Bread Maker Bread

Part of my birthday gift from my husband was a bread maker! I've always wanted one! :) I finally got a chance to try it out this afternoon. I always buy whole wheat bread, and 'white' bread is non-existent in our house, but I wanted to start with something 'easy', and so I used the white bread recipe found in the booklet that came with the machine. It turned out SO good!!

My daughters LOVED it! I put a thin layer of Saskatoon Jam on for them (we picked the berries earlier this summer and made homemade jam, mmm) and they each feasted on the fresh bread for their snack before bed. Get this...my daughters NEVER eat their crusts. But this evening one of them said this "I'm going to save my crust for the last part because it's the best!" and "mmmmm I love the crust Mom". My jaw dropped to the floor! So...here is the recipe I used. I'm excited to try many other 'healthier' recipes, but this was a good start!


Bread Maker White Bread

2 cups Water (80 - 90 degrees)
4 tbsp Butter or Margarine, cut into pieces

2 1/4 tsp Salt
4 tbsp Dry Milk Powder
1 tbsp Sugar

5 1/2 cups White Flour

1 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast

1. Measure ingredients into bread pan, in the order listed.

2.Insert bread pan securely into unit; close lid.

3. Select "White" setting & appropriate loaf size (3lbs) and desired color (light, medium, dark)
4. Press Start button.

5. Once bread is done, use pot holders to remove the pan from the unit. Carefully remove bread and turn right side up.
6. Allow bread to cool on wire rack until ready to serve (at least 20 minutes)

7. Enjoy!!

  2. I agree Stacey! But does bread machine bread fall into the 'homemade' bread category? I felt kind of like a cheater ;) I'm thinking I'm just going to have to get over that though and bake on!

  3. Looks great! I also 'cheat' and make dough in there too. Makes it way easier with such simple clean up. Happy bread-making!

  4. Sabrina - My mom often mixes her pizza dough in hers. Now I've been searching the internet for 'bread machine recipes' and found all KINDS of fun stuff I want to try. Like pretzels! and English Muffins. And the list goes on.

  5. I don't think it's cheating... just multi-tasking! I do enjoy making bread though, so I got rid of my bread machine years ago.

  6. Sounds good! I want one now! Did you really have "dry milk powder" on hand?

  7. Stacey - I like the way your brain works!!

    Raquel - No I didn't have it on hand, but I purchased some especially for this. That stuff is PRICEY! Yikes.

  8. For the dry milk powder, you could always just substitute the water for milk. Or at least half of it. Just make sure it isn't cold, and don't use milk if you're using the timer option.

  10. Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I
    could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding one?
    Thanks a lot!

  12. I believe what you published was very reasonable.
    However, consider this, suppose you were to create a
    killer title? I am not suggesting your information is not good, however
    suppose you added something to maybe grab a person's attention? I mean "Bread Maker Bread" is a little plain. You should glance at Yahoo's front page and
    watch how they create article headlines to get people to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your website a little livelier.

  13. Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was
    extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for beginner blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

  17. Thanks for the recipe, Amber. I was wondering... my machine only goes up to 1.5 lb. Do I halve all the ingredients?
    Also, my machine's manual states that you can substitute dry coffee creamer for the dry milk. Much more cost effective.
    Thanks for the help! ;)

  19. Hey there. I wanted to drop you a water tap to verbalize my thanks. I have been watching your blog posts for couple of days and have got a lot of great shower mixer and also enjoyed the way you have structured your blog. I’m going to create my personal basin tap but I feel its too general and I want to focus more on specific topics.

  20. Pull out water tap for the kitchen is built with spray wand and modern design. Gone are the days when manufacturers use plastic spray wand as they accumulate molds and mildew on the nozzles. The pull out style of shower mixer is slowly replacing the previous spray wands and adds a modern and sleek look to any kitchen. Most bath and kitchen companies are now selling pull out basin tap and make them available in a variety of colors and designs in order for them to suit any kitchen and homes.
