I've been making a lot of bread lately, stress baking, but also learning how to make different kinds of bread.  As a teacher in a past life, one of my goals with trying a variety of recipes is so that I can help others trying to stay at home not to need to make extra trips to the store for a loaf of bread.  I have been looking for recipes that work well for beginners, don't take a lot of ingredients, kneading, and very little or no yeast.  This recipe fits that perfectly. It uses only 1/4 tsp of yeast and a long rise time -- and two unexpected ingredients beer & vinegar.   I just took mine out of the oven a bit ago -- it looks and smells spectacular  I am going to have some with some beef stew tonight I'm making this afternoon in the oven.  It's one I made for a Winter Glamping Trip with some blogger friends.  My friend Mellisa Marine of Simplify, Live Love,  created a post for me with my recipe -- Click Here for Beef Stew Recipe. Stay safe my friends, enjoy and keep it simple.
