RE: Loafing Around

You can't beat fresh bread. I tend to just use my bread machine that does a good job as I don't find time to do it by hand. I can see the fun in experimenting.

Sort:  

There's nothing wrong with using a bread machine! I just don't own one. The Mother Thing started baking bread at home while we were still in Minnesota in the 1990s. It was partly to save money as we kids devoured sandwiches, french toast, and the like at a prodigious rate. She also wanted to use better ingredients than the mass-produced grocery store breads used. She baked five or six loaves at a time in the oven, and then froze whatever we weren't planning to use immediately.

I tend to use the rapid option on my machine where it can turn out a loaf in 2 to 3 hours so I can have it fresh for lunch. I know exactly what goes into it and it's cheaper than a premium loaf from the baker.
