Oh, and it tastes good, too

Yes, those yeasties are sensitive creatures indeed.

Grats!!!

Woohooo on your first success with the bread making! Now I want to make bread! Which is so much better done by hand. My ex had a bread making machine and I could never quite the hang of it, I need to touch my dough. Feel it, respond to it accordingly.


And I will be getting the white whole wheat, great stuff. King Arthur ftw!

Thanks for the reminder Jo

Ok, so now I have the desire to bake today... ALOT..

Congrats on the success of your bread!! Yes it does take the water being of the correct temperature.. I have always used a bread machine.. Now I want to try out making it by hand...

I want to go buy butternut squash to make the butternut squash bread.. Damon thought that sounded disgusting.. more for me!

Just Jo - Can I please have your banana cake recipe? I have made banana bread for the household so much the past 3 weeks I am ready for something new!!

I made no bake cookies yesterday.. they were very yummy!! I had to put half in a container and cover it so I didnt eat them all... I too like allrecipes.com.

Ok... so I want to bake all day... what the hell??? lol..
