The best book I have found for bread is "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" by Peter Reinhart.  His approach is more than just dumping ingredients into a mixer.  It talks about the true science and art behind baking bread.  I highly recommend it!

BEER BREAD. Saw this group and had to put in my two cents!! I made the absolute easiest and tastiest bread tonight - it's main ingredients are BEER and FLOUR.

Here's how it's done:

mix 3 cups self-rising flour, a room-temperature 12oz bottle of beer (not light beer, the dough needs the sugar of the beer to rise properly), and 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Mix it, pop it in a loaf pan and into the 350 degree oven for an hour. Take it out, and put a half a bar of butter on top (cut into little squares), then stick it back in the oven for another 15 minutes. I put dried rosemary in the dough and it was pretty good.

So delicious, and sooo easy, everyone loves it. If you try it, let me know what you think!

I might have to make some bread again. It's been too long. I guess starting at 1am got me a little sick of baking for the time being. I'll have to pull out some old recipes...

Welcome Daniel, I started out by making bread in a bread machine and that was okay. Bread made by hand and in the oven is the far superior, mainly because the crust is not overdone like in the bread machine.

Good to see there is a group like this. I did a 4 year apprenticeship as a baker and I now hold the trade, haven't baked a loaf of bread since I finished my job there about 6 years ago. I like baking some thing's still. Do you guys make it by hand/oven or a bread maker?

One of my favorite things to bake is my Irish soda bread.  Obviously, yesterday was day for Irish soda bread.  So easy to make, so good to eat.

Its nice to see I'm not the only male baker in the world!! I think baking is one of the best things you can do. From cakes to your loved ones to finger biscuits for tea.

Just got involved in this community, and thrilled to see this group! My buddy got me a book about bread baking for Christmas last year and now my wife and I don't buy bread - I bake two loaves at a time every week. Great to see other men who aren't ashamed to bake!

Did some baking this weekend, myself.  Had purchased a triple-baguette pan some time ago but just got around to using it this past week.  Nice results.

Glad to see there's other men out there into baking and the like. I'm a chef by profession and I dabble in baking almost as a hobby. Glad to see I'm not alone.
