Canadian living breads and pizzas

Crusty bran bread : page 25

This is my favourite bread machine loaf. I always sub oil for the butter and use ground flax for part of the bran. It rises well in the machine and is great for sandwiches or with soups.

Rustic Italian loaf : page 14

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface) I follow their oven temps and resting period and the resulting bread is amazing. I’ve also done the whole grain version which is also excellent.
This is a bread I’ve made dozens of times, everyone seems to love it.
