We all live a busy lifestyle but that does not mean that we cannot make homemade bread. In the past making homemade bread was a lengthy chore that only homemakers that stayed at home could do, this all changed with the invention of the bread making machine.

This one invention has changed the conception of baking bread at home; in fact, I would say it is the best thing since sliced bread.

When I was a little girl I used to love coming home from school to the smell of bread baking, it was not my mum baking the bread but my dad who used to make it by hand. He used to make the bread on the days that he had off from work, I used to come home from school for my dinner at 12.30, he would be making it at 4.30 I would come home from school, and he would have just put it into the oven to bake, hence the lovely smell of baking bread.

There will be also a small jug or cup with different measuring heights written on the inside this will be for the flour, the milk, or the water that you will use.

*You must use these utensils every time you make the bread; never think that you can use a spoon that you use for other things, or use the measuring jug that you have in your cupboard that you use for measuring ingredients' for other recipes, you will be sadly disappointed with the results of the bread that you have made.

*When making the bread, put the ingredients' into the bread making machine as the recipe tells you to. There are different types of bread and sometimes the way that you put the ingredients' into the machine will either ruin the bread or make the best bread that you have ever tasted.
