Here's An Easy & Delicious Bread Recipe for Your Bread Machine
This recipe was given to me by a friend named Dora possibly as many as 16 years ago when I lived in Winnipeg. I don't expect either of us knew it would become the best bread recipe in my collection! However, it did and in my mind I think of it as 'Dora's Country Seed Bread.' She was given the recipe by her mother who found it in a newspaper and I am happy to share it with you now!

The Best-Ever Country Seed Bread Recipe
1 1/4 cups water
2 tbsps honey
2 tbsps vegetable oil
1/4 cup flax seeds
2 tbsps seasame seeds
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsps salt
2 tsps yeast
2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
- Cooking a loaf of bread in your bread machine is, as you probably know, a very simple affair. However, you will have to know your machine and follow the instructions for it. My machine requires that you put the wet ingredients in, then the dry ingredients with the yeast on top, especially if you are not planning on starting your bread machine right away. I simply load the ingredients in the proper order and four hours and ten minutes later, the house is overflowing with the delicious smell of homemade bread!
This loaf is just enough to feed four hungry people who love homemade bread as an accompaniment to a homemade soup supper.
"The bread machine could be called the greatest invention since and for sliced bread!"
~~ Robin Hood
Panasonic's SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker from Amazon
I chose to feature this Panasonic bread maker here for three reasons. Because it is Amazon's best-selling bread machine, because it receives very good Amazon customer reviews and because I believe the price is right. These three factors convince me that this is a good unit. Unfortunately, I am unable to recommend my own unit because I am not pleased with it.
The Panasonic SD-YD250 bread machine does everything you would expect a bread machine to do. It mixes, kneads, rises and bakes loaves of bread in three sizes up to 2 and a half pounds. It includes settings for various types of bread and has a delay timer. Naturally, you just place the ingredients in the pan and the machine does the rest.
Amazon Customer Reviews:
"The bread consistency is excellent." ~~ Henry Perkins, California
"You get what you pay for in this world and the Panasonic SD-YD250 is a perfect example. Quiet as a mouse. No jumping around the counter and whining." ~~ Anthony T. Curtiss, Minnesota
"...to the point, I'm thoroughly impressed with this machine. It is solid and quiet. I took the first loaf I made with it and sliced it to find an absolutely even loaf." ~~ Timothy Spears, New Mexico

I like to make mine by hand. i know how to do that. When i read the instructions for the bread machine I inherited from my mom I just get confused. When i make bread by hand it's easy to double a recipe if I need to.

Jimmie says:
I make all our bread by hand. I've had machines before, and I never liked the big hole it put in the bottom of the loaf. However, it is a real time saver for making dough which you can reform and bake in the oven.

Bread machine bread is as good as that made from hand and the ease of making it makes it the best choice.
AdrianaCopaceanu says:
I made bread by hand many, many years ago. But as soon as I discovered the bread machine, I haven't been without. We are on our 9th bread machine in 19 years, and wouldn't be caught without one. Making fresh bread every day is really easy with a bread machine.
