After reading this thread, got a hunkering for fresh baked bread. Total time to finished bread cooling on the rack < 2 hours. I have a mixer with a dough hook I don't own a proofing box. I'm just very careful with my convection oven to proof my dough.

Baking bread doesn't have to be an all day affair while making a mess in kitchen. The two hours include cleaning of equipment.

If hubby really wants it but you don't want to make it. He is a big boy learn to make his own especially if he is using a bread machine.

This cook goes on a strike fairly often.
