Homemade Bread Night: Recipe + Everything I Use
Cozy Crusty Bread Recipe⬇️
Ingredients:
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
• 1 ¾ cups warm water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 ½ cups flour (additional for dough)
• 2 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• Olive oil (for pan + drizzle)
• Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until bubbly (this means your yeast is active!).
2. Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until smooth and combined. I used a stand mixer with a dough hook, but you can mix by hand too.
3. Cover the bowl and place in a warm, dark spot for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
4. Drizzle olive oil in your loaf pan and spread a little on top of the dough before baking. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
5. Bake at 400°F, covered, for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing (if you can wait that long). The crust? Chef’s kiss. Crusty, golden, and perfect with butter or soup.

The only sweet treat I love more than sour candy is marshmallows.

My favorite sweet treat is probably Russel Stover chocolate marshmallows, but I’m not too picky. Try out any of my recommendations for yourself to get hooked on mallow like me!!

Plant-based eaters and vegans, these are the spots in Chichester that'll dish you up a yummy meal. I eat mostly plant-based, and my daughter is vegan, so I've been trying and testing all the spots in Chichester for the last five years. These restaurants aren't strictly vegan by any means, but they are the ones that either offer excellent options, or that have one/two stand out dishes that make it worth giving them a go. Leave a comment if you've ever eaten at one of these restaurants and let me know what you think! :)
Linked are all the snacks that my vegan toddler has enjoyed. He's healthy and getting all the nutrients he needs but remember to always discuss their eating habits with a pediatric nutritionist!

I would call myself a WINO for sure. My happy place is Napa and if I could, I would live there. While that is not possible, I try to venture and try new wines whenever I can. I belonged to a few wineries from Napa and Sanoma back in the day and now I have a membership at a local wine shop to explore new wines. I definitely prefer REDS but a nice WHITE wine or BUBBLES are perfect in the summer, or for happy hour!
