Bread - Of life - made in the Bread Machine

I know -- I can't made bread to save my life.

Ok !  Maybe if My life depended on it.

Now, this recipe I have changed -  I add lemon juice to help the flour - 2 squirts - maybe 1 - 2 tbs.

Hope you enjoy this -  I have worn out 1 machine and am working on any other one.

Here's to bread -  Yeah!

Bread
I put my machine on french bread - 1 pound loaf - dark crust - It doesn't brown unless you do this

1 - 1/2 cups water
3 cup flour (here I add maybe 1/2 cup or more - because of the lemon juice)  I just watch the side of the mixer when it mixes
1 tsp salt (very important - it will taste bad without this)
1 tsp yeast
olive oil - about 1 tbs.
lemon juice -  see above

Put this in the mixer as listed - then push start -  I stand there a couple of minutes to see how much flour is needed.

Then, presto !   4 hours later Bread.

I made this Bread - on Saturday, which my husband loves.
There is enough for Sandwiches on Saturday -( if he hasn't got to is by then).
And some for french toast on Sunday.

Love this  

Play dough - That can be eaten

As I glace through my recipes looking for the unique.

I stopped at this one -- just for a rainy day.

Enjoy.

Pirate's pantry - Fried Chicken - YEAH

Now I have children, who have been in the Brownouts -  But, they have had a gas range to cook on.  I suggested they use their Chicken on this.  

It is fabulous.  I just remember cooking this for my Family -  all 6 of us.  It take a half and hour to cook --- "So, have them people ready"  the pirate is here.

I got my book from my sister in law -   -   Who live in the south --- Yeah  Pauline
