Bread

I have finally gotten this right. The most important part is the flour. I found the most simple and easy receipt online. My bread maker is an Oster 2 pound Express Bake we picked up at a yard sale for $10.00.

Then put the warm water in, then sprinkle in the sugar and salt into the water and slightly slosh to mix, then add the vegetable oil.

I have tried several brands of flour but this stuff is the bomb. I recommend it.

 

Here is a finished product

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
