I love baking my own bread, I've never been lucky enough to have a bread maker but it's so easy to do by hand as well. Usually I just make plain rolls, loaves or baguettes, either white or wholemeal. Sometimes, I add some cheese to the dough, or I make a greek olive bread to have with a main meal.
I've tried making sweet fruit bread, but it never turns out very well. I think making savoury bread is a lot easier than sweet!

Maybe when you are interested to try something else, these recipes might give you some interesting ideas:

Food coloring doesn't sound too appealing to me, maybe you ask her to try making some of these breads here, sure her kids will like them:

Up until a few years ago, I used to always prefer to make my own breads. I have recipes that were my grandmother's and some of them make 6 loaves at a time, and others 12. I mostly make white breads, french breads and like that. I like also brown breads, oatmeal & different raisin breads. One thing I don't make, or eat, is whole wheats and breads like that; I might like the taste but they literally make me ill. I got one of those breadmakers a few years back and now I don't make as much as I used to. Nothing like the taste and smell of fresh home baked breads!!

True, I think home-made breads are really interesting and taste a lot better!

Yea, I sort of could guess your answer when I started this discussion *winks*.

I occasionally make bread. My favorite bread is a cinnamon swirl loaf. I haven't made it in a couple of years. My husband likes pumpkin nut bread and pecan loaf, which I make once in a while. I'm not all that creative when it comes to cooking. But, I do like to cook and bake. I just follow recipes.

I like to bake bread, usually just plain white or wheat bread. Of course, that is something that I haven't really done recently; hopefully, I will be able to go back to baking bread again soon.

*laughs* I think following recipes are better! At least you could make sure things are right!

I have a bread machine which I like to use when I can. I will be able to now that my husband is home more and we eat at a normal time. I usually make plain bread but I have made banana bread and a few other sweet breads. I have never used a recipe from online for bread.

I would love to bake my own bread... but the problem is... i do not have an oven... so when i finally get one of my own... i would surely try baking... not only bread... but other cakes and pastries as well... my sister-in-law is good at baking... and i love the smell of her home when something is baking in the oven...

I have a bread machine but it is out of work. I may make some bread at home in the future as I like cooking. I have a good oven at home. Perhaps this weekend I will make some for my family:) Since making bread isn't so easy and I am not a professional chef. So I will follow the recipes to avoid any mistakes:)
I love China

I remember you have a bread machine, but it's broken? Oh, too bad. If you follow recipes, here might be some interesting ones for you to try *winks*:

I have tried to bake bread by usuing bread machines but they never turned out right so I gave up. I just tried to make plain white bread. I love raison bread though and think hommade raison bread would be really good.
