A simple Loaf

I've had this box in my baking cupboard for a while now, sense the cinnamon raisin bread (which was only half eaten before needing to be tossed) I haven't felt like making bread. And if I did It was going to be used in my smaller loaf pan or even my cupcake pan. But with this meal planning thing I'm finding myself in need of full size slices, so I grabbed the box and began.

 I have to say upfront that I was not impressed with the instructions (unless your using a bread maker, they put more time into explaining that method), but with common sense it's easy enough.

It had to sit and rise so I busied  myself with another cooking project (baking eggs instead of boiling, more on that later)  Once it was baking it made my entire apartment smell like bread-y heaven and when it was done cooking, oh man it looked beautiful, it was so hard not to cut into it right then and there.

Once it cooled I made a sandwich for dinner and paired the rest of the slices, separated them with foil and put them in a freezer bag for later use. The bread was dense and chewy with the crumbly top, it was close to the french bread my mother would make from scratch when I was little.

I used some for toast the other morning, just went from freezer to toaster just fine (it took a bit longer to toast then the store bought GF bread that I used to keep in the freezer). All in all I was happy with the results, next time I'll have to use it as pizza crust and see how it turns out!
