I saw the Lekue bread maker mentioned in a Facebook group and decided I should try it out for quick and easy mixing, baking and clean up. In addition, its size was ideal for making enough bread for one person for a few days. It has been on my Amazon… Continue reading
I always get one early Christmas gift from my mom since I pick it and order it for myself during Black Friday sales. This year there was an amazing deal on the KitchenAid Pasta attachment that also included the Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder attachment as a bundle so I jumped at… Continue reading
After years of expecting failure at making yeast doughs, I finally decided to sign up for a Bread Making class that has been on my Amazon wish list for many years. Proofing yeast always seemed like more trouble than its worth and then watching my dough not rise made me… Continue reading
