Domesticated

There was a time when I would make fun of somebody for baking their own bread. Why in the hell would you go out and bake bread when you can buy it? Why take all that trouble to do it? Well then I read an article on Farmgirl Fare about how to make Cheddar Dill Beer bread in under one hour. There was also a recommendation to make the mix and give out the recipe with the mix and a bread tin. I thought that was a good idea so before I did that I wanted to try the bread.
Wow! Now I know why people make their own bread. Homemade bread right out of the oven is so completely different from what you would get at the store that it is not even funny! I am now contemplating how to modify the recipe and come up with my own creations. Does this mean that I am officially domesticated now that I have made my own bread?

Make your own Cheddar Dill Beer Bread

Ingreadients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder (make sure it's fresh!)

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried)
1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
12 ounces beer

Mix all the dry ingredients together then add the beer. Mix until you have a doughy mass and spoon that into a bread tin and bake at 375 for about 45 minutes (or until golden brown and a knife comes out clean when stuck into the bread). That's it!
