Bake don’t Buy ?

I started this post in January 2020 and since COVID-19, home baking has sky rocketed to the point that in early March flour and yeast became extinct species, eggs and butter were rationed and still the shelves are often bare of flour and yeast.  It feels like a big score when you find some.  

The two things that I find myself needing to remember, is that while I am still committed to ditching the plastic, I am also very thankful to the farmers and the various companies that provide baked goods.   Hopefully post COVID-19 we will be able to purchase without plastic.  

In the meantime, I want to share with you two recipes that have proven winners over and over and are super easy,  I am a lazy baker, so they are Pauline Proofed!  The recipes have been adjusted to work in an 8 cup Cuisinart Food Processor.  I told you...easy! :)

Chocolate Nutty Energy Balls

Easy French Bread

I finally got to finishing this post, as I'm waiting for my bread to rise and just popped in the oven.  I was really lazy today and did no pinching...it rose much higher today and I've got gaps!  So...maybe pinch!
