You just need to get the recipe and instructions together and you will make great bread. Ann makes it regularly and it always comes out of the oven looking great. If you need anyone to test that first great loaf, just give me a call. I love good bread. Alfie...

Easy for you to say Alfie, but you don't know about my past disasters with bread!! If I fail today, maybe Ann might have some bread making tips for me. If it turns out good, you will be one of the first to know!!

My easy bread making tip is.......invest in a bread machine, follow directions and you will have homemade bread! I use the recipe book that came with my first bread machine and also have another bread machine book I bought. It calls for Bread Machine yeast but regular works just fine.

Hi Nile: I used to make home made bread all the time but it always turned out fine so I can't tell you what the problem may be with yours. Maybe you could get a recipe off the internet and compare it to your recipe. Are you kneading it long enough? Beef stew, chili, hot home made bread with butter, all my favourites.

I love fresh bread. It's funny because unlike my sister and boyfriend who are bread lovers period, I rarely eat any bread. I don't make sandwiches and can be in a room full of bread and not care to have any. However, when there is fresh HOT bread, I eat a ton. It is so delicious. My boyfriend and I are going for dinner for a late Valentine's Day celebration (we like avoiding the rush) and the place I chose is due to the great bread they have. MMMM I can almost taste it now. Good luck with your bread making. I'm available if you need a tester. Elaine Shuel

Well just to let everyone know, my bread turned out almost perfect!! I ate four slices, not all at once, lol, and it was so good!! Now I'm going to try making a loaf of French bread, and then maybe some cinnamon rolls!! I have to admit it was a bit touch and go there, the dough didn't want to rise again after I punched it down and put it in the bread pans, (maybe I punched it too hard) so I went on and started cooking them. It worked!!

I used to make bread regularly and it usually came out OK but as I have aged and gotten less and less motivated about cooking I use a bread machine. No need for ting the raising, punching down, rolling, shaping and letting it raise again and we still get the smell and taste. Spiritwoman ^i^

Hi Nile, my mother was a great bread maker. She used to bake beautiful soda wheaten and currant loaves. I'm sorry to say she didn't pass the gift on to me  I think the secret is in the kneading. . I have five sisters and none of us can bake bread like mother used to.
