Comments
My mom asked me to bring along some “yummy bread” when I visited for Christmas. I turned to my trusty copy of The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook and looked through it while keeping in mind the ingredients I had on hand, since a trip to the store was out of the question with all of the snow we got here! This recipe is one of the four I chose to make and it rocked. The bread almost reminded me of eating a croissant and worked quite well for breakfast toast. It is a very buttery bread and I’m not entirely sure how well it would work for a sandwich, but for just straight eating it was phenomenal. It’s very light and airy as well.
