I read Ree Drummond’s blog The Pioneer Woman Cooks! almost every day. Most of her recipes are hearty foods, perfect for her family’s ranching lifestyle out in the country. The food isn’t dainty, but that’s not what you expect from her.
Ree specializes in dishing up items that are flavorful, fatty, and rich. Mini meatball sandwiches, pastas with thick creamy sauces, chocolate sheet cakes, and the like.
I enjoy looking at the beautiful photos of her dishes oozing with butter and sauces, and delightful desserts full of sugar. I live vicariously through those photos, since my conscience never (or rarely) lets me indulge in making such caloric, sinful foods.
Well, today, she’s really done it. She’s packed in more butter than I ever thought possible. Today’s recipe truly horrifies me.
It’s called “The Bread” and it only has two ingredients. Can you guess?
Yep… bread … and butter. Lots of it. One entire stick for each half loaf. Shut. Your. Mouth! Check it out here. I’m still in shock.

I hear ya, Priscilla! Love Pioneer Woman’s blog too. It’s part of my morning ritual. Today, when I ready about The Bread. The first thought that came to my mind was “Really? You actually need a recipe for this bread? Really??”. My second thought was “How about some bread with that butter?”.
I love The Pioneer Woman’s blog. All of it. But I’ve rarely been inspired to recreate the wonderful food she posts. I’ll just drool on my keyboard as a look at all that butter. Love the writing and the photography, but the butter is too much.
