Bread

[Danil54grl]

Don't waste your package yeast. After you have added yeast to some bread dough, pinch off one handful of the bread dough after the first rise and save it in an airtight container in a cool dark place. The next day thoroughly mix (knead) the old dough into a new batch of dough. The yeast will multiply and spread throughout the new batch. After the first rise, pinch off a handful of dough and save it. Continue this process each time you make yeast bread and you will be able to make bread for a very long time from that one original package of yeast.

Not sure if anyone has heard of it before, but this method reminds of Amish Friendship Bread (I think that is what it is called). It was passed around my family across two or three states.

And don't forget about making your own sourdough starter as well.

Can anyone put some reciepts for homemade bread? I love it but don't know where to start.
