Rye bread recipe
Comments (13)This is the recipe, as written, from my BH&G cookbook circa 1960: Swedish Rye Bread 2 loaves 1 PKG active dry yeast 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup light molasses 1 Tablespoon salt 2 Tablespoons shortening 1-1/2 cups hot water 2-1/2 cups stirred medium Rye Flour 2 Tablespoons grated orange peel 3-1/2 to 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour Oven 375ºF Soften yeast in warm water (110º). In a large bowl, combine sugar, molasses,salt,and shortening. Add hot water and stir till sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in Rye Flour: beat well. Add softened yeast and orange peel; mix well. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Knead on well-floured surface till smooth and satiny (about 10 minutes). Place dough in lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover; let rise in warm place till double (1-1/2 to 2 hours). Punch down. Turn out on lightly floured surface; divide in 2 portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Pat dough in 2 round loaves; place on greased baking sheet. (Or shape in 2 oblong loaves and place in greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2" bread pans.) Cover and let rise in warm place till double. Bake at 375ºF about 25 to 30 minutes. Place foil loosely over tops last 10 minutes if necessary. For softer crust, brush with melted butter. Cool on rack....See MoreLooking for BH&G 1953 quick shrimp curry recipe
Comments (9)I haven't seen the frozen C of S soup for years either. I first came across the canned type about five years ago in a cut rate food store that I think got them from freight damaged shipments. (These were not dented or damaged in any way but perhaps part of the case was.) I bought all they had. Then about a year ago I found them in a very large supermarket in a larger town. Now they're available in medium sized town supermarkets but not yet in my small 3,000 Pop. town. I've got my stash and replenish it whenever I get low and hit a larger town. LOL Of course, without the recipe, I came up with some "interesting" variations. Thanks again for the real thing Teresa....See MoreBread machine cookbook recommendations?
Comments (8)"The Bread Lovers Bread Machine Cookbook" has a lot of good recipes, and I've liked everything I've made from it. I found the Dummies book very annoying, probably because I am not a dummy and should have considered that before I bought it. I personally would be insulted if anyone gave me a dummy book. It's okay to buy it for yourself, but I think it may send the wrong message if given as a gift. I also got rid of my bread machine and now make most of my bread dough in my Kitchenaid mixer. Actually, the machine died and I decided not to replace it. I mixed most of the dough before I put it in the machine anyway, and I found that it did not save me much time. I did like it for making pizza dough, but I'm fine making that with my mixer as well. I still use the Bread Lovers recipes when making bread in my mixer....See MoreAnnie's Grandmother's White Bread Recipe
