hi again!

how should i store home made bread? in the fridge or just on the counter covered?

i am still waiting for the rising bread!!!!
i have peeded several times !

this is my first time making bread like this... yes i have done boxed stuff... banana bread, cranberry etc.

Fridge or freezer, in ziploc or similar. Without commercial dough conditioners, it dries out pretty quickly.

I was looking under the FREE section of craigslist and someone was actually giving one away.

If you have a family - - -these are one of the best investments you will ever make.

I KNOW for a fact - - - there is not a man or boy alive who can resist the smell of fresh baked bread . . . .
I swear mine can smell it all the way to the chicken coop !

I saw lots of them in the local pawn shop for $20.

I had a breadman and worked great as I can't get dough to rise in this house for some reason. then the turning thing froze and I can't get a replacement- worked great for 2 yrs.
