Mmmm smells good...


Husband Deluxe bought me a bread maker for Christmas. Now it isn't a fancy one, just a very basic model from Aldi for the bargain price of $69, but it sure does the job.

We have been mucking around with several recipes but so far this is our favourite one so far.

Whole Wheat Bread


1 3/4 cups water
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons Salt
4 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
6 teaspoons quick active yeast

1. Place all ingredients into the bread pan in order listed, except the yeast
2. Form a small well in the flour & pour the yeast in.
3. Place the pan into the bread maker & cook on the whole wheat program.

Husband Deluxe has decided to add a little olive oil to avoid the bread texture being too crumbly. Which is why you need more yeast in this recipe. It seems to work and the best thing is this bread is preservative 282 free, so is an excellent choice for Fuzzy Wuzzy.

I am planning on experimenting with making a loaf of raisin bread. Poor little guy. He always wants to eat English Muffins or Raisin Toast and they *all* have the 282 in there!!! If anyone knows of a 282 free raisin bread or English muffin please leave me a message.
