Ok this darn thing won't let me upload my pictures..I'll try again.


Okay I guess three times was the charm..it worked!


There is nothing in this world like the smell and taste of homemade bread!


What beautiful loaves of bread. Looks delicious! Thank you for posting them.


Thanks, MichelleM. That's a lot of dough! Thanks for the recipe and have a great time with your new mixer!


Aren't kitchen toys just the most fun! I remember a few years ago when my husband got his Kitchen Aide mixer for his birthday. He got so excited, didn't read the instructions and immediately burnt the motor up by mixing bread dough on high. Kitchen Aide had a new one at our door in a matter of days! Needless to say that never happened again. By the way, I've installed a screen smeller on my computer and your bread smells wonderful!


Hi Michelle,thanks for a wonderful bread recipe .......so few ingredients,and so easy with so many variations................:}
have a blessed day!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharing bread is so wonderful I bake bread all the time. It still fascinates me even after over 40 years of making bread.
Great job Michelle

Congrats on the new mixer :) and the recipe...Great one Michelle.Pictures look great.


Georgious bread!


Beautiful bread, Michelle!


HEY, I want one of those "screen smellers" grandmommy said she just installed - can I get that at Best Buy??? Wouldn't that be the BEST thing ever?!? Michellem, your bread has been making me hungry ALL day - those pictures are pure heaven to look at...warm bread from the oven - oh! I think I should have been able to flag it "beautiful" 5 times, since that's how many loaves there are, but it only let me flag it once. Those loaves are worth the price of the new mixer. Success on your first try - pretty good, I'd say...and now that you have us spoiled, we'll be looking for LOTS MORE bread recipes/pictures!!!!
