A few weeks ago my husband bought me a breadmaker for an early birthday present. I’ve wanted a bread maker for a LONG time. I’ve made my own breads, bagels and pizza doughs from scratch for awhile.
I just didn’t always make them as often as I would have liked.
- It’s very time consuming to make any kind of bread dough. I have a good stand mixer, but even with that doing most of the kneading, I still had to be pretty hands on deck
- yeast and temperatures can be finicky. At least for me. I have always had issues with my breads rising correctly
- laziness? It was just easier to buy bread at the store
Since I got this bread maker though…I haven’t bought one loaf of bread! I’ve been making it all from scratch. I’ve made french bread, regular white sandwich bread, wheat bread, pizza dough and bagels!
I LOVE my bread machine–especially for making pizza. Honestly, we’ve been eating homemade for so long that whenever I eat pizza-place pizzas they seem greasy to me.
Another thing I like to do:
Make the pizza dough recipe, roll the dough out in a rectangle, spread it with crumbled browned sausage, mushrooms and mozzerella cheese. Roll it up jelly roll-style and bake. That makes a great breakfast meal. I’m taking it to a pitch in next week.
Oh my, that sounds REALLY good. Have you ever put eggs on it? Would they overcook?
I’m curious to find out what blog system you’re utilizing? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?
