That simple recipe is terrific.

In the 1990's I was an Engineer on a ship and we had a bread machine in the Engine Control Room. We had fresh bread at every meal. That machine was in use for several years. Amazing. The Interns ran it and one made a number of different types of bread. He was asked where he learned to bake, he made it up as he went. After I left the ship, we got a machine at home. You can make your own bread for about $0.15 per loaf.
