Our Daily Bread, family favorite Whole Wheat and Honey Bread recipe.

Welcome to Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household! It has been my goal to offer easy-to-make recipes that the whole family will enjoy, look forward to, and actually eat! Today we are offering the recipe we use for our daily bread. This is the bread my grandson prefers, and I could not be more proud! 

While it is not the quickest recipe to make, once baked you will have four loaves of nutrient dense bread for your pantry. Bread baking can be a challenge, so I tell you this truth, I did not accomplish this end result overnight. I have been a bread baker for over 45 years. And tender whole wheat bread, was quite a milestone to achieve.

In My Kitchen February 2025, Looking Back on January .

I just took a look back at the intro for the January 2025, In My Kitchen and I have to say, while I was surprised that January arrived so quickly, I am not sorry to see her leave! Turns out East Texas had a very cold month. January is usually our one month of winter, but yikes, this was a cold one! So in spite of not much of anything new happening around here, I am still happy to be joining Sherry for In My Kitchen!
