3 minute homemade bread





The Back Story:
18 months ago I convinced Jon to help me find a bread machine. I swore up and down that I'd use it. We bought one (at the DI because heaven knows i'm not going to pay full price for a breadmachine that I may or may not use) for 15 or 20 bucks. A little Sunbeam one. Well I used it for about a month then it got shuffled away. Recently I found it again and in an overall effort to cook more, I decided to find a good bread machine recipe. One that wasn't as dense as a rock.

So for the last 2 months I've been playing with recipes. I finally made one that rocks. Converting a recipe for HAM BUNS from the FAT SISTERS COOKBOOK, here it is.


1 Cup warm water
.7 TBSP (guesstimate here) yeast
1/5 Cup sugar
1/5 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 medium egg
Mix together, add to bread machine pan
3 cups flour
1/5 cup powdered milk
1 1/3 tsp salt

Set machine to regular and that's it. the bread comes out with a light crust, spongy texture, and just slightly sweet.

It takes 3 minutes to put together and there is no clean up!

I am in love with it! Plus then my house smells like bread several times a week, not a bad deal.

Uhh..your picture makes me want to eat bread for every meal.

I try a new recipe every week to keep cooking a little more interesting. I tend to get bored. I'm gonna try this one for my weekly new one.

Thanks
