This past weekend, my Mom was nice enough to grab a bread maker for me at the local thrift store. Only $10! I was really excited to make my first loaf, so I cleaned the machine and downloaded the manual off the web.

Isn’t she pretty? It bakes decent sized loaves, and I can set it 12 hours in advance. On Monday night, I threw in the ingredients for basic white bread and set it to be ready at 9 am.
 |
I woke up around 8:30, to the smell of warm bread. This happy little bubble was growing!
 |
Just a little while later — all done! I have to admit, I was skeptical about this little machine. Could the tiny mixing flipper inside really do all the work?
 |
Voila! It looks like bread… on the outside.
 |
Hmm, the inside looks good, too!
 |
The final verdict: delicious! It’s very dense and filling, I’m guessing because it isn’t packed with fillers and preservatives. It’s nice to know exactly what you’re eating for a change.
The first loaf will be finished today, and I have to say, it was a success. It was buttered for breakfast, slapped on turkey and cheese for lunch, and toasted with rosemary and olive oil for dinner.
My next adventure will be a garlic rosemary loaf. Wish me luck!
