I will start by saying bread is an art form to make.

I will second that by saying that no "bread maker" is required.

There are a few thing you need to make great bread.

The first will be time.

The second is a heavy duty mixer. (kitchen-aid with dough hook)

and the third is space.

I can post photos and directions for multiple different breads.

I will respond with request or favorites, and instructions. I am a phenomenal baker and will help anyone with questions.

Brush on the egg wash. Bake at 350 for 30-45mins, untill the bread is golden brown and has a hollow sound when you thump the bottom of the loaf, or test with a dry toothpick, and when it is clean and dry pull the loaf(s).
