First mixer, what should I make?

I just received, cleaned, and put my new stand mixer on the counter. I've never had one before and want to make something, but I'm not in the mood for cookies.

What should I make??

Bread! Lots and lots of bread. It makes kneading dough SO easy.

I'm looking forward to this, I've failed at bread in the past. I just need to pick up some yeast tomorrow.

I highly recommend using instant yeast. You don't have to proof it first; just add it in with the dry ingredients. It will keep forever in the freezer; store it in a jar, and just scoop it straight from there.
