I'm especially looking for nice country-loaf style breads but I want to compile a recipe file of all kinds of breads - pitas, naans, loaves, hallahs, bagels, buns, baguettes, tortillas - everything!

3. Get a box of bread mix at the store.

Dump it in your bread maker. Add water. Turn bread maker on. Wait about 2-3 hours, enjoy!

Sorry to be flip - but I cannot bake bread from scratch. Lord knows I've tried. I love to use my breadmaker, the smell of baking bread is wonderful. But I've found that if you don't eat the bread right away, it gets pretty stale by the next day or so. Not much shelf-life, I guess.

8. Bakery...

Since i've killed my fourth bread machine in two years, I find a good fresh bakery is the only way to go. Plus, with the Atkins and South Beach no-carb craze, they'll love to see you coming.

9. Here's mine, Chavez

Light Oatmeal/Wheat Bread


1 envelope active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 cups plain fat free yogurt
4 – 4 1/2 cups white flour
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. salt
4 tablespoons butter

Make a sponge by dissolving the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl. Water should be very warm but comfortable to touch. Heat the yogurt to lukewarm and add 1 cup of it to the yeast. Add maple syrup and 3 cups of white flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for 30 – 40 minutes until it swells and bubbles on the top.

Meanwhile, dissolve the salt and butter in remaining yogurt, heating it up again if necessary. When sponge is ready, add this and remaining ingredients except for ½ cup of white flour. Mix well until it becomes hard to stir, then turn out on a floured surface and knead, adding flour as necessary until dough is smooth and resilient – about 8 – 10 minutes.

Clean out bowl and oil it. Place dough in bowl, turning it to coat with oil. Cover with plastic and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled, about an hour.

Punch dough down, turn it out and cut in half. Form two loaves and place them in greased bread pans. Cover lightly with a towel and leave it to rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 425 oven 10 minutes then lower heat to 350 and continue to bake 30 minutes. Cool on racks.
