I am a Bread Baking Babe, yes and you bet I am proud to be so.

What the heck are the Bread Baking Babes you might ask. I’ll tell you:
The Babes are the most gorgeous group of ladies scattered all over the planet who share one (among lots of others) great passion: baking bread.

What could be more fun than bake bread together in a group and talk about it. Choose a recipe once a month and see how it turns out in different kitchens situated in different countries, dealing with different measuring units and most important: different flour qualities?

I am only a “Baby” Babe at the moment, joined the group 2 months ago but I have learned so much already and had so many funny and helpful discussions with my fellow Babes – countless, priceless lessons I got.

The Bread Baking Babes is a closed group of about a dozen of active members and we like it to keep it small and simple.  So you can’t decide to be a Babe, you need to be invited. Every now and then the group does this – have faith if you are longing to join – one day they might choose you!

We love to bake bread and share our experiences while doing so.  Even tho the group is closed we are happy if you’d decide to be part of the whole fun and join us as a Bread Baking Buddy.

What’s this Buddy thing all about?
Every month one of us serves as the kitchen of the month, gathering all other Babes around her kitchen table and chooses the bread we will bake.
Every 16th of a month we all post about the month’s bread and the kitchen of the month invites everyone to join and bake the bread with us. If you decide so you will have until the 29th of every month to bake and post about it. Then simply tell the kitchen of the month that you did and send a link to your post.
The kitchen of the month Babe will then do a roundup with all the Buddies that baked with us and you will even earn a nice Buddy Badge to show on your blog as a little Thank You for baking with us!
