For future reference, I am a carb-aholic! I love bread, cookies, pasta, pizza, cakes … there is just something about them that kindles fond memories for me. Over the years, I have taken what I have learned from watching my mom, grandma, and aunts in the kitchen – into my own. I have found there is a lot of wisdom in our elders … stuff you just can’t learn from a book … and then there are some things that I thank God for – like brilliant tools that make life easier. Enter my bread-machine. I love that thing! I use it 3 or more times a week on average. I love the fact I can just dump everything in there, push a couple buttons, wait a couple minutes, check the dough, and then go about my business for little more than an hour or so. Come back, shape it, let it rise and bake it. Easy peasy! This is a recipe I’ve used for a few years. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family!
