There are a number of them in these books. Some have notes that we're not going to try those again. The simplest seem like they turn out the tastiest anyway.

There's a little book that came with our hand me down breadmaker, but the covers are missing so I can't tell you the name.

kaywoodie can correct my translation, but I think this is proletariat enough. "People's grain bread"

it's one of my all time faves.

Sometimes I just throw stuff together............10 or so years in the baking industry will do that to a fellow. Granted, I'm no longer mixing 500 lbs of flour and the rest, but I know what a good dough looks like.

Most times except in summer, we use the dough setting on the machine and take it out to bake in the oven. I suppose we could use the bread hook on the stand mixer, but we're good lazy Americans with the technology to do our work for us.

The pancakes are "freehand", no recipe. I just add what I want.

Momma makes the cakes and pies. I'll leave that to her.
