A friend of mine gifted me her unused bread machine a while back, and I've been on a tear this week, trying out some new recipes! I'll document them here for those who are interested in such things.

The cookbook I have includes recipes for things like beignets and “shaped” breads, but I didn't want a bread machine so that I'd still have a bunch of work to do! I wanted a bread machine so I could stick a bunch of ingredients into a box and have it magically turn into bread!

So the recipes I do are those sort: Stick stuff in the machine, let it do its thing, enjoy bread. Here ya go!

Caramel Cappuccino Loaf

• 2 T. Instant Coffee Crystals
• 1/3 C. Water
• 1/2 C. Milk
• 1/3 C. Caramel Ice Cream Topping
• 1 Egg
• 3 T. Butter
• 4 C. Bread Flour
• 1 t. Salt
• 1 1/2 t. Active Dry Yeast

Note: Dissolve the coffee crystals in the water before adding to the mixture.

Peanut Butter Honey Bread

• 3/4 C. Milk
• 1/3 C. Water
• 1/3 C. Peanut Butter
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 C. Honey
• 4 C. Bread Flour
• 1 t. Salt
• 1 1/2 t. Active Dry Yeast
• 1/2 C. Chopped Dry-Roast Peanuts (optional)

French Pear Bread

• • 1 C. Mashed, Drained Canned Pears
  • 1/3 C. Water
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 t. Honey
  • 4 C. Bread Flour
  • 1 t. Salt
  • 1/4 t. Pepper
  • 1 1/4 t. Active Dry Yeast

I can't wait to make french toast with this one!

All of these recipes are adapted from The Complete Guide to Bread Machine Baking, and will make a 2 lb. loaf.
