Obviously, I had my work cut out for me. I do have an old bread machine, so I gave it a whirl.
I followed the directions in the instruction manual for plain white bread.
I was really excited about this new endeavor, until the machine beeped and I found this inside. WTF?!
As it turns out, the yeast had expired and didn't have the necessary rising effect on the dough. This probably explains the weird conehead shape.
With a little butter the bread tasted okay, but I clearly have my work cut out for me.

I just had to laugh at the goofy looking bread. I love my bread machine but it does crazy things like that sometimes too, even when my yeast is perfectly good! Hope your next loaf turns out prettier. :)
Hi Suz! I was so mad when this thing came out of the breadmaker--it just looked so weird! They get better, I promise!
I have had the best luck with the White Bread recipe out of my Betty Crocker cook book! I bake a few loaves at least once a month now. I don't have a bread machine, so I just let mine rise in the oven after turning it on for a few minutes and then off again, or by placing a big pot of boiled water in the bottom of the oven to keep it nice and warm in there!
I'm loving your blog! :-)
