CRUSTY HOMEMADE BREAD - WITH VARIATIONS
When I saw this in my TOH magazine knew I had to try it, only 5 ingredients in the basic recipe and the result is a lovely crusty outer and a pillowy soft inside. The house smelled awesome while it was baking, DH has officially decided that other than sourdough - this is his all time favorite. So try it plain, stud it with cheese or fold in orange peel and cranberries - your family is sure to love it. Be sure to plan ahead as it sits in the fridge overnight. Prep time does not include rising

AWESOME HOMEMADE CRUSTY BREAD (ABM)
This recipe was posted by Marie on Food.com. It was originally a 1 1/2 lb. loaf and I adjusted it to a 2 pound loaf. This is my favorite bread to make. Very easy and the ingredients are very simple with no eggs or dairy products. The flavor is excellent and reminds me of French Bread. Good for toast and sandwiches. Will...

Steps:
- 1. Place ingredients in your bread machine according to directions.
- 2. You can either bake it in your bread machine or set it on your dough cycle.
- 3. If you use your dough cycle (which I prefer), remove your dough from the ABM and place on a lightly floured board.
- 4. Knead the bread a few times to remove the air bubbles and then form the dough into a loaf. Place the loaf in a 9x5-inch bread pan that has been sprayed with Wilton Bake Easy (or use a similar baking spray). Let rise till doubled in size (this won't take very long so watch closely).
- 5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 35 minutes (you should have a hollow sound when you tap your bread).
- 6. Remove from the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy.

- Place ingredients in bread pan in order listed or according to manufacturer's directions. The caraway seeds are added at the fruit and nut signal. Depending on your machine this could be anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes into the cycle. Remember, when adding the yeast last, make a small well with your finger to place the yeast. This will insure the proper timing of the yeast reaction. This bread is processed at the Whole Wheat cycle.
