Adventures in Breadmaking

I like to use my bread maker to help me make dough. I don't have the patience to make dough from scratch, so I let the machine do most of the work. Here, I followed a recipe from the bread maker's instruction manual, substituting En-R-G egg replacer, Silk, and Earth Balance margarine for butter, milk, and eggs. After and hour and a half of the bread maker's kneading and rising, I spread the dough out on a cookie sheet, sprinkled margarine, cinnamon, sugar, and chopped walnuts onto it, rolled it, and cut it. After they came out of the oven I drizzled a Silk, vanilla, and confectioner's sugar icing on top. They were AWESOME!!!

Here is a loaf of oatmeal, cinnamon, and walnut bread:


...and here it is sliced with some margarine... ...and sprinkled with more cinnamon!


I also use the bread maker to help me make pizza dough. Here is a white flour pie, half with cremini mushrooms:

I love mushrooms on pizza!

... and here is a whole wheat pie, made easier with my handy bread maker!

I wish I had a breadmaker. I'd probably make fresh bread more often that way. But I wouldn't have the counter-space for one...sigh...

So wishing I had a cinnamon roll stuffed in my face right now. What fun you're having with your bread machine!

Who would have thought that adding vanilla to the icing sugar would make it taste so yummy, but it just makes the cinnamon rolls doesn't it!?!
I love my breadmaker for doing all the hard work for me, and for helping me get fluffy bread! yay!
