M is for mom - and a giveaway!
Every mom loves homemade goodies. In fact, as many a Mother's Day breakfast in bed has shown, moms (seem to) love homemade not-so-goodies.
My mom is no longer around, and theKid stopped eating carbs for a while so I suppose that if I want homemade bread, I have to make it myself.
I am counting on the rest of you, however, to get out there and make some bread for mom. You've got two days so you can start now and have plenty of time.
Even better, there's a prize in it for someone. (I bet I have your attention now. See how you all are?)
Here's the contest:
Bake bread for mom. If your mom is not available for whatever reason, bake the bread you would bake if she was coming over. Get creative and don't forget to knead some love into it!
When you are done, post a photo of your bread to the A Year in Bread group on flickr. Susan and I will select a winner based on criteria yet to be determined - the bread we would most like to eat ourselves, creativity, the best expression of loving mommy - we'll know the winner when we see it. (None of that random number stuff here, we are totally subjective!)
We're putting this up a bit late (Susan called me from the Bonding Suite and asked if I could post it since she's stuck in the barn with the cuteness.) so the deadline is a full week after Mom's day is over: May 18th at midnight.
What do you win? Well, only the very first A Year in Bread t-shirt.
What's that you say? You haven't seen our t-shirts? Well, that's because the very first one is going to the winner here, after which we will open up the store to everyone.
But if you want to be really cool, and get your shirt before everyone else - and I do mean everyone, Susan and I don't even have ours yet - you will win one. You know you want to.
Ready, breadie? Get baking!
Remember, post your photos on A Year in Bread at flickr to be eligible for the prize!

All lineups look very delicious! I am interested in the food culture of your country. And I support your site. If there is time, please come in my site. From Japan

I love fresh baked bread, freshly made candles, home-made preserves and lot of other home made treats. I don't always have time to do all this but the bread...yes the bread--there's always time for that. My newest bread goal is to be able to make whole wheat sandwich bread. Last time my bread was too dense, good flavor but not soft enough for my little ones to eat easily. I will be back to learn more. Love this blog.
Is the contest still on? I got sick right after you put this on, and am just now feeling like making bread. I have two beautiful loaves of Southern Mixed Bread with my own little twist that I made today. I will attempt to put pictures on later.

Well, I just reread the article and see that I am too late. It's okay because I just tried to put my pictures on Flickr, and couldn't figure it out. Never mind about the contest, I would have liked to have shown you my bread though.

Excellent!
I love it!
Happy day
I tried to make bread in the bread machine and had tragic results.
What about a contest for buying bread? :)
Homemade bread is wonderful, I will have to find a recipe to enter the contest.
I just ahappened to take some pics on Friday of my almost 5 year old son "kneading" bread. He spends 15 minutes punching the cr@p out of it. He adores this activity and it is great fun for us to watch him do it.
