Introduction
Bread is a snack that can be eaten for dinner, breakfast, or at any time. Most people prefer eating bread accompanied with a drink for breakfast. Waking up to a freshly baked loaf is bliss for loaf lovers. You can bake a homemade loaf by simply following the instructions in the bread machine manual if you have a good machine. The best bread machines allow you to set a cycle, which is definitely preferrable. Most people do a 13-hour cycle where you pre-set all the ingredients in the machine, and the machines automatically bake the loaf. Ingredients are key to getting a mouth-watering bread. Every ingredient counts in the final result. Here is a list of 3 awesome recipes that you can try for a great taste;

Gingerbread is perfect for the morning. The aroma of ginger is therapeutic, and the loaf is great with your choice of tea or coffee. Here is a list of the ingredients that you would require to make a Ginger Bread.
