Bread making fail
I tried to make my first loaf of fresh bread tonight, but sadly it did not rise properly. I threw it in the oven anyways, and it just looks like a lump of dough that was cooked. Ehhh. I will have to keep trying. 
Re: Bread making fail
It was a recipe I found on foodnetwork...I think it is totally my fault though....I don't blame the recipe! Ha ha ha.

I was trying out this supposed Auntie Anne's-style pretzel recipe that I got from somewhere and it so did not turn out like them. They were edible, but very doughy and just not very flavorful.
Our bread machine is great though, I'd recommend getting one. Need to try some of the fancier recipes in it though. It's DH's machine from way back when so he usually makes the bread; I just enjoy
That's always disappointing! When we tried to make bread awhile back, we did several different "test" loaves and varied the ingredient measurements in three different loaves so we had at least one loaf that was marginally edible, or three that failed in different ways!
I would definitely try again, nothing beats homemade bread!
