Baking bread at least once a week. We find it to be much tastier than the store bought loaves (though there are a few delicious options on the shelf!), and it makes the BEST toast. This might be due to the fact that it is not presliced... which leads to yummy thick toast with honey or homemade jam. It's just so so good.
My favorite recipe is from the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer booklet: Honey Oatmeal Bread! Of course, it's never quite the same since I never seem to have enough oatmeal or whole wheat flour or butter or honey... but the results always seem to disappear without much complaint. An excellent recipe that can stand a lot of tweaking.
Yum. Three hours to heaven and with maybe 15 minutes of hands-on time.
