Bread Machines

[CADplans]

The ends last about 30 seconds out of the machine. We have the butter ready, and she gets one and I get the other.

I grew up in a Slovak influenced home,,, the end of a loaf of bread was called the krajček,,

My about 30 year old daughters also know the word, and we all want the krajček
Some other important words I grew up with are,,,
Dupa (your rear end)
жаба (pronounced Jaba) frog
Kusba (I do not know the spelling) little house

In German it's the knust, and in our house dad laid claim to it. Here in Ohio they call it the heel.

Never used a bread machine., but very much enjoy making sourdough bread from scratch. There is a website called "The Fresh Loaf" that has many good recipes and tips for all sorts of breads.

Sadly, sourdough takes too long to rise to meet bread machine cycles. You pretty much have to use fast rise yeast.

We use ours all the time. If you find a food service place and buy the materials in bulk (especially the yeast), it's almost free food. I usually make a french bread recipe that requires only flour, water, oil, salt, and yeast, which has the added benefit of producing lots of delicious crust to fight over.

Just last night my machine started "screeching" intermittently during kneading, so I guess I'm going to find out how it's built.

When the kids were at home, we used one often and wore several out. When my wife makes rolls or bread, I eat too much so no break machine, I am already under tall and don't need additional pounds.

Put our bread maker into storage. We were putting on weight.

Zojirushi. Unbelievable machine. I've had a couple before, but nothing like the Zojirushi. Makes cake and jams too. Also meatloaf, although I've never done that one.

One thing about bread makers, they are in most every used store, (Salvation Army ect..) many still new in the box. They are usually priced 2 or 3 dollars each, and that's where "ours" came from...

That's a great tip! Maybe I'll go shopping instead of dissecting ours.

I have made bread by hand several times. The loafs were great and always a hit. We got a used bread machine and the wife used it quite a bit. The loaves varied on how good they were. Sometimes it took me 5 minutes to get the loaf out as it would bake to the mixer in the bottom. After a while the machine just wasn't working right and we got rid of it.

This thread has me itching to make some more homemade loafs. I also enjoy homemade pasta and pizza dough. Just need more time...
