Is this bread in a bread machine OJ?

Cuz,if its the good old fashioned way,and you turn it anyway at all as its rising,it will fall..all will be in vain.

If its in a machine,I would think you may do some harm to the mechanics of the machine doing that..I wouldnt suggest it.

Its "supposed" to be puffy on top.*S*

When I do mine,and its the good old traditional homemade by hand type,I always roll it out after the first rising with a rolling pin to get out all and any air,then let it rise in the pans ...once up,bake it!

Good luck,whichever way you choose!

Hi ont-gal,

The bread that the bread-machine makes is sort of like the Baker that runs the house, I guess - a bit puffy on top.

Enjoy your day - and what's left of the week.

P.S. It looks as though we'll have to get together next year for a birthday party - your house or mine?

well,we're at opposite ends of the 401..should meet in the middle!

The smell of bread baking is another wonderful gift from God.

I buy frozen dinner rolls, all formed, ready to defrost, rise and bake. Yesterday, I made a pot of soup, and took some rolls out to get ready to bake. I was just about to put them in the pre-heated oven, when the power went out (electric stove) and by the time the power came back on, a little over an hour later, the rolls had fallen, but I baked them anyways. They didn't rise much, and were sort of dense in texture, but were still tasted good. Atually they were a little crustier than usual. (Kind of like me. LOL) dottie

It is on e of the most wonderful smells! I use my breadmaker whenever I make bread. I just don't eve think of the old fashioned way. Probably becuase it works so well in the machine and less hassle! so good though! Enjoy it OJ!

I'm baking Irish Soda Bread today, in ho9nor of St. Patrick. It's in the oven right now. Can't smell anything yet. No yeast in the recipe. I hate working with yeast, and it hates me!

I'm a bit disappointed.

I got a batch of that Amish Friendship bread more or less self-rising bread (that seems to me more like cake) from Iva Mae, but didn't deal with it correctly, and I have some mixes around here that aren't putting out the carbon dioxide that puffs up the bags.

I had a mix that had had the additions part way through, but didn't make new batches from the additions, a while ago and added the usual ingredients ... it turned out all right.

I need to wash some dishes and do another, tonight, I think, or it'll soon go bad.

Good wishes for a delightful weekend, shared with friends.

Good thing that I remembered the "r" in that last word.

Got pics?

Hey, try these, delicious!
Awesome with que'd ribs!

CHEESE BISCUITS LIKE JIM N NICK'S

A restaurant I go to has these cheese biscuits. The restaurant is Jim n Nicks BBQ. They aren't biscuits at all and should be called cheese muffins.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup suger
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp. butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla *** this is what makes Jim 'n Nicks so famous

Mix ingredients together, pour into greased muffin pan and at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until done

Years and years ago... back when I had roommates at different times... which we won't go into... we'd occasionally buy the frozen loaves of bread dough and make. They were actually quite good. The heavenly smell of the bread baking and it was pretty foolproof. We proved that! Oh it reminded me and I forgot until just now about the fabulous smell whem my Mother would make dinner rolls for the holidays! OH! I'm smacking my lips right now. But that hot-from-the-oven bread being cut open, watching the steam rise... no I couldn't wait until it cooled! And I'm armed with my knife and some butter and peanut butter! Yes, Either I need to get breadmaking supplies or frozen dough is going on the grocery list.

I should have looked for a roommate or two that could cook better than I do so I wasn't the primary cook. One got particularly ornery when I told her she could burn Jell-O. Twern't far from accurate.

I should break out the breadmaker. Or at least make some beer bread. Or maybe I'll pick up some frozen loaves again for old times sake.

Speaking of frozen bread dough.....I used to buy the honey-wheat bread dough and we liked it so much. I got layed of at work and had time on my hands, so decided to try to make honey-wheat bread from scratch. As usual, when I took on a new project, I went off all gung-ho. So I bought a large container of dry yeast, and mixed up the dough. It rose nicely, then I formed the dough and put it in the bread pans and let it rise again. After baking, when I took the pans of bread out of the oven, the loaves were as flat as bricks. The bread tasted good, but was dense in texture. I kept trying, but with the same results. Finally DS, looking at the latest batch of "bricks" he said , "If you made enough of these, we could build a BBQ!" I went back to work and buying the frozen bread dough. LOL, Dottie

Glenda, those cheese biscuits sound so good.

I have the oven heating for a loaf of sourdough right now!
I love the smell of fresh baked bread.
