Cooking Games and Bread

If you’ve never made bread from scratch, it’s one cooking game you definitely to try. When you make bread, you’ll feel closer to your ancestors who had to make bread themselves every single day, day in and day out. Bread was the primary sustenance of the early settlers and even the more recent ones. Today we walk into the store to buy a loaf or two, but just a few decades ago you were more likely to find a loaf of homemade bread than a store bought one.

Bread takes a few hours to make, but it’s the sort of thing you can do in bits around other parts of your day. You’ll start by mixing up the bread dough with a spoon and then by hand. You’ll have to knead the bread dough to get the last of the flour into the dough and to work out any air bubbles. Once you’ve mixed it, the bread will rise for about an hour. Then, you’ll punch it down and it will rise again in the loaf pans. Finally bake your bread, and you’ll be able to enjoy the results of the cooking games immediately.
