So I bought a Breadman a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. I finally got around to using it and now I'm so happy with the results I want to sing it from the rooftops. I used Pamela's bread mix and it was easier than I thought. Really, just add 3 wet ingredients (oil, eggs, water) to the bottom and top it off with the dry mix and yeast. 3 hours later I had some damn good bread. Real bread. This bread is moist and the texture is really nice. I had bought some Udi's bread, which was fine, though MUCH dryer than this. There's no comparison really. I am super excited to try some bread recipes from scratch. I'm working on collecting some of the odd flours and necessary ingredients. Not quite there yet.
My first test with the bread was just eating it with some soy free margarine, I have only found one brand without soy, Earth Balance. It seems to be a little hard to find. I got it at New Seasons here in Portland, not sure if Whole Foods sells it, but I'm guessing they do. This was the closest thing I've had to old fashioned bread since I gave up wheat and even better since it was fresh baked. I made french toast this morning with it and that turned out great too. I'm looking forward to trying it out as sandwich bread the most.
