WooooHooooo! Yet again you ROCK!
Making bread (the kind with yeast) is actually one of my New Years Goals! (doing happy dance)

When you compare like to like, it is much cheaper to bake bread at home cost-wise. By like to like I do not mean the off brand white loaded with high fructose corn syrup. Compare the price to something of the same taste and texture.
Now, if bread making keeps you from performing tasks that would bring in income, it would be more cost effective to hit the store.
If it just means you are watching Desperate Housewives or whatever is on, while you knead, then I’d consider it time well spent.

I’m very interested to read this series. I don’t have a stand mixer, but I’m a serious bread baker and have always wondered how the stand mixer is involved. I bake bread because it smells and tastes great, makes great hostess gifts, and I have time because I’m a stay at home mom. I’m not sure if it’s cheaper – never checked. Hooray for home made bread!

I’m looking forward to this, too. The last time I tried to make a healthy wheat bread, I essentially baked a brick.

Looking forward to your series. I did several articles on the bread machine, but I don’t break out the stand mixer as often as I would like. Can’t wait to see what you cook up!

Yay! I’ve been so frustrated with balancing dh’s insistance on white bread with finding something healthier without high fructose corn syrup and at a reasonable price (the best I’ve seen is Target’s Whole Grain White bread, but it is $2.69/loaf).

Additionally, we are not totally in love with our bread machine (which is 12 years old), and if I can utilize my stand mixer more, I might just forego buying another bread machine (hey, that’ s frugal, right? LOL).

Ooo, just last night I was saying to my husband that I’d like to learn how to make bread because I know what I want but often have trouble finding it at the bakery. Can’t wait!

I’m excited too. I used to bake bread all the time, and fell out of the habit. I made a loaf this past weekend and remembered how fun it is – and how rewarding the results are!
