Yall should try homebaked bread with lutefisk!

Now you just need some home made mayo, cheese and roast beef!

Chuck in a handful of sunflower seeds and a tablespoon of honey into the mixture. mmmm my favourite

I also like Sun dried tomato and olive.

Bread makers are fun.

Congratulations on making bread Russian. I too enjoyed it immensely until the little agitator arm for my breadmaker got lost in a move (of course some of my early experiments could have been used as an organic replacement for cinderblock)

The only thing that I don't like about Breadmaker bread is the shape. I never did enjoy the "standing up straight" loaf. In the end, the loss of breadmaker functionality wasn't a big loss, my wife makes much better bread the old fashioned way in the oven. In fact its so good, we've had people at the church ask where we buy our communion bread. Apparently making good bread is becoming a lost art.

When you're holding a piece of warm, freshly baked bread in your hand and savoring the smell, taste, and texture of your creation do you still think...

"nothing feels better than a cold metal in hands."?

Because I can think of a few things that feel better than holding a hunk of metal in my hand.

Great point :-). Can I have a cold metal in one hand and bread in the other? Combination of a gunpowder smell and freshly baked can be refreshing; good of both worlds so to speak. Although, I never tested out that hypothesis.

This is my introduction to bread making. Probably in future once I build enough confidence and skill, I may try out doing it old style. But since I do not have any teachers, it might be a difficult task. My neither mother, nor grandmother knows how to bake bread; they know only Russian style cakes which are revolutionary compare to stuff in the stores.

Does this work with regular weed bread? If so I will try it out next time. I assume sunflowers are added during baking/mixing process and honey is added with the dough. Correct?

Never had any luck with the bread maker. Always tasted too yeasty, and the block was always too dense.

Unless you cook like my wife. Then if you throw it, it will bust a chuck out of the road when it lands on it

Since I mix dough by hand, I get all ingredients in proper mixture. I noticed that if machine does mixing, it will come out disgusting. As a result of mixing by hand, bread becomes very soft and quite tasty, not a murder weapon.

Since I had no idea what that is, I did a quick google on it. Interesting…  

The Norwegians are remarkably single-minded in their attachment to the stuff. Every one of them would launch themselves into a hydrophobic frenzy of praise on the mere mention of the word. Though these panegyrics were as varied as they were fulsome, they shared one element in common. Every testimonial to the recondite deliciousness of cod soaked in lye ended with the phrase "...but I only eat it once a year."
.....cont

Lutefisk is instead pretty much what you'd expect of jellied cod; it is a foul and odiferous goo, whose gelatinous texture and rancid oily taste are locked in spirited competition to see which can be the more responsible for rendering the whole completely inedble.

How to describe that first bite? Its a bit like describing passing a kidneystone to the uninitiated. If you are talking to someone else who has lived through the experience, a nod will suffice to acknowledge your shared pain, but to explain it to the person who has not been there, mere words seem inadequate to the task. So it is with lutefisk. One could bandy about the time honored phrases like "nauseating sordid gunk", "unimaginably horrific", "lasting psychological damage", but these seem hollow when applied to the task at hand. I will have to resort to a recipe for a kind of metaphorical lutefisk, to describe the experience. Take marshmallows made without sugar, blend them together with overcooked Japanese noodles, and then bathe the whole liberally in acetone. Let it marinate in cod liver oil for several days at room temprature. When it has achieved the appropriate consistency (though the word "appropriate" is somewhat problematic here), heat it to just above lukewarm, sprinkle in thousands of tiny, sharp, invisible fish bones, and serve.

Yup.

My mom used to make good bread until she passed on in January. I really need to find her "manual" so I can try to make it before its lost forever. I have seen her do it many times so I should be able to do it, but I can't remember what she had in them.

From what I have seen (on tv) the most common bread in the US and many other countries is white bread (think you call it that anyways). Over here most bread is whole-grain and multi-grain.
If any of you have a good manual for some good white bread with some special addons or ingredients that makes em extra good then please post them. We mainly eat white bread on special occations cause our stomacs are used to the other kinds i guess.

You do realize that all Soviet breadmakers have any agitators removed?
