Wow, I can’t even tell you how incredible this video is and the inspiration I needed today. For a couple days now I’ve been working on getting an assortment of muffins made and into the freezer. When my husband came home from work yesterday I was pretty tired and hurting and I told him how clumsy and inefficient I feel in the kitchen. I felt so defeated and was ready to be done with stocking the freezer, until today. Your calm approach and verbal encouragement to troubleshoot potential problems went a long way with me. And I’m certain I wasn’t the only one who said, “yes, 🙋♀️ please, join me in my kitchen” when you said you wished you could show in person what you were explaining. I have made Ruth Ann Zimmerman’s hamburger bun recipe too and they were both delicious and beautiful! Kelsey, the work of your hands for your family and church family will be a great blessing. I hope as you celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, you are filled with great joy knowing, He Lives! God Bless you. ✝️
I can't remember if you've ever made sourdough English muffins yet. I made them a couple weeks ago, using the recipe I got from TH-camr "wipperwill holler". I baked them on my electric griddle, and they turned out beautiful. I highly recommend her fast and easy mixer English muffins.
I'm amazed every time I watch one of these massive videos from you - so committed to your family and friends on producing wonderful and tasty food. So glad I found your site and still love watching your relaxing but super productive videos!
Kelsey, wonderful video. Could you please do a video on your grain mill---how you chose it, how it works etc. Also your apron with the cris cross in the back---so cute. Could you give simple directions on how to make it. Also, how do you store your grains?? Thank you so much. You are so sweet.
I enjoyed this video so much. I have watched it a few times now. Today I made the white bread. It’s about to go in the oven. This video is so peaceful, like most of your videos. I learned a lot and for that I thank you!
Kelsey I’m so excited about this video! The Lord miraculously radically healed my body of celiac disease recently, so I’m now able to eat gluten. I spent years learning how to make gluten free items but I’m young enough that I never was a baker before I had my diagnosis. So it’s a whole new world for me now to try these different recipes. As you know, gluten free baking is very different and limited. So looking forward to trying these!!
Wow I don’t make bread just every now and then . You make me to want to try and do some now. ❤❤❤this video of inspiration. Happy Easter to your family.
I love watching you bake bread. I do bake bread but there’s only 2 of us so in much smaller amounts. Thank you for sharing your recipes and life with us it’s always so interesting and inspiring ❤
Thank you so much for these recipes. Ive made the maple sandwich loaf, delicious 😋. I've also made the hamburger buns, amazing. Total game changer for us. I won't ever buy hamburger buns again. Love your content. Thank you ❤
These all look so wonderful. You make things look doable! Those rolls...wow, they look so yummy. Have a blessed Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. He lives!
2 tips for you when using fresh, milled wheat berries. 1st tip- To convert your AP flour recipe over to milled flour, weigh your normal cup scoop of AP flour on a kitchen scale set to grams. Then weigh out your milled flour to that weight in grams. Everybody's cup of flour measurement is different. You will be more accurate weighing in grams. Store bought flour is more compacted and dense as opposed to fresh milled flour. 2nd tip - Allow your fresh milled flour 30 minutes to absorb the water before mixing the other ingredients in and kneading. Hope this helps. Love watching your channel btw.
bread making and baking is soo therapeutic! I have made my own sourdough starter (I still use active dry yeast in some recipes for convenience) and nothing is better than enjoying the fruits of your stretch and folds! Have a blessed Easter💜
I’ll use the last cup, half cup ish of the flour to knead my bread, the dough will take what it needs in the end!! Your first “bread for the month” video is my GO TO for literally everything bread I’ve made so far 💕
Love it! You're so correct about "time being hard to come by" ... That's why I'm so thankful you took the time to make this video. When I get a chance, I'm going to schedule a baking day and try to incorporate all these recipes 🙂👍
I am super excited to make maple oat sandwich loaf, honey butter rolls, crescent rolls, and Dutch oven loafs. You are the reason I started making my own bread, buns, English muffins, and bagels that family loves so much better ingredients. Some times my loafs of bread poof too big for bread pan can you offer any tips. 🙂🙂
I find it complicated to do the process of starters, so thus far I've made artisan bread, but my last one was dense. I'd like to make my own sandwich bread and a light artisan bread-I understand it's all a learning curve. thank you to whomever responds.
I am so impressed with all your bread making in this video and it inspires me to do something similar. They all look so yummy!Thank you for including the recipes and I love that you used yeast instead of sourdough. I wish I knew the ratios of unbleached flour to whole grain flour you used in each recipe. I’ve made Ruthann Zimmerman’s hamburger buns before, but they looked more pale, maybe that had to do with the whole grain flour you used? I love the way you think about giving to others in your cooking/baking and also the fact that you will not be eating any or much of this beautiful bread!
That’s my kind of day! Making bread gives me such satisfaction, kneading gives time to reflect and is so relaxing. The outcome makes for some great meals. Thank you for sharing.
I just printed your sandwich load and hamburger rolls. Will try them this week. I’m always looking for yummy sandwich bread - my grandson actually likes his toast out of homemade bread ❤. And good burger rolls and bread cost a fortune A question- do you slice all your sandwich bread before you freeze it ?
Just a suggestion: if you would use a pastry mat on your kitchen table kneading would be sooooo much easier. You would be using your body weight instead of your arm muscles. I have heard so many people complain about kneading wearing them out and I am pretty sure it is because their work surface is too high. I really enjoy your videos. You move right along without sounding "regimented ". I never feel "antsy" saying "just get on with it"!
Last I recall, you were having sinus issues. I hope you're doing better, sinus trouble is no fun. Also, it's called oven spring, and depending on how active your yeast is, it can be a huge mess - ask me how I know!
Great video, great idea, definitely have to plan for a baking of breads couple days. Haven't tried that hamburger roll recipe, definitely going to now. Thank you
...just stopping mid way to say, that use of a Bread Machine is a great way to make homemade bread, if one is short on time to do it from scratch/by hand.
I am amazed with all your health issues that cause you pain that you took on this bread venture for days. I love them all but I especially love the oat bread and the last rolls you made. But they all look so impressive! Question: Are you a stress cooker?
Lol, stress cooking. I do love to bake for my family and friends as a way to take my mind off of things. I have to keep busy or else my thoughts race. So usually it’s a lot of Jesus, family, making food and gardening!
Love your videos! I’m making homemade pita pockets for dinner tonight and made homemade hamburger buns a few days ago. You are an inspiration!! Can I ask where you got your apron? I love it!!
Another suggestion or two: use 1/4 tsp.of vitamin C per 4 loaves of bread dough as a preservative. It works! If you have a frost free refrigerator (and who doesn't) even in a plastic bag your bread will dry out. Double bag all your baked goods whether in frig or freezer. This is a real game changer. Credit goes to Marilyn at the Urban Homemaker. I get my Vitamin C powder from Country Life Natural Foods.
Love this video! I have two questions: 1. What if you do not have rapid rise yeast? Is there anyway to adapt the recipe? 2. My boys love when i fill the store brand crescent rolls and bake. How could I use your homemade dough to do the same thing? I’d much rather have homemade ones! Lol Could I freeze the dough, defrost, then fill and bake? Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and help! 😊
Thank you for sharing your breadmaking video video. I love baking bread. Do you have recipes for all of the breads that you made? 😊Sorry if I missed that.
Kelsey, 3 more questions. 1. I've never canned before so after I have canned, is it ok to store my jars in an unheated garage that gets really cold in winter and 2. can you can half gallon jars or are they too large for canner? 3. Where could I purchase the beautiful instrument that you used to slice your bread? Thank you sweetie
Hi! I can answer your questions a bit. For the garage- I wouldn’t do it personally unless you know it never gets to freezing temps in there. Half gallon jars are too big for most canning recipes at home. The exception is juice, like apple juice or grape juice. This is because there is a limit to the heat and pressure a home canner can produce, and a half gallon jar is too big for that upper level of heat/pressure. The center will not be processed fully and will potentially harbor bacteria or even remain raw. This will still be true if you find a home canner big enough to fit half gallon jars. The upper limits that a home canner can reach are still too low for jars that size. I can’t answer the bread slicer question, unfortunately. Good luck!
For the crusty Dutch oven loaf steam is key for the desired result. You can bake the bread on anything however it may not keep its shape well on something like a cookie sheet. If you have an oven safe stainless steel pot that will work too. Since you won’t have a lid to create steam you’ll need to put a cookie sheet or oven safe pan on the oven rack below. As soon as you put your loaf in throw 10 ice cubes on the cookie sheet and quickly close the door. That should give you the steam you need. Hope this helps!
If I accidentally threw in too much and realized it I’d personally up the liquid a little bit. It will still be bread regardless if you change other ingredients but the density and texture won’t be ideal. I’ve made quite a few of those loaves 😂
Bread does not contain milk or butter, or eggs. That's called a cake. It's flour, water, some salt and .. if not making sourdough, yeast. Just four ingredients. That's bread. No sugar needs to be added, the yeast will feast on the flour. Adding honey to anything that goes into the oven is also a waste, as all beneficial "ingredients" in honey get killed by heat. Just. four. ingredients. for. bread. 🙂
Have you ever considered making the dough, then freezing that, so you can bake it fresh when you want it? I've had trouble keeping breads from getting freezer burn or icy, when stored in the freezer, no matter how many layers I wrap it in. But, even when bread dough gets icy, from a longer than expected time in the freezer, the ice can be brushed off and the dough rises and bakes beautifully. The bread dough can be put in the fridge to defrost the night before, then set out in it's baking vessel to rise, while you work on your garden. During a lunch break, it can be baked, and you have fresh baked bread, with almost no effort! You likely have thought about that, and may even have covered that option in your video. I just started watching it, and was compelled to comment immediately. 😁🍞🍞🥯🥪🥙
I purchased an Upright Deep Freezer here for my home, and purchased a NON self defrost model, like the olden days...the guy at the store was confused as to why I would not want a self defrosting freezer...and I educated him on why - a self defrosting freezer using a heating element to melt the ice inside your freezer...then everything thaws, and refreezes, over and over...creating freezer burn and ice build up on all my meats and baked goods... for long freezer storage, a NON self defrosting freezer is best!
@@DH-qz2so I agree! I have two freezers and neither is frost free. Food can still get freezer burned, but not near as quickly. Vacuum sealing helps a lot.
I haven’t bought store bought bread in 2 years. I am 70 and will never go back. I’m on a rye bread kick right now! 😂
Wow, I can’t even tell you how incredible this video is and the inspiration I needed today. For a couple days now I’ve been working on getting an assortment of muffins made and into the freezer.

You're one of the only people I can watch the entire video 😄 so peaceful without being pretentious
I hear that little cutie Grant playing in the background makes this grandma's heart happy to hear little ones playing!❤️
I can't remember if you've ever made sourdough English muffins yet. I made them a couple weeks ago, using the recipe I got from TH-camr "wipperwill holler". I baked them on my electric griddle, and they turned out beautiful. I highly recommend her fast and easy mixer English muffins.
You are a good teacher!
Thank you for sharing your baking with us!

((drools)) the bread recipe vids are my absolute favorite!! Great job, sister ❤️
Heavy on the bread! 😮 I love homemade bread and especially sourdough for baking in the winter.
Kelsey, wonderful video. Could you please do a video on your grain mill---how you chose it, how it works etc. Also your apron with the cris cross in the back---so cute. Could you give simple directions on how to make it. Also, how do you store your grains?? Thank you so much. You are so sweet.

I love that we can hear your kids playing in the background! No tablet or tv sounds! Just kids being kids! Good job momma! ❤

Okay, holy cow those honey butter rolls look and sound delicious.
I appreciate the tutorial and troubleshooting advice you gave during this video. Thank you!

Thank you.
Kelsey, the bread knife you used is interesting! I’ve not seen a knife like that. Please share more about your bread knife.
Thank you.
Wow such great tips for bread making. Can't wait to try them out. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Great video.
Happy Easter to you and your family. 🥐🍞🥖 👨👩👦👦
I still only use your white bread recipe, and our new fav is the pizza dough, now a weekly meal 😂 I am going to try the cresent rolls ❤
I made the sandwich bread and it was a success! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love these baking videos. I have been making your bagel and bread recipes for my family and we love them.❤
Oh I’m so glad they are enjoyed! Thank you for watching ❤️
Yes we love you go bread. Been making it and adding different thing mixed in depending what I’m serving it with.
Very impressive! I have Jill's cookbook and will have to try the Maple Oat bread as well as those dinner rolls at the end. Yum!
So many things I want to try. Definitely the hamburger buns and the sandwich bread
I don't have the freezer space but when my family was growing, that's what I did.
great tip to cut the hamburger buns with a ring! Next time I'll give that a try. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️
this was great one for me baking home breads treat and all Thank you Happy Easter
Thank you so much for this video! I'm very interested in making the maple oatmeal bread, the french bread and the rolls! We love bread!
I just printed your sandwich load and hamburger rolls. Will try them this week. I’m always looking for yummy sandwich bread - my grandson actually likes his toast out of homemade bread ❤. And good burger rolls and bread cost a fortune
A question- do you slice all your sandwich bread before you freeze it ?
They all look so yummy I will definitely be making all of them . Starting with the maple oat and crescent rolls. Thank you Kelsey!!
❤️❤️❤️
I have a sour dough pre-ferment going right now to add to the dough later today. Then sit out over night and tomorrow two beautiful loaves!

Thank you for again nourishing us with you videos, and quotes at the end. Happy Easter to everyone!
Always ❤ your bulk bread baking day.
❤️❤️❤️
you sure do make good looking bread
Just a suggestion: if you would use a pastry mat on your kitchen table kneading would be sooooo much easier. You would be using your body weight instead of your arm muscles.

You are, as always simply amazing! Everything looks deelish..lol. Do you happen to have a recipe only of your videos for cheesy dinner rolls?
Great video!

Can't have gluten but I enjoy watching you.
Great video, much needed
So glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Tyfs, I’m looking forward to doing this for my family as well!
Can you tell me how you reheat each item? Or how you prep them when the are frozen?

Thank you for sharing your breadmaking video video. I love baking bread. Do you have recipes for all of the breads that you made? 😊Sorry if I missed that.
I keep it in a plastic bag! It will store for 3 days on the counter, a week in the fridge or 3-4 months in the freezer.
Do you have videos and recipes for the other breads in this video?
All the recipes are in the description!
I believe in a previous video you were canning butter using your crock pot...could you make another video.
I don’t think that was me!

Kelsey, I do not have a Dutch oven, what else can I bake the bread in?
For the crusty Dutch oven loaf steam is key for the desired result. You can bake the bread on anything however it may not keep its shape well on something like a cookie sheet.

It’s in the description ☺️
Just found it! Sorry and thank you!
@@natashaquintal8072 no worries friend! Enjoy!
Umm I want to try all of it! 😂
❤️❤️❤️
What would you recommend doing if you did happen to over flour you bread dough?
If I accidentally threw in too much and realized it I’d personally up the liquid a little bit. It will still be bread regardless if you change other ingredients but the density and texture won’t be ideal. I’ve made quite a few of those loaves 😂

lisagrafton2529 Do you think it would work better to vacuum seal the bread, pulsing so as to not crush it?
I purchased an Upright Deep Freezer here for my home, and purchased a NON self defrost model, like the olden days...the guy at the store was confused as to why I would not want a self defrosting freezer...and I educated him on why - a self defrosting freezer using a heating element to melt the ice inside your freezer...then everything thaws, and refreezes, over and over...creating freezer burn and ice build up on all my meats and baked goods... for long freezer storage, a NON self defrosting freezer is best!

You could freeze the bread first and then vacuum seal it. Less chance of squishing it.@@cynthiafisher9907
