So midway through my day (working from home due to feeling yucky) I decide to take a break and test drive the bread machine.

I picked a super easy recipe (this one) to start with, threw all the ingredients in the order specified, selected the dark crust cycle, and wandered off to finish up working. Three hours, ten minutes and some swearing because due to only having one oven mitt I lightly toasted one of my hands in the process of extracting the result later:



And holy god, it may have come out of a machine, but I swear it is delicious in a way store bread just isn't. NOM NOM NOM.

My only complaint is that the dark crust settings on this apparently = SUPER CRUNCHY OUTSIDE delicious squooshy inside. But this is a very minor complaint. And a note to self, use the regular setting next time.

Next time might be either tomorrow or in an hour, depending on when I get the pan washed. BECAUSE DELICIOUS BREAD IS DELICIOUS.


I fully expect slavering hordes tonight. I KNOW HOW YOU PEOPLE ARE WITH BAKED GOODS.

ETA @ 6:37pm: Loaf #2 underway. I have officially lost my damn mind.

I use a similar recipe but without milk and vegetable oil instead of butter. I've found I get better results by using regular yeast and proofing it in the water before I start. It tends to give me more consistent results. I can also use less yeast than the recipe calls for if I do this.
