Do you like the smell and taste of homemade bread? My mom used to make home made bread just about every time we went home to visit. She actually taught me how to make bread, pasty and a number of deserts when I was pretty young. It actually turned out that I made pastry dough better than my mom so I kind of became the family pastry chief for a long while.
When I moved away from home and started living on my own I still made my own bread and occasionally made pastry too. You know, pie shells that I could use whenever I wanted and so on?
Unfortunately, since we moved into the house I havent been making many homemade deserts, pastries or even homemade breads. Even though I know that homemade breads are generally healthier and have more fibre in them than store bought breads.
I guess I dont make bread, deserts or pastry very often because we arent big desert eaters around here. In fact, Ive never even been a big bread eater well unless its homemade and fresh out of the oven!
Still, I think I should start making some breads and more home made things again. We have a freezer, I can alway freeze them.
Once reason why Im thinking about home made breads today is because my sister is always talking about how much she loves her bread making machine. So Ive started to think about getting one myself. I dont find making bread from scratch all that hard, but maybe Id make it more often if we had a bread machine. Certainly theres some great
bread machine recipes out there.
Do you have a bread machine? If you do, how do you like it?
