Olive Oil bread is my favorite but it takes a bit more time and as I hate wasting food, need to plan it right so that the day old bread can be used for sandwiches, toast, etc. My neighbors and friends think I am "Martha Stewart" but I'm really not, I just follow directions very well and plan ahead.
A good bread maker is my secret because it does all the work for me. Combining, kneading and rising. All I do is fill it up with ingredients and then take out the finished dough. I never use my bread maker to actually bake the bread as not only does the bread come out in a strange shape that is not easy to use but the crust is usually too hard. Not to mention the strange cutout in the center where the dough hook is. I should call my bread maker a dough maker.
All this talk about bread has just helped me decide what to make for dinner: focaccia and some of the beauties that you see below.
Ciao!
Wow--I can almost smell it! I used to have a bread maker--used it primarily for pizza dough, actually. It busticated and I've never replaced it. I've been thinking about it more lately, wondering if I should get one again...this post is definitely giving me pause!
ReplySandy, my bread maker is an essential part of my kitchen. I keep in on top of my fridge so it takes up no space on my counter in my small kitchen. I found my latest one at Target for $40!
