The magic of a bread machine! 🍞
The bread trend has finally hit me!
It feels like half the world has tried baking bread at some point during self-quarantine.
Okay, I'm not yet at sourdough-level expertise.
But I still felt the urge to join the fun and bake delicious home-made bread.
Last week, I was brave enough to open up my mother's 20-year-old bread machine and I couldn’t be more amazed.
Why haven't I heard more about this invention before? Why haven't I been using this every day of my life?
If you don't know about the bread machine secret, let me clue you in: Basically, it's a machine that lets you put in all the ingredients at once and close the cover. It does all the work for you! I mean, it does everything! It mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes the bread to heavenly perfection.
Please tell me why I used to think that baking bread required spending hours in the kitchen and making huge messes? Who would have dreamt that making bread can be so incredibly EASY??
Okay, you knew that I would find a business lesson… so here it is:
