Bread Making

I am writing this post to experiment with adding pictures.

For Christmas last year my husband had a beautiful bread machine waiting for me under the tree. I had been wanting to make bread when Johnny got old enough to eat it. I also got the Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook. Upon opening the bread machine, I figured that the recipes that came with it were the best, given that the manufacturer had created them exactly for this machine. I liked the bread but it was very dense. So about a month or so later I started to get creative and wanted to branch out from white and wheat. I opened the cookbook and was amazed at all of the possibilities. I tried a plain white first just to compare. Tons better! Now I try to use a different recipe as often as possible.

Today was honey wheat and I added some chopped up dates for a little breakfast treat for the baby. It isn't really that dark on the bottom, just the lighting.

So, this post was my experiment with two things. I had a great success with a new kind of bread. It turned out very yummy with sweet little surprises. Also, it was a learning experience with adding photos. Note to self: 1. The camera has seen better days. This looked way better in real life. 2. The date doesn't need to be added to every picture. You need to change the settings.
