At one point, i always made homemade bread! This recipe, from the kitchenaid recipe and instruction book, was our favorite! When it comes out of the oven, you want to be sure to have a knife and butter handy! Mmm…homemade bread…one of life's simple pleasures! (prep time includes two hours for rising of dough)
