Try a New Recipe Tuesday- March 13

I love my breadmaker.  There is no smell quite like the smell of freshly baking bread permeating the whole house for an afternoon!  :-)  I received the breadmaker 16 years ago (yegads!) for a bridal shower present and it has to be one of the best (and most used) gifts I ever received. (other than my laptop and camera, of course, lol!)

I came up with a recipe for Italian bread in the breadmaker that really is delicious.  The olive oil gives it a great taste and wonderful crust.



1 cup warm water
2 tsp. yeast
3 tbls. sugar
1 ½ tsp. salt (I use sea salt)
¼ cup olive oil
3 cups bread flour
(I use the sweet setting and have baked it at both the regular and rapid speeds.  They both come out just fine.)

The kiddos just LOVE fresh bread!  :-)

Now, it is your turn!  Linkup a favorite recipe to share!  If you can, grab a button or link back to this post, so others can join in, as well.  :-)

I might have to pull out my bread machine to try this recipe. It looks easy and delicious -- just my kind of recipe!

I'm also envious of your clean cupboards!!! Mine, even in the pictures I posted, are just...not tidy. :-(

Anyway, thanks for the link-up Lisa! I hope your week is improving (from Sunday)!

Oh, I'm definitely going to try this one! I've only used my breadmaker twice (it's new, LOL) but the second time, it flopped. I must've done something wrong. With a homemade recipe, my luck has got to change!

I am so going to try this. We love our breadmaker too! Never made Italian. Thanks!

I keep going back and forth on whether or not to buy a bread machine. On the one hand, I am trying to get rid of stuff, on the other hand...do I want to add more stuff? never ending...
