I prefer to make bread the old fashioned way from scratch but when I know the family is not coming home for awhile and it's just going to be me it's not worth to make up a full big batch. That's when the bread machine comes in quite handy. All of my friends including my daughters have and use the bread machine.
Some of the recipes that come with the machines are quite good but as usual I decided to tweak them this way and that by adding and taking away and now I think they almost taste as perfect as the ones made from scratch.
The nice thing about using a bread machine and these ready portioned recipes is that you just empty them into the machine, add the fluids, set the timer and then go to bed to wake up to the awesome scents of fresh bread.

Hi Zsuzsy,
My favorite is homemade herbal bread. I never got a machine, just because I don't need to eat any extra bread. However, the recipe I use has rosemary in it. You must try adding rosemary - it's wonderful.
Money Glitch, glad you popped in for a visit and for commenting. regards Zsuzsy
Hhhmmm, I simply love herbal breads! Thanks for sharing I'm bookmarking this hub for future reference.

Hey Zsuzsy,
You make it seem so easy and tempting to make them right now! Unfortunetly, I lack quite a few of the ingredients right now and don't have a bread machine!:/
Hi Paradise the cranberry bread is one of my favorite treats. Toasted with a bit of butter...yum

Looks great, another terrific recipe! That cranberry raisin almond bread sounds like a real winner to me.
Godslittlechild, always glad when you pop by for a visit. If you need more recipes for the bread machine let me know. I have tons.

Artemus so glad you came by for a visit. You're right about one of the benefits of working at home being the great smell of something baking or cooking.
kindest regards Zsuzsy
Always looking for recipes for my bread machine. I bought it at a yardsale with no directions or anything! These look really good!
Great recipes! That is one of the best parts of working at home I can start something in my bread machine and enjoy the good smells while I work.
Laurel, I always make home made bread 6 loaves at a time when I know my kids are coming home because then they each can take a loaf home with them. So when its just me at home alone I just use the bread machine...I wouldn't want to do without.
regards Zsuzsy
You've added a gift to my wish list, have always made bread in the oven and never really considered a bread machine, thank youhttp://hubpages.com/profile/Laurel+Oakes
Laura, sorry I misunderstood...I was still half asleep I guess.
kindest regards Zsuzsy
Zsuzsy - I did not mean that you must buy it for your wife - I was addressing your male readers!
Bob, I love my bread machine and use it weekly. Always glad when you come for a visit.
kindest regards Zsuzsy
I need a bread machine, had one for a few years and miss it. need to try these recipes, thanks.
Laura, thanks for taking a look and for commenting. I agree with you about the heavenly smell of fresh baked bread.
I have a bread machine too and use it all the time when I'm by myself and don't expect my gang to come home.
Ideal Christmas gift for my wife????????????? (you must have me confused with somebody else)
kindest regards Zsuzsy
Dohn, never tried to make an olive loaf in my bread machine will have to try it. Green or black olives?
Thanks for taking a look and for commenting.
kindest regards Zsuzsy
Thanks for the new recipes Zsuzy
Nothing beats the smell of bread baking to give a homely feel to a house! Love my bread machine and use it daily- would recommend getting one. Ideal Christmas gift for your wife.
Wow, Zsuzsy Bee. I really enjoyed this. I especially liked the idea of preparing the bread before bed (say that 10 times) and having it be ready by breakfast!
One of my favorites is Calamata Olive Loaf. I just love it with past or served toasted and hot as a chicken sandwich. Thanks so much for a great hub!
