When I used to make bread, I always knew it was mine because of the kinds of oil I'd use.
But it's so long that I'm not sure. I think I was more into safflower oil, almond oil, walnut oil than into olive oil in those days.
Also, I have always used milk for the liquid and egg. This is bread machine bread mind you.
However, I never follow the God forsaken bread machine recipes re. salt. There is no @($#!@(#$(!($*!($#* earthly sense to all that salt. WE DO NOT NEED it. It's bad for us. To heck with worrying about super even rises. Taste and health matter much more.
Experiment with different ingredients and find what tastes like Steve's bread.
OK?
