Oh how I love my bread maker

Seriously, whoever invented this contraption was BRILLIANT!

With about 5 minutes of my time filling up the loaf pan with a basic recipe and all the added morsels I can think of I just hit a couple buttons and walk away.

A few hours later the entire house has that amazing aroma of fresh baked bread that no candle can, well, hold a candle to! Just when you start to be able to smell it, you mouth starts to water just thinking about that first warm slice that will be all yours in about 30 minutes.

Then, when the aroma is too much to bare and you don't think you can wait any longer, about 5 minutes later you have an absolutely perfect loaf of real bread. Not that crappy, airy, non morsel filled stuff you get at the store- but a golden, thick, nutrition filled, loaf of bread.

And, while that first slice is oh so good with a bit of butter on top...the sandwhiches you make with this bread are to die for! Wow, if you thought that deli sandwhich from the grocery store was good-you would be blown away with even the simplest fixin's on this stuff.

I stand up and applaud the inventor of this creation-the bread maker. Well done!!!
