Homemade Bread!!!

My sweet grandmother donated this lovely bread machine to me!  I was very excited to try it out, and much to my surprise, Bubba inhaled almost half of the first loaf of wheat bread!  It is sooo easy to use! I may just have to make our bread from here on out...Just in case you have a bread machine or have a lot of time to knead your own dough, I will share the recipe! 

Whole Wheat  Bread:
Water at 80-90 degree F
1 large egg
2 tsp molasses (I did not have this so I added 2 MORE tsp of honey)
2 tsp honey
2 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour
1 tbs of dry milk
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbs of butter
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Add all liquid ingredients to bowl (if using machine, wait for the butter).
Add all dry ingredients except the yeast to the liquid ingredients. Do not mix yet (if using the machine, divide butter into four pieces and place one piece in each corner of the pan).
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add yeast. Place the pan in your machine or mix well and start kneading by hand! If you are doing this by hand, you will have to let it rise in a mixing bowl and then bake at 350 degrees for about 45 to 50 minutes.
