The wheat bread dough comes out of the machine perfect, whereas the white bread dough is sometimes a bit sticky - maybe the humidity is different here, not sure, but I see you have the opposite problem with your dough... I love, love, love homemade bread; it's so much healthier (no preservatives) and less expensive than store bought. I doubt my guys (DH and DS) would ever want to go back; I know I sure don't!

Even if I bake my own, I'm the one who ends up eating most of it. (Yes, the man can pass up fresh, home-made bread). So although I surpassed my mother almost as soon as I started baking (many, many moons ago), I don't often bake anymore. *sniff* My DH doesn’t like bread.

Mine sure did not look like yours but at least it tasted better than the last several tries. Is your recipe on line? I tried making bread again this weekend with moderate success.

We used to live in NJ where Kaiser rolls are called "hard rolls" and we can't get them here in Florida. Anyway, yesterday, I tried to make a whole wheat bread but it came out rather dry, even though it tastes great. So now I'm going to try different recipes for whole wheat bread until I find one that we like. Normally, I'd opt for white bread but my husband is diabetic, and his diet recommends whole wheat (or whole grain) breads whenever possible. BTW, I also love your quilts! That's the real reason I follow your blog! I’ve been making Kaiser rolls based on the Perfect Loaf’s recipe for a couple of months now, because of your recommendation to visit that website.

I have to use a bread maker because I am challenged in the kitchen. Are there people who don’t like homemade bread???? I have to use a bread maker because I am challenged in the kitchen.
