Baking Bread At Home

 Most of my food related posts are on my food business website www.michelessweetsneats.com but I think it's important to share that I rarely ever buy bread.  I bake my own bread because it's cost effective and tastes really good.  We like a variety of bread but white is what I make the most it's my husbands favorite. I prefer a heartier bread such as sourdough, rye or multi-grain.  Most of the loaves I make for us is in a bread machine.  They are so easy to use and I get good results.  It takes 3 hours on the main cycle but that is fine with me because it allows me to do other things unlike making and baking in the oven.  The bread machine is used to make dough for pizza and rolls too.  When time allows I will pre-measure all the ingredients so when I want to make bread I just add the required water then dump in the mix. It's as simple as that.  Depending on what kind of bread I'm making it will be around $2.00 or less.  White bread is the least expensive to make.  I don't know about you but I love the smell and the taste of fresh baked bread. YUM!
