I LOVE fresh baked bread. I am still trying to find a recipe for one that makes a soft crust..... |
I love my kitchenaid mixer for bread. That's really all I use it for. I have a bread machine but can't fine a recipe that anyone in my family likes that *bakes* in the bread machine (it mixes just fine for other bread). I have a pricey machine too...and it's in a closet LOL. All you need is the kitchenaid, a good recipe and a baking stone (a pizza peel is great too if you have one).I thought I could NEVER make homemade bread until I bought the artison bread in 5 min book. It's been a lifesaver (and money saver) for fresh bagette and boule breads in my house
