I borrowed my sister in law's bread machine cause I was wanting to make some homemade bread this week while my hubby is at work and my daughter is at school.
Does anyone have any good recipes? I'd love to have them if you wouldn't mind sharing.
Thanks!!

welcome to mylot.here are some of home made bread recipes i've searched for you although havent tried it yet, but you can give it a try
Homemade Bread
SUBMITTED BY: Sandra Anderson
"'WE BAKED at least two batches of bread each week for our family of six. We also spent hours (or so it seemed) churning the butter to spread on it, which we especially loved to do while it was still warm. Fried chicken never tasted quite as good without homemade bread-and-butter sandwiches.'"
INGREDIENTS
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup shortening, melted and cooled
12 cups all-purpose flour, divided
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt and shortening; stir until dissolved. Add half the flour; beat until smooth and the batter sheets with a spoon. Mix in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough that cleans the bowl. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into four parts and shape into loaves. Place in four greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans and allow to cool on wire racks.

Homemade Wonderful Bread

"A white bread recipe without a strong yeast flavor. Proofing the yeast first eliminates some of the yeast taste from the final product."

1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
DIRECTIONS
Whisk together the yeast, 1/4 cup warm water and sugar. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
Add ingredients in the order suggested by your manufacturer, including the yeast mixture. Select the basic and light crust setting.
Homemade Egg Bread
SUBMITTED BY: June Mullins
"'People rave about this tender, delicate bread every time I serve it,' conveys Livonia, Missouri's June Mullins."
INGREDIENTS
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
1 1/2 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup butter, softened
7 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
DIRECTIONS
Dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, salt, eggs, butter and 3-1/2 cups flour; mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. On a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Divide into six portions. On a floured surface, shape each into a 14-in.-long rope. For each loaf, braid three ropes together on greased baking sheet; pinch ends to seal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 to 60 minutes. Beat egg yolk and water; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.

I have a bread machine, and that is what these 2 recipes are usually made it. I'm assuming you know how to knead, and let the bread rise, so I won't try to figure that one out for you. LOL! I can't tell you what to bake them at or for how long, it will be just a guess. Trial and error comes quite often in our kitchen. :) Good luck with your bread!
Buttermilk Bread
1 1/2 c. water
2 tsp. vegetabel oil, margarine or butter
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
1/3 c. buttermilk powder
3 1/4 c. bread flour
3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
1 1/4 tsp. yeast
Add all ingreients to bread machine according to manufacturer's directions. Select basic white bread cycle. ***If baking in conventional oven, bake at 350 or 375 degrees for 20-25 min. I have seperated the dough into two loaves and baked it this way.
Potato Bread (this is our favorite!!)
1 1/3 c. water
2 TBSP melted butter
3/4 tsp. salt
1 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP instant skim milk powder
3 1/4 c. bread flour
1/2 c. instant mashed potato flakes
1 tsp. yeast
Again, this is a bread machine recipe. You can divide the dough after your finl kneeding, and let it rise. I would suggest baking at 350 - 375 degrees for 30 min.

I have a couple of books since this is getting popular again. I would suggest you head to the library. Mine has several and you can pick and choose and have some fun making different breads. I wish you luck since bread is soo yummy smelling when it is warm and fresh.
