I put off making my own bread for YEARS because it seems too difficult. I even went down the sourdough rabbit hole but could never get it right. The final straw was seeing all the extra additives in our store bought sandwhich bread… (and with 5 kids we eat a lot of sandwhiches). I found a recipe while scrolling one day, tried it out, made a few tweaks and it became a FOOL PROOF bread recipe for our family. I make 2 loaves every other day or so. This list should give you everything you need to get started, the ingredients & tools I use and of course the recipe! Let me know how yours turns out in the comments.

You'll actually notice you feel better when you drink coffee that's been roasted more recently than ones that have been sitting on the shelf. To tell the difference, fresh roasted coffee has a 'roasted on' date and other coffee has an 'expired date'. The fresher, the more caffeine content and better the bean. The lighter the roast, the more coffee. I usually do light or medium roasts, maybe breakfast roasts.
