Bread

I like fresh crusty bread on the outside with a nice light fluffy interior, slightly moist.

I've had a bread maker for about 10 years (maybe longer, I can't remember). I make a loaf overnight most days. It's ready when OH gets up to milk and has cooled down enough by breakfast. I would never go back to Chroleywood processed loaves.

If you bake it yourself, you could eat it warm straight from the oven. That would surely taste best rather than letting it cool down.

My wife does her own 'half and half' in the breadmaker. Malc bread should be allowed to come to room temperature after baking because the heat retained inside continues to cook the bread plus the texture is problematic, it becomes more stable when just warm/cold rather than hot out of the oven although it does smell better.

It will taste different warm, not necessarily better, just different. It's easier to slice when cool, and it's still fresh - only 3 hours old - when we eat it. 

When i smell the bakery at our local coop i know its time to put my coat on, the prevailing wind is SW it gets to be a problem when wind comes any other way

I remember when I first started sailing, the club I was at was near the local bakery. If the winds were fairly light, the aroma wafting across the harbour had you salivating all the way to the finish line.

Sliced bread is one of the most retrograde things ever to happen to British food! Disgusting stuff. Can't beat home made or even expensive bought in but artisan made. OH used to work in a bread factory years ago as a student. He tells some real horror stories!

They always say, if you are trying to sell your house, have a coffee maker or bread baking on the go, the delicious aroma lingers in the memory of potential buyers!

I make my own bread, and don't have a bead maker, I se different flour's to ring the changes, put a dish of water in the bottom of the oven to make a more crusty loaf, doesn't Lat three days cos it gets eaten!

We bake a delicious loaf with grated carrots and cardamom as part of the recipe. Truly delicious, especially with home made soup as well!
