Make a Reusable Bread Bag

Emily at Saltwater Kids makes artisan bread (in 5 minutes a day!) and she also makes super-adorable reusable bread bags out of a dishtowel and ribbon (also in just 5 minutes). She wants you to make the bread and the bread bags, too, so she wrote a pretty tutorial and generously shared it on her blog. You know what's funny? This is the second time today I've heard about the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, both with glowing reviews. Mmmm, homemade bread. That sounds really good right now.

Project Estimate:

Dishtowel, $1
Ribbon, on hand
Sewing stuff, on hand

Total: $1

That’s a great bread bag. I LOVE the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. The bread is great, but the only problem is that when you make such a huge batch of dough and the resulting bread is so delicious, you end up eating a ton of it. And as my mom always said… Too much bread makes too much Jackie. lol

I am also a huge fan of this book. It makes the best bread, and I agree the only danger is in eating too much! Now I have a great way to store or share my bread too. Thanks!

I want to third the great reviews for this book and their blog too! I borrowed a copy from our local library and have the basics memorized so I can have really good bread whenever I want. Now I need me some of these bread bags to go along with the bread. Thanks for sharing!
