Even when using the bread machine I always bloom my yeast first. I use my kitchen aid mixer a lot but also use the bread machine on the dough cycle.

You always have the best recipes. I've said it before, but it's true! Before children, I baked a lot of homemade bread but haven't had the energy or time since then, except for quick breads. Too bad, because store bread is less tasty and too expensive! Villager, I think I’m coming to eat at your house! You always have the best recipes. I’ve said it before, but it’s true!

Homemade pita has such a good fresh taste - like any homemade bread for that matter. I'll bet you like both recipes!

I've always thought my worst homemade bread was still better than what I could buy. We do have some good bakeries here, but even then their best effort isn't any better than ours. Lynda has been a fan of no-knead bread for some time now. She got the Artisan Bread book when it came out, and she's currently baking her way through "Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day". She made <a href="http://www.bloombakecreate.com/2010/05/hb-in-five-chocolate-espresso-ww-cupcakes/" rel="nofollow">Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes</a> this week and they were to DIE for! And healthy as well. With chocolate and coffee, what's not to like? I still like to get out the KitchenAid mixer and use it to knead dough. It does make short work of the process. Making bread is definitely therapeutic for me, tho' since retiring I usually don't need therapy like I used to! So, we take turns making bread, which makes it nice.
