Mmmm...

Ok, so I did it! I made bread in my bread machine. Now, this isn't the first time I've done it, but it is the first time I've made "plain old bread" in order to replace having to buy a loaf at the store. I haven't figured out the savings per loaf yet, but when I do I will post it here!

Anyway, I found this yummy recipe for Homemade Wheat Bread that I just had to try. I won't leave the recipe here because I want you to experience the blog it came from! :)


I don't like to do the baking in the machine because I don't like the ackward shape it leaves you with, so I decided to try putting it in my bread pan. I expected that my normal sized bread pan would be too small, but I decided to try it (even though I knew it wouldn't work) and it did... perfectly!


Perhaps someday we will have to get a real live loaf slicer, but for now, I think my slices were pretty even. :) The loaf is small... but that should work out perfect as bread without those yucky perservatives doesn't last as long anyway. :)

So I wanted to use my homemade bread in last night's dinner. We were having left over Pot Roast with gravy... so we turned it into open face sandwiches. I put a piece of pepper jack cheese over a slice of bread and topped it with the shredded roast beaf and popped them in the toaster oven until the cheese was melty. I then placed them on their plates and spooned yummy gravy over top! After this pictures was taken we both decided it needed more gravy! :)

I highly recommend it... the bread was even tasty by itself... and wonderfully healthy. How often can you say that about healthy bread... that it tastes good all by itself!

Have a blessed day!
