Fresh-Baked Bread Like Mom Used to Make
I can still remember those days of elementary school when I’d run home in the afternoon at full speed, just hoping to catch a preliminary whiff of freshly baked bread. By the time I stepped over the threshold, it would be the only thing on my mind. On the off chance that my mother would let us kids sample a slice of bread with butter before dinner, my sister and I would beg with exasperation.
These days, I’ve passed on the timeless tradition to my own children. Our family became exceedingly health-conscious in recent years, and fresh baked bread is one of those simple pleasures with all-natural ingredients that really can’t be beat. Somewhat surprisingly, our new stoneware loaf pan resembles the one my mother used to use right down to the last detail.
The Best Pizza Crust
Whether you prefer your crust chewy, crispy, or a little of both, cooking the perfect pizza crust makes the pizza taste all the better. I’ve found that for a chewier crust, it’s best to set your oven on a low temperature, and place your pizza directly on a greased cookie sheet. For a crispy crust, I prefer to use a baking stone, which ensures the crust on the bottom becomes nicely toasted. I also recommend setting the oven for a higher temperature, and cooking the pizza for less time (just be careful not to burn it!).
Whatever you prefer, make sure to be careful taking your pizza out of the oven. If you are using a baking stone, be mindful that the stone will retain heat for a long time, and could still be hot even 15-30 minutes after it comes out of the oven.
