Ree Drummond Admits Bread Baking Struggles on ‘Bougie Adjacent’ Podcast
For nearly four decades, Ree Drummond, the beloved host of the Food Network’s "The Pioneer Woman," has captivated audiences with her comfort food and homestyle Americana dishes. Despite her culinary prowess, Drummond candidly confessed on the "Bougie Adjacent" podcast that bread-baking is not her forte. “I am terrible at bread-baking… Very bad at it. Embarrassingly bad,” she shared. Her self-deprecating humor continued as she humorously lamented that she only manages to create a “really good” loaf after approximately 13 tries.
This revelation may come as a surprise to her dedicated viewers, especially considering the acclaim of her White Sandwich Bread recipe, which has garnered over 200 five-star reviews. While her bread repertoire includes savory creations such as Supreme Pizza Garbage Bread and sweet options like muffins and quick breads, Drummond remains critical of her baking skills.
Interestingly, one of her bread recipes, titled simply "The Bread," is less about artisan baking and more about a straightforward method for buttering and baking French bread. Although it may not be a complex recipe, it offers a nod to those who may feel intimidated by traditional bread-making, emphasizing accessibility in the kitchen.
Drummond’s humorous admission of her baking shortcomings resonates with many home cooks, fostering a genuine connection with her audience. It aligns with her philosophy of simple, relatable cooking, showcasing the notion that even culinary experts have areas they struggle with. As the Pioneer Woman brand continues to grow, Drummond’s authenticity only strengthens her bond with fans who can appreciate her candidness in the kitchen.
