I have reached the 500 loaf mark!

My 4 year anniversary of celiac diagnosis is this month. I have baked 2 - 3 loaves of bread a week every week since then. If you calculate it out, that means I have baked over 500 loaves now. And they taste pretty good after working all the kinks out on the first 50 loaves or so. Laughing

I think some nice bread machine manufacturer should donate a machine to me to commemorate this occasion. Very Happy

Pretty much the only kind I make anymore is Elizabethe Barbone's sandwich bread recipe, the easy version that is from Delphi (the #7 post in that thread). It never fails, and the taste and texture are great. I mix up the dry ingredients 10 at a time so all I have to do is dump, add the wet ingredients and go.

Aw, man, I forgot to include all the times I have made that flatbread recipe. That probably adds another 50 to the count right there. My husband and kids like bread Shocked

The more I eat the flat bread, the more I like it!

Seriously, that's amazing! You should start up your own "I make something every day" blog like the crock pot lady.

Good to know that the kitchen aid has been good- I'm guessing mine will last forever since I use it- but not nearly as much as you!

WOW! That's a lot of bread.
I'm lazy and wrap everything in corn tortillas. If I'm feeling motivated I make english muffins to use for burgers too. Wink
