Adapting Bread Machine Recipes for non-Machine Baking
Comments (8)robin, I adapt non-bread machine recipes to use in the bread machine all the time, I've never found one that didn't turn out, so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way around. I'd mix all the wet ingredients, beat in the dry ones, then knead until it feels right, probably the obligatory 7-10 minutes. Let rise, knock down, shape, rise and bake. Although 350 is my "universal" temp I'd do bread at 375F for 25 or 30 minutes, depending on the shape of the loaf. make sure your liquid ingredients are warm, but not too hot, so you don't kill the yeast. And no, I never proof today's yeast and I haven't experienced any problem, as long as the yeast isn't outdated. Heck, you know my theory on bread. People have been baking it in one form or another for centuries in everything from fireplaces to the most expensive ovens, or on hoes over a fire. Toss everything in a bowl, mix, knead, rise, bake. It'll be good. That recipe, BTW, looks really good, I think I might try that myself as soon as my loaf of high protein honey wheat is gone.

Comments (4)Sally, Baking with Julia is one of my favourite cookbooks. I use her recipe for French bread and it is her recipe I use for Croissants and the Pain au Chocolate. I can highly recommmend both recipes. If you are really in the mood for baking you can't go wrong with the croissants. Make half croissants and half Pain au Chocolate. They freeze well too. I know that there are a few more recipes in that cookbook that I have made, but unfortunately, Moe already boxed up all my cookbooks so I'm without any cookbooks until after we get moved. Or until I have at least 80 feet of bookshelves built. LOL! Ann...See MoreAny tried & true bread recipes?
Comments (5)Oh Taigen you have to make this! I use 4 cups whole wheat and 2 cups white and it's great! (do the oil first, in a measuring cup, then do the honey, and it will pour right out) HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD 3 cups all-purpose flour 3 cups whole wheat flour 2 pkg. active dry yeast 2 sp. salt 1 cup milk 1 cup water 1/2 cup honey 3 Tbsp. oil 1 egg In large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, the yeast, and salt and mix well. In microwave, heat milk, water, honey, and oil until a thermometer reads 120-130 degrees F (warm) Add liquid mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine. Beat this batter for 3 minutes. Then, gradually stir in rest of whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a firm dough. Sprinkle work surface with flour and knead dough, adding more flour if necessary, for 5-8 minutes until smooth and satiny. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning the dough in the bowl to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, until double in bulk. Punch down dough and divide into 2 pieces. On lightly floured surface, roll or press each piece of dough to a 14x7" rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal and place dough, seam-side down, into greased 9x5" bread pans, making sure short ends of bread are snugly fitted against the sides of the pans. Cover and let rise in warm place until the dough fills the corners of the pans and is double in bulk, 30-40 minutes. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until bread is golden brown. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks. I like to brush the bread with butter when it's still hot from the oven for a softer crust....See MoreHave You Tried Any Product New to You and like or dislike?
Comments (53)Nature's Bounty (I think) Hair, Skin, and Nails supplement. I wore acrylic nails for about 25 years. When my lady passed, and the younger crowd started that new "short, thick, gluncky look", I gave up. That was at least 15 years ago. My nails never recovered. Wouldn't grow, would peel apart like layers of old parchment paper, were so thin and brittle ... my fine, thin, hair would not grow past my shoulder blades. I've been taking this about two months. My hair is/ was down to my butt (I got it cut tonight to mid-back - the gal could not stop talking about how silky, and full, my hair was! She had another stylist come over, and they just kept running their fingers through my hair. Husband asked me if I was purring!) My nails are fabulous. Strong and healthy! I have to trim them every weekend, and be careful rubbing my eyes, or scratching an itch, because they are so strong, and long, that I'm not used to them yet. On the flip side, I also have to soak my feet and give myself a pedi every week, because the toenails are getting just as long, and strong! LOL...See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
