I forgot that Kevin has bread going in the bread maker. As I was reading your reply, I was smelling bread and thought my imagination was working overtime!
It's very satisfying to make bread by hand from scratch, but I'm sure the machine bread tastes just as good. And if you start to get disappointed in yourself for no longer making it from scratch because you have a machine, you can always find other good stuff to bake.
I've heard from people that it tastes just as good. I have been looking at a baking page - I should think about it. On the other hand, this is the first time I've made bread since the summer, so I'll wait. Still - I've often though I should make bread on Sundays. Score!
This is the second recipe I've used. I've got another one that doesn't take as long (I don't remember making it rise twice). I think I'll use that next time. Fortunately, it's not like I can't find lots of bread recipes out there. :-)
I used to make bread for a living in St. Paul. I enjoyed playing with the dough, but not the lifting of 120 pound batches of dough out of the mixing bowl on the floor.
