I am way behind the bread baking carnival that happened a few weeks ago but wanted to post a link to my new favorite bread recipe http://armyofseven.blogspot.com/2006/04/history-of-bread-making-in-my-family.html  I have made this recipe 3 times now and done both plain and several cinnamon sugar loaves!  She even inspired me to take one loaf to a neighbor or friend each time I baked a loaf!

I have always loved baking bread but have gotten away from it since dd #5 was born 9 months ago and then throw a move in and it makes for a little chaos :)

I have always used my kitchenaid mixer but I even (gasp) tried this recipe kneeding by hand! 

I found 3 new pans at IKEA recently that are a little longer and make for nice sandwich sized loaves.  I still prefer my stone loaf pan but only have one of those.

There is nothing better than fresh baked bread any time of of the day!
