Now I don't have the time. But when I did make it, it was so worth the time and money involved to do so! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>So, I hope you don’t mind me high jacking your comments for a second. I wanted to let you know that I’ve just published a post listing many of my <A HREF="http://overwhelmedwithjoy.blogspot.com/2008/05/sparkle-charm-boutique-now-accepting.html " REL="nofollow">handmade products for sale</A> through my new home-based business, Sparkle & Charm Boutique.

But it does take a minute to get the feel for it. <BR/><BR/>I make up to 10 loaves at a time.<BR/><BR/>But you know what? I don't use gluten. <BR/><BR/>And I guess this isn't the time for me to tell you that I grind my own wheat, too. huh?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hugs~Tammy and Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591163985710800183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-24483048802094082932008-05-08T22:46:00.000-04:002008-05-08T22:46:00.000-04:00I had a good chuckle from your bread pictures.

I must admit, you went further than I ever have. Making homemade bread just seems like so much work to me. That was until I came across the whole concept of No-Knead Bread. My family really likes this. While it takes some plannign to get it started, it takes next to no effort and pennies worth of ingredients. When you are feeling brave again, perhaps you could give it a try.<BR/><BR/>http://www.northofthe49.com/blog/?p=76<BR/><BR/>There is also a website called www.urbanhomemaker.com where the owner, Marilyn Moll has articles, etc. "counselling" people on making their own homemade breads and other healthy items. She has an excellent e-book that can be downloaded her http://articles.urbanhomemaker.com/index.php?article=344 (you can see the download towards the bottom of the article). The book contains a number of homemade bread recipes, but the best part of the book is her Beef Burgundy Simplified recipe. It is one of the most fabulous meals I make.<BR/><BR/>Michelle<BR/>www.northofthe49.commichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949946724599509890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22155253.post-71043979080997632572008-05-07T15:16:00.000-04:002008-05-07T15:16:00.000-04:00A bread maker I am not either, so I feel your pain...A bread maker I am not either, so I feel your pain, Dear.

I am right there with you as far as leaving those types of tasks to the professionals who can do a far better job than I ever can.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry about the organic honey. I know that stuff is liquid gold, and what a way to lose it.<BR/><BR/>That's why I want my bread maker back, especially for good pizza crust for the rest of my family . . . since I can't eat any of it anyway.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744373576631695655noreply@blogger.com
