One of my absolute favorite pastimes is baking, especially bread. My first experience with bread happened when I was in college. I followed the recipe in the cookbook, except that I figured a longer rising time would be ok. I mixed and kneaded the dough and set it on top of the refrigerator to rise and headed off to my 8-5 job. My poor mom came home from work to find dough all over the refrigerator. I did not try to make bread again for years! Once I recovered from that traumatic event, I reentered the world of bread making. I started out doing it the old fashioned way, with two or three rises and loaf pans and the like until I was gifted this bread machine a few years ago. I tell you, if we ever have to evacuate for a hurricane again, this puppy is coming with us! This is the recipe I use for our sandwich bread, just a slightly modified version of the one that came in the booklet with my bread machine. I know that all bread machines work somewhat differently, so you may need to modify my recipe to suit your machine.
