Me?
I let the machine do it.
I love my bread machine.
It takes all of the work out of bread production and turns out perfect loaves.
That's a loaf of whole wheat studded with craisins that I (the machine, actually) turned out yesterday.
Can you smell it?
SWMBO could and came in from the other room to slice the top off and tell me it tasted great, as usual.
As a special treat for my wife of 47 years, as of today, I have a loaf of rye with caraway rising in the machine now, soon to bake and send forth those enticing aromas.
I think I CAN smell it! I have a Breadman. It's probably 20 years old, but every now and then I get it down and bake some bread. The boys and Hick love it. We haven't tried craisins in the whole wheat.
ReplyDeleteMMMM, one of my boyhood friends turned to baking in his 40's, he and his partner's bakery make all the bread for Microsoft and have specialty bread shop in Seattle. Water injection ovens, etc. He sent me his basic recipe, I've made it a few times, lotta work. I gave to my daughter who has a bread machine like yours, she loves Tom's bread and customizes her loaves like you do.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary...any thing besides a loaf of bread for the big day?
ReplyDeleteJudy is making coconut shrimp for dinner. I went to the store and bought a six pack of non-alcoholic St. Pauli Girl. (We're simple folk these days.)
DeleteI love fresh baked bread.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing that machine can do is make pizza dough! Happy Anniversary! We aren't far behind you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary kids!
ReplyDeleteNothing matches the bread's aroma in a home...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and happy anniversary to both of you!
I gave up making bread some time ago, but have now begun using the machine for making dough for rolls and buns etc. So like you, I love my dough[bread] maker. Congratulations on the 47th. Hope there are many more anniversaries to come.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are craisins Mr C? Sounds like the kind of ingredient that a crazy baker might add to his dough - not raisins but craisins! 47 years? Some guys get less for murder!
ReplyDeleteDried cranberries.
DeleteYou have taught me a new word. Thank you.
DeleteYum! How was that rye bread? I bet it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteSWMBO liked it.
DeleteI scratched the hell out of my computer screen, but I guess it's broke, couldn't smell a thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I have a bread machine buried somewhere; guess I need to break it out and use it...
ReplyDeleteMy uncle and aunt have a breadmaker. They'll set it to start baking before they wake up, and they're awakened to the smell of fresh bread.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary juice and brudy
ReplyDeleteFunny but today I was looking at the bread maker that someone gave us and that we have never used. I was thinking how easy it is to buy bread but your loaf looks pretty good!
