Bread Machine

I found a bread machine at my friend's rummage sale for $5 and it included the instruction manual with recipes!!  As I walked up to it (after it was pointed out to me), I thought to myself, "I'd take it for $5, otherwise..."  YES!  Just right.  

First attempt (1 lb. loaf):

I used old...gluten free flour and tried to substitute for the plain white bread recipe.  I still need to throw out the rest of the flour. Kj and I sampled the bit that didn't seem like a solid brick.  Just a tiny nibble...she kept asking for more and then all of the sudden it hit her.  "That doesn't taste very good."  Yeah!  Saved the brick to show off to Kevin as our first attempt.

Well, good thing I didn't give up after one try! 

Second attempt (2 lb. loaf):


Pretty and delicious white bread.  Ok, we'll go from here.  It was so easy!  Kevin says I can do this as often as I want!  Haha.  Oh, we tried some warm with butter...I should have gotten out the strawberry rhubarb jam!!  Tomorrow!  My goal is to make a sourdough starter and bake sourdough bread in the machine!
