  1. FANTASTIC for the oven, tasty and fluffy, amazing. But, how to do this in a bread machine? been looking for a bread machine potato recipe but they all want dry flakes and no real potatoes! Need a 2 LB recipe. Oven is good too but would like to use my machine more. :DD
     
  2. Loved this bread. It rose much quicker than usual so I let it go a bit too much. Will check it sooner next time. Loved it with jam for breakfast.
     
  3. Made this for the second time and it's excellent! This time I used white whole wheat flour and it's so good I'm making a second batch to share! Thanx for sharing!
     
  4. Loved this bread! Thanks.......
     
  5. Fabulous! This is a pretty basic bread recipe that turned out awesome. The bread was fluffy and moist. We used margarine instead of shortening and it seemed to work just fine.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
