Here’s a pretty simple bread recipe that I’ve made a few times!!
3 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp instant/active yeast
1 1/3 cup cold water
Stir together the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the water and mix until you have a sticky dough. I use a mixer but you can mix by hand too. Spray a little pam in a big bowl, put the dough in and cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise over night. it should double in size. after the first rise take the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a rough loaf shape (doesn’t have to be perfect). Put it in a loaf pan and let it rise again for a few hours til it’s nice and big (big = more air bubbles and fluffier texture). Bake at 400 for 45-60mins.
Another tip I haven’t tried yet: when you put the bread in the oven, on a rack below it put a tray of water (about a half inch deep or so). The steam that’s created should keep the crust from getting to hard before the bread is fully cooked

My friend Maglia put me on to this. Literally so easy and goated and I’ve been consuming bread at a very rapid rate. 3 cups flour, 2 tsp salt, 1.5 cups warm water, 1 packet of yeast. Cover and proof for 2 hours. Preheat 445° oven. Flour and shape dough into round ball and cook in Dutch oven lined with parchment paper. (Lifehack for diy dutch oven, just use an oven safe pot and cover with a tray). 30 mins covered, 15 mins uncovered. I like to sprinkle some water onto the bread/pot right before it goes into the oven to create some steam in there. Scoring a square will give a good rise I feel. Also don’t knead it bc it will get spongy and dense. I like to err on the side of a dryer dough. YUM and less than 3 hours total.

I‘ve made this dough now for the fourth time and it’s truly the easiest thing in the world. It’s 5 ingredients and there’s no-kneading and no-deep-understanding-of-bread necessary.
And it makes the house smell so yummy and makes everything you eat taste yummier with it

Every morning. The night before, just mix up flour, water, salt and some yeast in a bowl. Cover it tightly somehow (I use a silicone mat with a skillet on top so I don't waste plastic wrap), go to bed.
Motivation to get up early. Spread a buttload of flour on a baking tray, shape the risen dough however you want (on top of the flour), bake at 425 for 15-25 minutes.
It is so effing easy. Mess it up a few times until you get it right and then boom, it takes literally no effort or thought. Cheap, fresh bread every day.
I use white whole wheat flour. If you have a scale, measure equal weights of flour and water. If not, measure twice as much water as flour. Ie: 2 cups flour, 4 cups water or whatever.

I feel like paying more attention to the tiny mundane things in life that bring you some joy can make a big difference in reining in some of the negative thoughts and feelings. easier said than done but ascribing more weight and meaning to even the tiniest things makes me feel generally happier and more focused on the present. like going for a walk and being in nature even for a few mins, seeing a cat in someone’s window, making yourself a hot chocolate in your favorite mug when it’s cold outside
