Thing a Day

[mightyjesse]

I wish I could post a link to a smell... My thing for yesterday was to find, download, and comprehend the instruction manual for my new-to-me breadmaker, and to use it to make a loaf of whole wheat bread... The house smells like fresh baked bread... Mmmmmm. The final product was a little heavier than I'm used to but, it was damn tasty if I do say so myself.

I ran the new toy on the kitchen floor so that it wouldn't be able to walk off the counter during the kneading cycle. The poor dogs were a little alarmed by the THING, entertained by the window in the top of the machine where they could see the food MOVING AROUND, and once the heating element started spreading the smell of yeast through the house, they COULDN'T STOP DROOLING. It was totally "smell-a-vision" for dogs....

Hehehe.

I recommend a tbs or two of gluten in all your yeast breads even if not called for in the recipe. It makes the bread lighter. Yeah, I'm down with the bread machine! It's a fabulous invention.
