I don't need the bread, but it's nice to do something creative.

Easy Bread Machine Bread

Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110 – 115 degrees)
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all purpose flour (can also substitute with half whole wheat flour)
2 teaspoons instant active dry yeast or active dry yeast


Bread Machine Directions

Put ingredients in the order above into bread machine (you don’t need to stir it , just dump it in!)

Set bread machine on dough setting, and let it make the dough for you.

Once dough is made (it takes my machine about 1 1/2 hours to make), remove dough and place in loaf pan.

Let rise for about 30 minutes to an hour if you have time – sometimes when I don’t I just go ahead and bake it and it works out fine.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, and enjoy!

Note – if you’re away from home during the day you can let the bread machine do all the work for you, I just don’t like the weird shape that my bread comes out in when I use the machine so choose to make it on the dough setting and then bake it in a loaf pan.)


** This turns out with a sweetened cast due to the honey and brown sugar and it tastes LOVELY and has a sort of cake-like texture which I think is delightful!

A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory.
