NEW Bread Machine!!!

I can't even believe how excited I was to get a brand new spanking bread machine!!
The one that I had was a little old but still working... till recently. It would let the bread rise then kneed it randomly resulting is very odd bread that was Extremely stuck in the machine. We ended up ripping it out in chunks and my lovely boyfriend turned the bread chunks into a casserole. 
In need of a new one I started hunting them down to see how much one would cost. I couldn't believe how much they cost! I really wanted one that made bread like a typical loaf (bakes horizontal) as opposed to our previous vertical one.


Fortunately my brother was able to get me a discount on one at the place he works. We agreed on one and I gave him the money, but when I went to pick it up, it wasn't the one we had agreed upon. It was even better!!

 

Here is the bread machine we got. We got it for $230! Ok yes that is quite a bit of money, but as long as it lasts more then a year it is completely worth it. Homemade bread all the time! Yum!

Look at all those functions! Yes, I can make Jam! and Pasta! What, what?! Can't wait to try them out!
Thought I'd start with something simple however, a plain white bread for the win!

It turned out soooo good, better then any of the bread I'd made in the old machine. It's huge loaf too. In fact we discovered this morning it is so big it won't fit in our little toaster. hmm... I did make the biggest possible loaf. Next time I'll try the smaller one, heh heh.
Definitely will post new things I make with with the new bread machine! Can't wait to make Sun Dried Tomato and Feta Bread! If anyone has an awesome bread machine recipe let me know!
