheese. Raving about your bread ppl are. Thank you guys truly, my onky go-to recipes 😊😊 it's 4am n I made 3 loaves, and the 4th I'm using fir some kinda blue berry bun pull apart things. I don't have the correct recipe, but the amish make ir n. I wish I new what it all was. Is the ebst thing uveever ate. It does have icing sugar on tip. I'm trying, but if love the actual recipe, bought it near me one day ans it's not the same as theirs, and nothing online I can find
Not necessarily. Some denominations use regular bread, others use unleavened... In my faith journey, I find the importance is in the *meaning* of the Meal, not the physical makeup of the specific elements. It is the same justification for using grape juice rather than wine. I mean no disrespect, and I am NOT saying anyone is wrong for their worship style. Go, worship, or not. 👌🛐
Have always felt super intimidated when it comes to anything bread, especially by hand . I was so proud of myself yesterday . Not only was it easy , it was absolutely hands down the best tasting bread I have ever eaten . This was a real valuable lesson to me , I can provide my family with great food with out a ton of chemicals. Never stop making your channel , you're inspiring . Wishing good things for you all with all that is going on at the homestead currently . Thank you again for sharing !
Girl, I have some dough rising now. I ran out of bread flour about seven cups in. I used all purpose for the remaining cups. Going to see how it turns out...lol.
Brad... I am making ou Amish sweet white bread as we speak. I made our italine white read and it was Fantastic. Thank you brother for the push to bake bread... Awesome
Hands down the best white bread I have ever made. Came out perfect and everyone loves it! My two teens even want to learn to make it. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh brother that’s bread I thank you 🙏🏻 and krista for sharing this beautiful recipe with us mere mortals tryed with homemade chorizo and cheese and also homegrown mulberry jam sublime my brothers May the Lord bless you with all the things HE knows you need in your live !!!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I just made this for my wife, granddaughter and mother in law. And they were all extremely pleased even got an A+++++ from the wife. It looks like I will be making this alot from now on. Oh and just got another amazing ,exquisite and delicious as I'm writing this. God bless
I have just 30 more minutes and I can shape my loaves to go into the oven. I peeked at the raising dough and it looks amazingly BEAUTIFUL!! Finally after 43 years of marriage I can confidently make bread!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and techniques!!
❤I love this bread, and so does my family 😊 I'm glad I found it again. I can now make it again. I all so,have a new kitchenaid .Just in time for Thanksgiving !
I tried it and it WORKED!Thanks not only for the recipe but expecially for all the motivation you give at the end.I am a almost 50 year old woman and never learned how to bake or cook.Ten years ago I tried to bake a yeast bread 17 (!) times and failed every one of it. I am still laughing at this.Never tried it again.But today: IT WORKED!!!
Karla Vlasta Hey! It must be a Carla thing. I've never cooked bread successfully, but last night I was so inspired by this video I made a couple of spectacular loaves. And yes, I'm almost 50 too!!!
Another successful recipe. Thanks Christa. At first I was worried with all the sugar, but have to say it is a tasty bread. Perhaps not an everyday bread because the hips will not be happy with me....lol. Will certainly use this recipe again.
I just want to let you know that I got your recipe from LINDAS PANTRY.....a couple of days ago and made 2 dozen amish rolls today and they were insanely easy and amazingly yummy so making another two dozen in the morning for a total pf 4 dozen for Turkey day dinner........ Thank you for the amazing recipe which will become my new bread recipe :)))))))
Flattening the dough and rolling into a log shape removes all air bubbles. Every slice is then consistent. My first loaf was perfect. Great tip! Thank you!
My husband LOVES this bread!! He has been begging me to make it since Sunday when it was all ate. I should NOT have halved the recipe! Thanks Krista for showing your techniques with needing and rolling!
I just came across this. I am a Widow with 7 kids and 1st grandbaby. I absolutely love to cook and bake but for the life of me could NOT make homemade rolls/bread to save my life but now it's like I've been making it my whole life! Love love LOVE!!

Thanks so much for the recipe.
Good for you, well done!
Love this video he’s making it fun
Absolutely amazing recipe. I have failed so many times trying to make bread and THIS is it. THIS IS THE ONE GUYS! Thank you! Soli Deo Gloria!
You wife is awesome 👏🏾
She does everything effortlessly
We are truly blessed!
you mean YOU are blessed ..what a woman
@@Bigfamilyhomestead are we to oil the pans and put oil on top of bread..I. think some one said that
No wonder my white bread is never right - Krista kneads her dough so gently - with love. Over 40 years ago, an old woman told me to knead as if you were mad at your husband! So when I poke my bread just sits there, it is totally dense and good for nothing in the end! Great recipe, comes out right every time. As Brad might say, "Made with LUV.!"
Mouth is salivating! Imaging a thick slice, with real butter. Yum Yum
Have to pull out soft white wheel berries to grind the flour.
The end result reflects your wife's gifted hands of love for her family and charity. Awesome...got to do a test run. My golden sweet apple trees have produced a heavy crop...even shared a few with birds. Made 25 lbs of dehydrate apple rings and 30 lbs of apple dices for long term storage. Next project is to use the juice of strained, pressed apples ( 3 apple varieties) to make apple cider!

+Lawrence Nachtrab NICE, thank you for sharing!
Yall. This is the latest of your breads I've made. I thought my husband was going to shed tears. So AMAZING. I made 2 loaves and some dinner rolls...or hamburger buns lol! The were gone the next day lol!!

On the last part, upon combining the ingredients I have to let it sit for 4 hours then shift to a banneton for 12. and then proof for another 5. If a person wants to do this, they need to have those intervals open. So, yes and no for homemade bread costing less than store bought bread.
My 12 year old just watched your video and made this bread--and we're all so glad she did! It turned out awesome! We usually make wheat bread so this was a real treat. Thank you so much for the great recipe!
Awesome video guys, glad to have found your channel through Linda's Pantry! As a good old Mennonite boy, Amish white bread rocks! Blessings
tucker196 Linda sent me too! Looks delish!
Thanks Tucker, glad to have you here ;)
Christa, I made this bread recipe for the first time tonight and I am thrilled how good fresh hot buttered bread tastes! I have never made loaf bread before. I made 4 loaves and 3 are going in the freezer and I'll take them out as I need them. Thank you so much they turned out perfectly and tasted better than any store bought bread.
Would you give the recipe for just one loaf please. Looks sooo good thank you.
Divide everything by 4
Rosalie Kiff simple math
To make 2 loaves the recipe would be....2 C Water - 2/3 C Sugar - 1 1/2 T Yeast - 1 1/2 t Salt - 1/4 C oil - 5-6 C Flour. You can freeze one loaf for later.
divide by 4 or 3
Rosalie Kiff awesome
I started this bread at 7am and just now (2:50pm) pulled it out of the oven.I.m a pretty confident bread baker but I think It's just so cold today that it took hours to rise. My patience is about to be rewarded, though. It smells delicious and I'm about to slice off a hunk. Thanks for the recipe!
+ChickenStamps YAY!
WOW - Just WOW!! - I FORGOT that you all are a family of 9. There is only Hubby & myself. Guess I will be giving some away and freezing a couple of loaves. Waiting is so hard! (I'm at the first rise) Christa - you must have super upper arm strength, that was a workout!!! I have already decided I'm gonna have "funky" spots because that kneading process you have is going to take practice! Will add more when it's done.
+usakiwi5222 HA! Let us know how it turned out :)
+Big Family Homestead The loaves turned out beautifully! The house smelled like a bakery for a while. (It was aroma therapy for me) Hubby couldn't believe how much it made, and the taste was YUMMO! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
usakiwi5222 o
I DID IT!!!!I can't even believe it. I'm not one who bakes but I did it. soo easy so good. just came out of oven and already almost gone. thank you for sharing this recipe
We knew you could!!! One step at a time, French bread next ;)
+Big Family Homestead most definitely!!!!
I we used that bread at my church for Communion, I'd have to go all Corinthian on them and eat it all! ;)

I've been making this bread for our communities yard sales and people love it. I've perfected it by using more flour on the counter and on the bread dough as I knead it as suggested by Mrs. Powda! It's so delicious!
I am so loving these bread recipes. Krista (I hope I spelled your lovely bride's name correctly..Anyway, Krista rocks.
Can you bake more than one loaf at a time?
Patty K I bake my bread 2 loaves at a time on the same rack in the middle of my regular-sized oven. Just be sure the pans have at least 2 or 3 pan-widths distance between them so the heat can circulate properly. Been doing this for years with bread and cake pans, never had a problem.
I made this today, raining and cool today in Oregon, turned out great!!! Easy peasy!!!
After I bake the 4 Loaves and let them cool, could I freezes them. Looks so good.Thanks
Yes. Make sure you wrap them well.
Yes, you can freeze them. I use aluminum foil but you can use plastic wrap too. I keep one out, then use the others as needed.
I'm baking this recipe, literally, right now for the first time. The dough rose so well. I found out my old yeast was no good anymore, so I had to run to the store and buy yeast. So far, everything is going well. My loafs are in the oven. They have about 17 more minutes. I'm so excited!
Hello Shannon
How are you doing today?
It doesn't appear as though you use anything to grease the rise bowl or your baking pan. Do You?
I still come back for these recipes. Thanks for sharing
This is the same recipe that I've been using. Had to convert yours to 1 loaf, just to make sure lol But it's so good! I made the Classic Sandwich Bread recipe from King Arthur yesterday and it tasted like disappointment; the bread in this video is the real deal!
I've been making Amish White Bread for years..its soo delicious. I just made two loaves last night and this morning I made thick-sliced French toast with it. Yummy!
can you save some of the dough and bake them later? if so how long do they last?
@Katastroofi Eelne I've tried to freeze yeast dough. Mine does not seem to rise properly for some reason when thawed. Not sure why?
I have made this several times using your recipe. I have to say it has got to be some of the best bread ever.
"To grease or not to grease?" That is the question. Through trial and error, definitely grease the baking pans.
The bread is amazing!!
it says Aug 30, 2015 , but just watching it now, It's 10 degrees outside, time for me to try this recipe. You two rock my world, thanks for sharing !!!
You said that you take it for communion bread, doesn't it have yeast in it and that would make it leavened and not unleavened bread? Just wondering if I missed something.
The church we were at did not care about leavening. But it was... fully leavened bread.
Dana Morris glad you asked this question because I was going too lol great minds think alike
Thought the same thing. The unleavened part was important since it mirrored the (bad) yeast of the Pharisees of which Jesus said we were to beware.
we are not in Africa nor in the time of the Pharisees that area is anywhere from 7-15,000 miles depending on where you live this yeast is single source not wild imo!
@@miehoen6212 Is this a video about baking bread, or about Jesus. LET these nice people show you morons how to bake bread.
This Bread Recipe is Awesome, I have made loaf Bread, Dinner Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls with this same Recipe!! and it has not failed me yet! We Absolutely love this recipe...anyone that hasn't tried it yet, they need to.. it's my go to recipe from now on. Thanks Big Family Homestead for the recipes
Hello Debbi
How are you doing today?
Hi love your videos. I watched the one you made om Amish sweet bread. But you didn't say what kind of flour. That is verry important. LOL Gail
I've been using unbleached all purpose flour
Yes a flour a number1 important !
Its my awco d time Ana I love this bread the sa dwhich bread and the French loads. Finally, I got my mixer back, and all my ingredients. I do alot but hand now that I zee her doing it so ever lightly. Built my co fidence back for baking and now I can bake bread again. Wahooo everyone loves it. I even turned your sadwhich bread into cheese bread was super huge. Wish I could post a pic. Prob could a made 4 loafs but he rose so super fast due ro heat in house. So not much I could do n q bit too much cheese. But I love cheese. Raving about your bread ppl are. Thank you guys truly, my onky go-to recipes 😊😊 it's 4am n I made 3 loaves, and the 4th I'm using fir some kinda blue berry bun pull apart things. I don't have the correct recipe, but the amish make ir n. I wish I new what it all was. Is the ebst thing uveever ate. It does have icing sugar on tip. I'm trying, but if love the actual recipe, bought it near me one day ans it's not the same as theirs, and nothing online I can find
I have my 20 qt roaster full of apple butter ready!
I love watching Christa make bread. She makes it look so easy!
I thought holy communion bread is suppose to be unleavened bread? The wife has great bread skills. Thanks
Not necessarily. Some denominations use regular bread, others use unleavened... In my faith journey, I find the importance is in the *meaning* of the Meal, not the physical makeup of the specific elements. It is the same justification for using grape juice rather than wine. I mean no disrespect, and I am NOT saying anyone is wrong for their worship style. Go, worship, or not. 👌🛐
Have always felt super intimidated when it comes to anything bread, especially by hand . I was so proud of myself yesterday . Not only was it easy , it was absolutely hands down the best tasting bread I have ever eaten . This was a real valuable lesson to me , I can provide my family with great food with out a ton of chemicals. Never stop making your channel , you're inspiring . Wishing good things for you all with all that is going on at the homestead currently . Thank you again for sharing !
did you use plain flour or bread flour?
Darlene Hunt one of the earlier comments said bread flour.
Girl, I have some dough rising now. I ran out of bread flour about seven cups in. I used all purpose for the remaining cups. Going to see how it turns out...lol.
First bread I have ever made. It turned out AWESOME! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Bread flour or allpurpose?
Bread ;)
I've been using all purpose. Do you suppose that's why the dough is so sticky?
This bread was so good! My family loves your videos 😎

❤I love this bread, and so does my family 😊 I'm glad I found it again. I can now make it again. I all so,have a new kitchenaid .Just in time for Thanksgiving !
I tried it and it WORKED!Thanks not only for the recipe but expecially for all the motivation you give at the end.I am a almost 50 year old woman and never learned how to bake or cook.Ten years ago I tried to bake a yeast bread 17 (!) times and failed every one of it. I am still laughing at this.Never tried it again.But today: IT WORKED!!!
YAY!!!!!! Way to go Karla!
Karla Vlasta
Hey! It must be a Carla thing. I've never cooked bread successfully, but last night I was so inspired by this video I made a couple of spectacular loaves. And yes, I'm almost 50 too!!!
Another successful recipe. Thanks Christa. At first I was worried with all the sugar, but have to say it is a tasty bread. Perhaps not an everyday bread because the hips will not be happy with me....lol. Will certainly use this recipe again.
I just want to let you know that I got your recipe from LINDAS PANTRY.....a couple of days ago and made 2 dozen amish rolls today and they were insanely easy and amazingly yummy so making another two dozen in the morning for a total pf 4 dozen for Turkey day dinner........ Thank you for the amazing recipe which will become my new bread recipe :)))))))
Well made your bread recipe into rolls :)
WOW! What blessing, thank you for sharing :)
I really enjoy watching your bread videos. You make it so easy to follow and I have learned a lot.
Flattening the dough and rolling into a log shape removes all air bubbles. Every slice is then consistent. My first loaf was perfect. Great tip! Thank you!
I had this bread years ago and so very much loved it , thanks so much I am going to make it and feast .
