I've recently started getting more serious about baking our family's bread and find my internet searches keep bringing me here....so I thought I'd join in the fun! I started out with a bread machine quite a few years ago & when it broke I decided to start trying it with my own hands. What fun! For the past 6 months I've been milling my own flour & am wanting to perfect a sprouted grain bread (not having much luck). So you'll probably find me hanging out around those folks. Ha!
Thanks for sharing all your wisdom & I look forward to learning from you all!
Welcome, Koru.
Greets, Koru.
to the family of newbies, rookies and novices. Like you I started out with a bread machine. The bread that came out was edible but far from satisfactory. I had to eat it all myself since they weren't good enough to give away. When my baking class started bread baking classes, I have not used my machine anymore and it is now sitting in my storeroom untouched. I found TFL by chance and have gained some very useful knowledge from all the experts here. This is one site I check out everynight before I go to bed :)
You guys should freecycle those old bread machines. Create some new "Bread Heads".
