As the temperatures begin to drop, nothing makes me feel warm and cozy at home more than the smell of fresh bread as it bakes. Unfortunately, I by no means consider myself a baker. However, while I may not be able to knead and punch-down with the pros, I have a back-up plan. I have a bread machine!
So with that thought in mind, I wanted to find a way to make nutritious bread without all of the fuss. As a result, I found this recipe on QualityHealth.com and just had to share. So dust off your bread machines and get ready to fill your home with the fantastic smell of fresh bread!
