Bread Fail

I broke out Mom's ancient bread machine. It looks like R2D2, only white. Who ever thought a bucket shaped loaf of bread was a good idea? Well i'll tell you this, it sure smells like a good idea.

I've never used a bread machine before. But lately i've been trying to make bread, and making an enormous mess, so i figured, why not? For similar reasons (ie, why not) i've decided to make rye bread on the machine's maiden voyage. Ok, so it's not really a maiden. But 15+ years of sitting on a shelf have given it back it's virginity - it's out of practice. Unfortunately, it seems the machine really is out of practice. Either that, or the recipe i used for rye bread was crap. Tastes like fresh bread... but not very rye-y, nor delicious. Tastes like wheat bread, and a little bit burnt.


Bread Machine (similar robot model):
R2D2:
I wonder if r2d2 can make bread? Wasn't really a skill showcased in any of the movies, but could be useful. Stranded on a cold desert planet? No worries, robot makes delicious fluffy bread from scratch. I'll have to ask husband, he'll know.

  1. The bread wasn't bad at all! It wasn't great, but not crap! Maybe you need to try a different recipe.

    PS: R2 was equiped with oil, a turch, and enough bottoms to enter a complicated bread recipe, so I think definitely it would have been able to produce a great rye bread, as depicted in "Return of the Jedi" when R2 is offered as a great baker to Jabba the Hutt
