Bread Recipe Update

This summer, it does seem I post a photo of bread every week and a half or so.  That is because every week and a half or so we make a loaf in the bread machine.

   

We like a thick, hand-cut slice of wheat toast to accompany homemade soup. I love the smell while it's baking. The aroma fills the apartment and it was especially welcome as we had rain today. We've had such little rain lately, it really felt like a blessing to have grey skies and precipitation.

Here's a recipe I made from scratch to use in the duel-paddle Westbend.  This is the most recent copy as it has gone through a number of revisions over the past couple of months:
