Enjoy the benefits of making your own bread
spice. Even when making these you can very the ingredients used to make differently flavored bread. For an example the honey whole wheat bread can be sweetened with brown sugar or molasses for a different taste. I have changed the way that I make home made bread. Years ago I mixed it by hand but now I use a bread maker to do the mixing using the dough cycle. I then turn the dough out on a floured countertop and shape it into the size and shape that I want. Sometimes it is long and narrow and other times I make it into a round loaf. Then after my shaped loaves of bread rise I bake them in the oven. You will find some of my bread recipes in this lens. Check back because I will be adding more bread recipes over time.Check Out Some Breadmakers
At first I made bread with by hand kneading. Years later I purchased a Oster bread machine and have used it since. Lately I use the bread machine on the dough setting to knead and rise the dough. I have found this to be a great way to make bread. The dough cycle takes 1 hour and 30 minutes and after it is over I can shape the bread like I want, let it rise and bake it in the oven.
The whole house smells so good when you are baking homemade bread in your breadmaker or the oven!
