Homemade Bread

I baked three loaves of homemade bread last night :-) I have never made homemade bread by myself before (I baked it once with a friend from church a few years ago--at her home). When I did our family grocery shopping last Monday, I realized that our bread had gone from around $2 a loaf to $2.50 a loaf :-0 We can't buy the cheap bread or go to the Day old Bread store because "Miney" is allergic to milk and we can't find cheaper bread without milk in it (that doesn't go rotten too quickly). Realizing that the prices are only going to continue rising, we buckled down and invested in a Bosch and a Nutrimill. They were having a Mother's Day special, so I got them cheaper than I normally would have. I had never used either of these before, and with Jason's help I managed to figure out how to get the job done last night. This bread is so yummy and much healthier than what we can buy at the store. I got a great recipe and tips from my friend, Beth, who checked on me a couple of times throughout the process. I'm looking forward to making other yummy and healthier foods with my new equipment.

I looked at the mill & grinder at OCHEC, also. I almost bought them but I chickened out! Keep me posted how it goes - I still might get up the courage & order them!
