With temps in the upper 70s and lower 80s this week, I have loved being able to keep the house open and enjoy some better baking weather.
On Saturday I had the opportunity to make some homemade French bread using the recipe that came with my Breadman bread machine. For years I resisted buying a bread machine, but I am thankful that I finally took the plunge a couple of years ago. The simplicity of just adding all the ingredients to the pan and letting the machine take care of the rest makes baking bread a much more pleasant experience.
I also decided to make some homemade wheat bread using this recipe from Allrecipes.com. Typically when I make this bread, I don't include the full amount of honey and I leave out the cornmeal, but this time I decided to follow the recipe exactly as written. With the full 1/3 cup of honey, I found the bread to be a little too sweet for my taste, especially for making sandwiches.
I plan to make some banana muffins in the next day or two since I have some bananas that are quite ripe sitting in the kitchen. Now to find the perfect recipe to try . . . .
