It really works!

a couple of weeks ago i was talking to one of my cousins and he was telling me about a recipe he saw on pinterest for bread. the caption of it was something like "two ingredient bread, so good and easy!" turns out the two ingredients are self-rising flour and any type of ice cream you want.

that's it. now, i was pretty skeptical and thought it sounded like on of those "good ideas" on pinterest that in reality turn out to be a disaster. well, fast-forward to this week and a co-worker of mine sent me this two ingredient bread recipe and told me try it. so i decided, what's there to lose? that, and i wanted to see if it really worked. i was pleasantly surprised to find it actually did!

for all of you skeptics out there, this is why it works. ice cream is made up of eggs, dairy, fat and all that good stuff. when you combine it with self rising flour you have a bake-capable product and voila, two ingredient bread. however, i found that i didn't love the bread. it wasn't bad, it just wasn't my favorite. on the other hand, i had mixed reviews from my family  some loved it, some disliked it, and some felt how i did. i'm really glad i tried it, but i don't think i'll be adding it to my list of favorites.
