100% semolina, Italian semolina, whole wheat, challah and bran muffins. (monkey bread can be found under "cakes")





The bread machine is a wonderful appliance to have at your disposal. I use it often but for the most part I use the "dough" option and bake my bread in the oven. There is no time difference in allowing the machine to go through the complete baking process nor is there a difference in taste. I just prefer shaping my own bread. The following recipes for semolina breads are my favorites. If you like toast, these make a crunchy tasty toast that is unbelievable.
