New to bread machine just bought one, I like to add seeds to my bread to make it more healthy when do I add the seeds to it.
I just looked at the printed recipe. Even though you didn’t use them in this video,Thanks for including weight of the ingredients.
Thank you so very much for the recipes for different size loaves of bread. This is perfect for me. I made the one pound loaf for hubs and I. He is a gospel singer and is on the road nearly every weekend with his group. I have a 2 pound loaf in my bread machine right now to send with him. I’ll be baking a second loaf as soon as the first is complete. This should keep the guys well fed this weekend. I know they will love it!!! It’s just wonderful!! Again…thank you so much!!
Love . Thank you for this. Do you have a recipe for rolls? In the mini
Robyn I have followed you for over a year and I love your recipes. I do have problem printing them. No matter what app I use to open recipe when I go to print the preview is blank and recipe does not print. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
Can you just double the recipe for a 2 pound loaf?
How much of the bread cannot be used as slices do to the holes the machine leaves during the baking process?
Great loaf! Can’t wait!❤
Hmmm. I’m sorry to come back but I could not print this. Usually I save it to my files but it would not come up with that option. And if I just used print the page was blank. Not sure what’s happening with this! Yikes! 🤷♀️🇺🇸
I use my mini cast iron skillet to melt butter😂
I love it! What a great little recipe! Can I use my regular Zojirushi bread machine for this? I’ve never made a one pound loaf in it but would like to. Thank you Robyn for another great recipe. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day! 💐🥰🇺🇸
I totally appreciate the smaller conversions!! I only have 2-3 people normally eating it. That knife though!! Where is that from??? It’s so nice looking!!
I'm looking forward to your Hawaiian bread recipe. 🍞 😊
Robyn, I don’t see the link to the recipe 😮😅
Looks like a keeper recipe ❤
I like using my compact bread machine for just me and my husband. Thanks!
Ooo it looks so good, Robyn! I haven’t used my bread machine now that I got a stand mixer, I still use it, but not how I used too!! Thank you for another wonderful recipe! 🫶🏼🤍
