This past weekend I got a sudden craving for fresh-baked bread.
Fresh-baked bread without spending all day making it, I should say.
I dusted off the bread machine
and set my mind to making a loaf. Then realized that the recipe book that came with my machine was missing. I have looked everywhere! It is still no where to be found.
Luckily, one of my lovely facebook followers came to the rescue. Thanks Samantha!
She recommended this recipe for WHO Bread, which I assume stands for Wheat Honey Oat.
WHO Bread from SouleMama
{makes 1.5 lb loaf, set to ‘basic’ with medium crust}
1 1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter @ room temperature
1 tsp salt
3 cups of flour (2 cups unbleached white, 1 cup whole wheat)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (or, one package)
Layer ingredients in bread machine – starting with water and working to yeast. Set loaf size to 1.5 pounds, crust to medium and use the basic white setting. Close the lid, hit start and your done!
The machine does the work for you, leaving your day free for more important things – like dessert!
Although I have to say that this bread is so good and slightly sweet that it could be dessert.

NOW YOU'RE COOKIN': RECIPES {BREAD}
I have been on a bit of a baking binge this week.
Brownies, Apple Pie and now cookies.
These cookies came about because I only had one egg and an abundance of over ripe bananas.
Anyone else have a stockpile of these in their freezer?
Yep, that is where we keep them. In the freezer.
When bananas start to get brown and too mushy to eat, don’t throw them out. Throw them in the freezer.
They will turn black – don’t be alarmed – they are perfectly fine. The flavor actually intensifies in the deep freeze.
When ready to use, just pull one out and microwave in the peel for a few seconds to thaw. Cut off one end and squeeze out the goodness.
This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. I don’t even recall how I came to possess it. It must have come in the mail with my Martha Stewart subscription. My old Martha Stewart subscription. I finally let it lapse a few years ago. It was liking breaking up with my first love. Actually that was easier than letting go of my beloved magazine.
Anyhoo… this little recipe card is well loved and used. You will have to forgive the bits of dough and splatters. At least you know it has been tested.
