Another food post... I was really excited, more like ecstatic, when I got a bread machine at my bridal shower last year. I have always wanted one. I just love a good carb. Well, since we've been married, I have made bread over and over... and over. And it has turned out GROSS every time. It always tricks me because it smells so good and I look inside and see one of three options: 1) the bread is burned, 2) the bread is deflated, and/or 3) it is HARD as a rock (I guess I don't see that but you get the point).
Anyway, I read reviews of the bread machine and people either love it or hate it. One reviewer said that people who gave it bad reviews probably didn't start with reading the instructions. So, I took out the instructions manual and read the whole thing. I was not going to let the bread machine defeat me. Anyway, turns out I was being somewhat careless in making the bread. Apparently you aren't supposed to use warm water but room temp water and you aren't supposed to let the yeast touch the water. I was just dumping it all in there. Anyway, TADA! I made BREAD! Real bread. Edible bread. And it was delish. I'm so proud. Go me!
