Fresh Bread

I have had a bread machine for years and probably only used it a few times. Since we find ourselves buying bread all the time, it's time to make some home made bread. I've made the whole wheat bread before and it was not too tasty...I guess it's definitely not like soft white bread. But we've been eating whole wheat bread for many years, so we're used to it. I decided to start fresh and bought all the flours, yeast, powdered milk new. Well, here is the result...it turned out pretty good, definitely a dense bread and we'll see how well it holds. Supposedly, it is only good for 3 days before getting hard. By then, we could make some croutons, or they could be gone! I will try the cheese and onion bread next time.
