I love naan bread — it’s one of my favorites.  I found this recipe for homemade naan bread in the bread machine and I have to tell you, it’s pretty good and easy.  I mean, it’s not exactly like the real thing because you probably don’t have a tandoor (or at least I don’t).
BTW, 1 lb [...]

I haven’t had Pizza Hut pizza years ago so I can’t really remember what their dough tastes like. 
Why you may ask?  Well, it was four or five years ago when I first moved to the city.  They sent me the wrong pizza and I called to tell them it was wrong.   The person on the other [...]

One of my favorite breads is the english muffin.  It’s all the nooks and crannies that make it a perfect spot for butter, jelly, jams, peanut butters, etc. 
I thought I’d try this recipe for bread machine english muffins and it was perfect!  I think it really looks like english muffins with all the nooks and crannies.

Yeah, this recipe for bread machine money bread was a pretty big blah for me.  I thought you could taste too much of the wheat flour and it wasn’t what I was expecting. 
I think next time I’d use 1/2 wheat and 1/2 all purpose.  While the mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and butter is one of my [...]

This is a fantastic and easy recipe for sandwich buns/dinner rolls.  While I didn’t have a 2 1/2″ biscuit cutter the recipe called for, I used my 1″ cutter for dinner rolls. 
   
Although I did make a few sandwiches with the rolls.  They were tender, moist, and delicious!  I will definitely make these again! 
Oh, and [...]

I felt my bread machine was feeling neglected again, so I thought I’d spend a little time and bake more. 
With Father’s Day coming up, I knew cinnamon rolls would be greatly appreciated.  And this recipe was insanely easy.  Check out the middle and the last photo on the right — the power of yeast is pretty cool!

Continuing with my search for good, healthy bread recipes, I found this one for oatmeal bread.
To make it a little bit healthier, I put 1 cup of whole wheat flour (so then there was 2 cups of bread flour).  Seriously, this was really actually pretty good.  It actually had flavor and didn’t taste like cardboard.  [...]

My photo, as you may have noticed, is of a dog.  Specifically, it’s my mom’s dog.  And he’s not a little guy.  He’s a 110 lb black lab.  Now before you think he’s fat, he’s not.  He’s honestly big boned. 
He’s not the little labs that you usually see in the DC-metro area, but he looks [...]

My guilt over neglecting my bread machine continues, so I decided to try to make a Portuguese Sweet Bread.  Oh my God was this amazing.
I ran to the store to pick up a new jar of yeast, so this thing was rising like crazy.  It had a subtle, sweet flavor that wasn’t overpowering, but was [...]

I made this French Baguette recipe to see if it’d be better than this one, but it wasn’t. Although this recipe was better than this one.  The reason was that it didn’t have as crispy of a crust as the other one.  But it did have a nice soft and chewy interior.
I liked it, but I [...]

In a desire to try to be healthier, I thought I’d try out this recipe for yogurt bread. 
My verdict?  It tasted like healthy bread and not in a good way.  While the crust was spectacular, the bread was bland.  I even toasted it with a bit of butter, but it didn’t help.  Perhaps if I [...]

Ahh pizza.  I love it.  Is it the crust?  The endless possibilities of toppings?  The cheese string from when you grab a slice?  I think it’s a combination of all of it.
I had just purchased a pizza stone from Crate and Barrel and I was excited to try it out.  Using this recipe for the crust, [...]

I have been a baking fool, but then again, it is the winter.  Is there anything better than smelling a homemade loaf of bread?  I don’t think so! 
I made this classic white bread in my bread machine, but decided to change it up a little by adding a 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.  Then I  added a heaping 1/2 tsp [...]

After my great experience making homemade baguettes using just my KitchenAid mixer, I thought I’d make one with my bread machine. 
It wasn’t as good.  Perhaps had I not made the other one, I would have thought this was good.  But I did and this one didn’t work out as well. 
The reason was that while the exterior was a nice [...]

My bread machine has been feeling neglected ever since I got my rotisserie.  So I thought I’d make some plain, regular bread one day for lunch (and perhaps French Toast). 
I used this recipe to make the bread and have to say that it turned out really well.  The exterior was crunchy and the interior was so [...]

Yet another fantastic recipe, but this time, for Amish Bread in the bread machine. 
This bread was fluffy with a bit of sweetness.  It would have been great to slice with a bit of butter immediately after baking or toast a few days later. 
My biggest concern was that I didn’t know when the first “cycle” would be [...]

Have you ever baked something and now everyone wants to either try it or get more of it for themselves?  No matter how many times I give people the recipe for cinnamon sugar bread, I still get asked, “So, umm, when are you going to make the cinnamon sugar bread?” 
It really is that good.  With [...]

I made this Focaccia bread three times. 
The first time, I had no idea how long it would take to actually make it.  In reality, it’s about a 3 1/2 hour commitment so it’s not a quick bread, no mess bread.  It also didn’t turn out very well.  Instead, the bread was hard and heavy as a rock.  [...]
