Give us this day our daily bread
9 Nov
About five or six years ago, I decided I wanted a breadmaker. But I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it because everybody I knew who ever owned a breadmaker used it once or twice before it was put away forever. So I purchased one from a yard sale for $10. The original owner only used it once.
I have no idea why because to me it’s the easiest thing in the world to measure ingredients into the bread pan, push a few buttons and walk away. Three hours later, fresh bread! With real ingredients and no high-fructose glop, MSG, or lead.
That old breadmaker met its maker (ha!) this spring. So I spent some of my bread on a new one.
For some “Little House on the Prairie” reason, I do the bread machine does my baking on Sundays. It just seems like a nice way to start the week. I’ve baked white bread, wheat bread, Easter Bread, pumpkin bread and now…

Cinnamon bread! This is the second loaf I’ve done using this recipe and it smells and tastes like a dream. I toast a slice of it for breakfast every morning.
So next time you see a barely used bread maker at a yard sale, snag it!
