First, each recipe has mixing directions for using a stand mixer, a food processor, a bread machine, or by hand. Since I have each of these and have even mixed bread the old fashioned way with my hands, I like having all these options available.

Second, the recipes are more down to earth than many of the exotic bread machine cookbooks. They are more healthy and wholesome.

Very Good Homemade Oat Bread from Grama Barb (note: please follow yeast instructions for bread on the package purchased in your area) Pour 2 cups hot mild over 3 cups of Rolled Oats. Add - ¼ cup of Blackstrap Molasses, ½ cup margarine, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, 3 Tablespoons sugar. Mix. Add to hot mixture: 1 cup cold water; Stir in 1 cup unbleached flour; 2 eggs and yeast (yeast as prepared as package instructions directed) Slowly add more flour - up to 6 to 7 cups until dough is no longer sticky but has become elastic and fairly smooth. Proceed as for regular bread: KNEAD dough, adding a little more flour as necessary, until dough is smooth, elastic and no longer sticky (about 10 minutes). PLACE in lightly greased bowl. Turn dough to greased top. Cover with greased waxed paper and tea towel. I use a little oil on top to keep dry spots from forming. LET RISE in warm place (75°-85°F/24°-29°C) until doubled (45-60 minutes). PUNCH DOWN. Turn out onto lightly floured board and divide into 2 (or 3 - as it depends on the size of your loaf pans) equal portions. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. SHAPE each portion into a loaf. Place seam side down in 2 greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" (1.5 L) loaf pans. Cover with tea towel. LET RISE in warm place until dough rises 1 1/2" (3 cm) above top of pan in centre and corners are filled (45 to 60 minutes). BAKE at 350°F on lower oven rack for 40 to 45minutes. Remove from pans immediately. Brush top crust with butter if a soft crust is desired. Cool on wire racks. Tip: I always tap the top of my baked bread before removing it from the oven to make sure it has baked properly - if your tap sounds like the bread is hollow - then your bread is done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Facts about Bread
Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods in one form or another, has been one of the principal forms of food for man from earliest times. It is one of the few things in the world that has remained as an important part of our lives throughout history. It is a staple part of a healthy eating pattern as it is low in fat and one of the best sources of fibre, both leavened and unleavened, is mentioned in the Bible many times.
