In the Kitchen

Josh wanted to bust out the bread maker.  To make molasses bread.  He had to brand, so I thought, heck I can do this!  Poured in all of the ingredients and enjoyed the smell of baking bread for a few hours.  When I took it out realized, hmmm, the beeping that I heard must have been the signal to take the turning hook dohicky out.  Oh well, still tasted good!

While baking bread (and feeling totally like Laura off of Little House on the Prairie, well in the digital world with a bread maker) I was cranking out laundry, running the dishwasher, listening to podcasts, creating cards and downloading digital scrapbooking supplies.  Talk about a productive day!  Let's see Laura accomplish all of that without electricity!

The recipe from food.com(I thought it would be sweeter, but basically was a good wheat bread):

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons fast rising yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons quick-rising yeast

Remember to remove the mixing hook!
