It's bread time again. And it has a heavenly aroma!

It's screaming at me, that bread is. It wants to be cut and eaten right now, I just know it. With butter, of course.
I can't. First, it's too warm to cut correctly, and secondly, I do not need a slab of warm buttered bread at 2am. I have to be boring and responsible, as I have used up nearly all of my calories for one day, and I need to go to bed shortly.
But it's so, so hard not to cut into it!
This is pumpernickel rye. It's just the best!

Yay!! The picture shows up

It's so tempting to look at that yummy bread. Not thinking to eat it is impossible. I am sure it's going to haunt you in the dreams too and you will wake up super hungry

Why is it that the foods we love have to be so tempting?

@MarieCoyle I am a foodie. And I love so many of them and tempted by them. But my diabetes forces me to be disciplined.

I managed to stay out of it somehow. It definitely wasn’t easy!

I actually did! I proved to myself that I could do it! But it wasn’t easy.

Thank you. I love dark breads. They have so much flavor compared to just basic breads from the grocery!

that looks good. I have almost no patience with things like that. Depending on what it is I made sometimes I just cut into it hot or not and don't care how messy it'll look because it doesn't change the taste. Sometimes I'll let it cool but a lot of times I just cut right in and don't care how crumbly or messy it'll be. I was craving brownies the other night so I made them and while I could have let it cool to make them easier to cut I didn't and dug right in and have no regrets. I was good and only ate one brownie but I wanted it and didn't want to wait for it. The downside is I had set aside one for myself for later and my husband ate it. I need to learn to hide things better.

@MarieCoyle It really is a beautiful looking bread - now if only I could taste it 
. I'll have to look into breadmakers. It is a wonderful memory you've created with your kids . . . having mom's bread will ALWAYS be the best

Unfortunately, after years of making bread dough, my wrists really scream if I have to knead it. And a big batch is truly hard to knead. I am trying to save my wrists and hands if possible so I have been using the knead cycle in my breaddmaker for that, even if I do bake the bread in the regular oven.

I baked this loaf in my breadmaker. I don't always use it, but I did this time. I do freeform my loaves when I make more than one loaf at a time, and then bake them in the oven. (I own a wild amount of bread pans!) And yes, warm bread can be a horrible temptation. When the kids were young, if I made bread and they were around, I had to basically have an extra loaf for them to slice and eat right then--but they still remember that. So, it was worth it!

Oh, bakeries are dangerous territory. It's just hard to try to go past a bakery, anytime.
You should have protested and demanded donuts! or whatever they made that you loved!

It really is. But I love toast in the mornings, it's just something I've always enjoyed.

I still made my own, even when I was alone a lot. I just froze part of it each time. Most mornings, I do like my piece of toast. Thanks, it is really good!

I just utilize the freezer if I need to. Right now our store bread prices are just way ridiculous. Almost $6 for a loaf of rye bread, I may as well just make my own at that price. But I do get what you are saying, Judy.

That looks delicious and if I were you, standing in your kitchen. I would have cut it. You must have a lot of willpower.

Come on over, and we will share it for lunch tomorrow!
I had one loaf of bread made when my friend called Saturday and said she was coming unexpectedly. She loves it when I make bread, so I gave her the one I had just made, and the one I had made and froze. That left me with about 2 slices of bread, so I justified baking this evening. Usually, I bake earlier in the day, but this worked out--and for some reason, it just smells so good! Thanks, Judy.
