  As I was looking for my bread machine book recently, the drawer was such a mess that I decided to clean it out.  While cleaning out the drawer I found this Milk and Honey Bread recipe for bread makers.  It sounded so good I had to try it.  So, I got my bread machine out, and low and behold the book was inside the machine.  Too late, I had already decided to try this recipe.  Besides, if this recipe flopped, I had time to make my regular bread. Milk and Honey Bread Recipe Ingredients :  1 cup plus 1 TBS milk   3 TBS honey (I used my husband’s honey, Pop’s Bees )    3 TBS butter (melted) 1.5 teaspoons salt   3 cups bread flour   2 teaspoons active dry yeast (not bread machine yeast) Instructions : Add ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.    Settings:    Basic with Medium crust  Size: 1.5 lb This bread turned out GREAT!!   As you ...

  My husband is trying to go gluten-free.  So before Christmas, we were trying to make gluten-free bread. One of our Christmas presents was a Hamilton Beach bread machine.  It has a gluten-free setting.  Nice, right?  So we have made a few items with it.  After all, it is tax season and I am super busy getting my records to the accountant. My husband has made several loaves of gluten-free bread.  We used the gluten-free setting.   He likes the ease of using the machine.   The bread turned out pretty good.   Gluten-free is a dense bread, so he mainly uses it for toast.   I thought I had a picture, but I guess not.   Sorry. I tried my hand at it and made raisin bread and pizza dough.   These were not gluten-free.  They turned out great.  So easy.  The machine comes with a booklet that lets you know how to use the machine and how to layer your ingredients for the best results. As you can see there are quit...

I recently bought a new bread maker, the Frigidaire 15 Program Automatic Bread Maker from Walmart, and while searching for a new bread maker to buy, I found  Amazon was advertising this collapsible bread slicer. I did a little research and discovered that majority of folks who bought it gave it a great rating.  So needless to say, I bought one.  My first thought was when I took it out of the box is that you can cut the bread in different thicknesses. It has  4 different thicknesses:  0.59”/ 0.79”/ 0.98”/ 1.18". It stands up well after opening. Once I had my bread ready, I held it up against the front of the slicer, took a long serrated knife, and began slicing. The slicer moved around a bit and I didn’t like that so I put some grip shelf liner under it. That worked like a charm to keep it steady. Plus you don’t have to worry about cutting your fingers. For every slice, I took each cut slice of bread and moved it to the cutting board.  VOILA!!  I ...
