One of my favorite things is Bread. I always say I love bread so much I could marry it. Donna Curie who is one of the Good Cook Kitchen Experts has a new book coming out called Make Ahead Bread: 100 Recipes for Bake-It-When-You-Want-It Yeast Breads. It contains some great recipes. It has been some time since I have baked bread so I decided I would try one of her great recipes.
I made some Simple Sandwich Bread today. It was really easy to do and I was able to use a new stand mixer I received for Christmas to knead the dough.
The first thing I did is get all of my supplies out and wanted to show you these great measuring cups I got from GoodCook.com. They are the Double-Sided Flip Measuring Cups - they work great!!
