Ode to the Bread Machine
There you sat
Cold and rejected.
You remembered the day, long ago,
When you became mine.
A day filled with excitement and dreams
Of the smell of fresh bread spilling forth.
But alas, there you sat,
On the highest shelf of the pantry.
Until one day . . .
I discovered you again,
Wiped the dust off of your peek-a-boo window,
And filled you with grains of life.
The smell of fresh bread filled the house.
And you were warm once again
In your new home on the bottom shelf.
Anyone have any bread machine recipes to share?
I’ve been using this Best Bread Machine Bread from allrecipes.com. I need some new ones!










So fun! Alas, I have no recipes to share, no machine for me, i’tis not fair!

I have a bread machine, but have problems with my bread falling (short loaves). I did recently read that u should only use the machine to make the dough, then allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, and then place in your baking dish or whatever. Also good to know is only use non-iodized salt because the iodine attacks the yeast. Let me know if yours turns out well, I might try the recipes you are using!

Mine was wonderful!! Grant says that it is better than store bought, and “even better than the soup, Mom!” High praise, indeed!!
The only modifications I made to the above recipe was that I used 3 Tablespoons sugar instead of 2 and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt instead of 1. Oh, and I don’t have bread flour, so I just used regular stuff. SO yummy!! And, I did use iodized salt!

You have to try Soulemama’s recipe for who bread. It’s delicious. Everyone who tasted mine loved it. Just dump it all in the bread machine in order and you have yummy bread:

I love this recipe for hamburger buns: http://www.recipezaar.com/Homemade-Hamburger-Buns-Bread-Machine-80413 It’s the only one I make (and I won’t buy buns any more) and we use it for rolls, too. Shoot, I even bought 5lbs of sesame seeds from our co-op to use on these buns. Love. It.

Here is my absolute FAVORITE bread machine recipe!!! In fact I can’t even tell you what it tastes like on day #2 because it never makes it more than a couple hours out of the machine at our house
Pretzel Beer Bread
1 envelope yeast
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons gluten
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/3 cups skinny pretzel sticks broken in half
1 egg white
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 oz beer (some say you can substitute 7up or sprite I haven’t tried this to report for sure)
¼ cup warm water
Put ingredients in the bread machine in reverse order starting with the warm water and ending with the yeast then start the bread machine on the white bread cycle or the larger loaf cycle. The recipe comes from the Ultimate Beer Lover’s Cookbook.

Rolls(that actually turn out they way they’re suppose to): http://moneysavingmom.com/2010/01/bread-machine-buttery-rolls.htm
And smack yo mama they’re so good cinnamon rolls: http://moneysavingmom.com/2010/01/bread-machine-cinnamon-roll.html
Let me just say i am not an expert bread maker, really if i didn’t have a bread machine i wouldn’t make bread. I hate kneading, i have actually turned down great recipes due to the need for kneading. really i have a very active 7 yr old and a 8 month old & i’d rather be playing with them then kneading.
