Homemade Bread

I have been busy this week restocking the freezer with homemade bread.  On Monday I baked three items using the bread machines and Kitchen Aid to mix the doughs.  We love homemade bread, and I find it quite easy to make since I have the time at home.  I cannot imagine doing all of this and working outside the home.  Since I am a housewife, baker falls under my job description.

First I made a dozen hamburger buns or sandwich rolls as we use them for other types of sandwiches.  These have some whole wheat flour in addition to the bread flour.

Then I mixed up the dough for sandwich bread using the Kitchen Aid.  The bread loaves are made with only bread flour as my husband refuses any whole wheat near his PB&J. 

Finally I made hot dog buns or rather New England hot dog buns.  They are different than what you would buy in the stores here in the south.  They are delicious.  I made them for a family cookout Easter weekend. 

I used this pan which I purchased from Amazon using a gift card earned from doing surveys.  I was pleased with the purchase.  The pan is heavy duty and the bread just falls out after baking.  It can also be used with a cake mix to make a dessert.  I will be trying that soon.
