Bread making!

So. I got a bread maker for Christmas a few years ago (3?) and since we've moved into our lovely new house (yeah, yeah, 1.5 years ago doesn't make it new news, but that's not the point) I've been making bread instead of buying it.

It's. Awesome.

10 minutes of ingredient dumping and forget it about it. Come back 4 hours later and you have bread and your house smells all yummy!

My favorite recipe is the Amish Bread recipe my mom found and gave me... edited of course to our liking ( I use 1 cup warm water, and 2 tsp bread machine yeast). MMMMM Yummy and so easy and predictable. I swear it comes out awesome everytime I stick to the recipe (The times I get excited and add other things it's a toss -up, but I've found that a tablespoon or so of gluten, wheat germ and/or ground flax seed usually doesn't hurt it :) )

So anyway - I saw this post on breadmaking today from Little House in the Suburbs and it made me smile and think about my bread making - especially since the breadmaker pictured looks just like my friend at home!

my next endeavor I think will be cinamon rolls... anybody have any good, easy recipes to recommend?
