Big Bake Day

Hours were spent today making homemade foods.  We got a freezer (finally) to replace the one that broke several months ago.  Now, I can finally bake and make homemade goods and have a place to store everything. 
For the first time ever I tried my hand at making homemade hamburger buns.  I got the recipe from Raising Olives.  I tried it out, and it was AMAZING!  My husband loved it!
So, I had all these homemade egg noodles drying on my dining room table, bread and hamburger buns cooling, and Tasha making bagels.  The house smelled wonderful!
I felt totally accomplished after working so hard to get some food stocked away in the freezer.  I'll probably need another day or two of baking to get totally where I want to be.  With the oppressive heat, I haven't been baking much at all.  In fact, we've had to buy bread a few times because it was just too hot to make any.  Today was a little cooler, but I turned up the air conditioning anyway.  I knew I had better take advantage of the baking time while I had it.

It is wonderful to make bread! I use the recipe for hamburger buns from Raising Olives, as well. If you press them out in a bit of olive oil rather than flour, you'll find the dough easier to work with as there isn't extra flour to work back in, and the rolls will have a soft, smooth surface. The oil also softens your hands!
