Bread

A lot of the bread on the shelf at your local grocery is full of unwanted "junk"!
HFC, soy oil, etc. So I started out on a trek to make the perfect "sandwich loaf".
I've experimented a little and am not yet satisfied. I know I will eventually get there with a little trial and error.


I have used a bread machine in the past but I really don't like the shape and size of the loaf. I also find it annoying that the drive shaft is in the bottom of the loaf! Once you add all the ingredients the machine does all the work and timing for you. This is good if you are really busy but if you plan ahead you can add a little effort and come up with a decent sized loaf.



I got this recipe for "batter bread" from a friend. While it is a good toasting bread containing eggs I am still looking forward to making a nice "sandwich bread". I have a whole wheat recipe from my friend along with another one from the desert culinary site. I am going to try one of those next week.
