Gift bread this season!

I think more and more people are accepting baked goods as gifts rather than asking for material things that just pile up and up. Not that there’s anything wrong with your gift of choice, but if you’re tight on a budget or just want to spread cheer in a new way, consider gifting fresh baked bread! 🤍

instructions WITH YEAST:

mix ingredients until completely combined. Let rest 30 minutes. Knead 10 min. Let rest 2 hours. Shape and put in floured banneton or oiled bread pan. Let rest one hour. Bake at 420° for 12 min, then 375° for 25 min. Let cool before cutting/bagging.

Instructions WITHOUT YEAST:

mix ingredients until completely combined. Let rest 1 hr. Stretch and fold set 1. Let rest 30min. Repeat S&F as necessary until dough holds a shape. Let bulk ferment - leave on counter until dough has doubled (for me usually 6-8hr). Shape. Let rest another hour, then bake at 420° for 12 min, then 375° for 25 min.

... Read moreBaking bread has surged in popularity, especially as more people embrace homemade gifts during the holiday season. Mini sourdough loaves, as mentioned in the OCR content, are perfect for gifting due to their delightful taste and charming size. To make a mini sourdough loaf, begin with 125g of bread flour and combine it with 28g of starter, 5g of olive oil, 7g of sugar (or honey), and 2.5g of salt. Add 65g of warm water and a touch of vanilla extract for flavor. After mixing, let the dough rise for about 6 to 8 hours until it doubles in size. Shape the dough into small loaves and let them rest for one additional hour before baking. This method not only creates wonderful flavors but also allows for creative variations—experiment by adding herbs or nuts to your dough for unique gifts! Homemade bread gifts can be beautifully wrapped in parchment paper and tied with twine for a rustic look. Including a handwritten note with simple storage instructions can make your gift even more special. Embracing this trend not only brings joy to the recipients but also creates memories for the baker, making it a win-win for all involved.

This is SO CUTE! I love giving homemade foods and treats! Does it require a mini Dutch oven to cook it tho?
