Had been intimidated by the stand mixer

[MissMillie]

The one that had belonged to my mom, that my sister gave to me a while back.

Finally put it to use yesterday, with my first ever homemade bread (well, w/o a bread machine)
It's honey-wheat/oat bread.

1. Looks beautiful, MissMillie! And I'll bet it smells heavenly.

2. It really did smell good while baking

And it came out pretty good too. I toasted a slice to go w/ my breakfast.

It was an easy recipe, but I think it could stand a touch more salt. I chose the recipe mostly because I had a bag of whole wheat flour that was languishing in the larder.

3. Oh that looks so good. Golden brown. Toast and jam time!

As for the salt I mentioned.... try it their way first. I tend to be a bit of a salt-a-holic.

5. May this be the beginning of a beautiful relationship...

Between you and the stand mixer! I love mine and use it often. I dare say, it’s changed my cooking for the better and more fun

6. Honestly, I think my aversion was mostly due to having more stuff to wash

But in this case, it's just a bowl and a dough hook.

And it saved about 20 minutes of kneading.

9. I think it's easier to wash than a hand mixer & beaters...

And I’m lazy, uh, I mean efficient in the kitchen

8. Stand mixers are great for kneading bread!

Now that you got your feet wet so to speak, I'm sure we'll be seeing many more of your food creations.

And nice to see you post again!
