Here are some of my favorite bread machine recipes. I shared these recipes with my mom and thought I'd also put them here in case anyone else is interested. I had to limit myself to making only 1 loaf a week because I was making a TON of bread and getting quite "doughy".
If you try any of these recipes, I'd love to hear how they turned out for you. Enjoy!
