Bake Your Own Bread

Bake Your Own Bread is a year long bread-baking adventure. The idea behind BYOB is that instead of running to the store to buy a loaf of bread, pastry or sandwich buns, you make them yourself.

BYOB is now hosted by Heather at Girlichef.

Check out the details on her blog.

Why should you bake your own bread?

Baking bread helps reduce food costs and relieve stress at the same time. Plus, homemade baked goods taste so much better than store bought. Not to mention, it’s fun and so satisfying to be able to claim that it’s homemade.

These days you never know when an emergency condition (weather or other) could prevent you from going to the store so this will be good practice.

BYOB Blog Roll

The 2010 BYOB bakers decided to commit to another year of baking our own bread and several new bakers have joined the fun in 2011.
