Bread machine recipe needed
Comments (7)Here is a recipe that is much easier than doing it by hand and works quite nicely. Any food processor worth its salt should be able to do the job. Perfect Processor Pastry 3 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed 1/2 cup cold lard, cubed 1 egg 2 tsp white vinegar Ice water * In processor fitted with metal blade, combine flour and salt. Process to mix. Using on/off motion (or 'pulse'), cut in butter and lard until mixture resembles fine crumbs with a few larger pieces. * In measuring cup beat egg until foamy; add vinegar and enough ice water to make 2/3cup. With motor running, add egg mixture all at once; process just until dough starts to clump together and form a ball. * Remove and divide into 3 portions; press into balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let cold pastry stand for 15 minutes at room temperature before rolling. Makes enough for three 9-inch single crust pies....See MoreNeed yummy dairy-free bread recipes

Keane and Daniella Chance APPLE OAT BREAD (lactose-free, milk-free, high-protein) Makes a 2-pound recipe with changes for 1-1/2-pound (---) and 1-pound [---] 1-7/8 (1-1/2) [1] cups apple juice 2 T. (1-1/2) [1] canola oil 3-1/2 (2-2/3) [1-3/4] cups whole wheat bread flour (I freshly mill mine, but King Arthur White Wheat flour would be a fairly good sub.) 1 (3/4) [1/2] c. oat flour * (see note below) 1/2 (1.3) [1/4] c. oat bran 1/4 c. (3 T.) [2 T.) date sugar (or 1 t. white or brown sugar per cup flour) 4 (3) [2] T. vital wheat gluten 1 (3/4) [1/2] t. salt 2-1/2 (2) [1] t. active dry yeast Regular/basic cycle. * Note: You can make oat flour at home. 1. Place 1-1/2 c. oatmeal (quick or old-fashioned, uncooked) in a blender or food processor. 2. Blend or process for about 60 seconds. Makes about 1 cup oat flour. 3. Store in tightly covered container in the freezer or the refrigerator. --------------------------- PEANUT BUTTER AND HONEY BREAD 1-3/4 (1-3/8) [7/8] c. water 4 (3) [2] T. honey 1/2 (3/8) [1/4] c. peanut butter 1/2 (3/8) [1/4] cup thick rolled oats 4 (3) [2] c. whole wheat bread flour 1 (3/4) [1/2] t. salt 4 (3) [2] t. active dry yeast Regular/Basic cycle. ---------------------------------------- Source: Bread Machines for Dummies IRISH POTATO BREAD 1-1/2 pound loaf with changes for 2-pounds in (----) 1/4 (1/2) c. potato water 4 t. (2 T.) oil 1 egg (same) 1/2 (3/4) c. mashed potatoes 1/3 (1/2) c. chopped onions (optional) 1 T. (4 t.) sugar 3/4 (1) t. salt 2-1/3 (3-1/2) c. bread flour 1-1/2 (2-1/4) t. active dry yeast 1. Be sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature before you place them in your bread pan in the order listed. 2. Select the Normal or Basic setting and a light to medium crust color and press Start. 3. Open the lid after the machine has kneaded the dough for about 5 minutes. The dough should be formed into a very soft, sticky ball. If the dough is sticking to the sides or the bottom of the pan, you need to add a bit more bread flour. If the dough is crumbly and not in a ball, or if the ball appears firm, add more water. Your machine still has kneading time and will work the water into your bread dough. Keep checking your dough until you are satisfied that a soft, sticky ball has formed. 4. After the machine has completed the baking cycle, remove the pan from the machine and the bread from the pan to cool on a wire rack. If you cut the bread before it's cooled about an hour, it will look doughy. The bread has to cool completely to allow the structure to set....See MoreNew bread recipe - Fruit and Nut Breakfast Bread
Comments (49)Teresa, this bread is so good even after making major screw ups. Decided to try it in the bread machine on dough cycle with baking in the oven. Just as I was preparing to drain the fruit and add it, I found out a person I'd contacted about getting some fertile chicken eggs from to set under my broody hen had six for me. Out of show quality roosters and for free. And he said come and get them now. The bell rang for the addition of the drained fruit and nuts. I knew I hadn't drained the fruit enough, but I was in a hurry. Took off and halfway to my destination realized the dough cycle would be over a good while before I'd get back home. Sorry, but I really wanted those special eggs. The guy showed me all his show birds and got a lot of info from him. By the time I got back home I think the dough cycle had been done for two hours. I had a very wet dough that had risen in the pan then collapsed. Oh well, try to save it. Dumped it out on a liberally floured surface and kneaded in more flour, put it in the pans and let it rise. It did rise a little over the top of the pans.Tried my best and stuck it in the oven. It came out at 25 minutes completely done and beautiful except I didn't get the fruit and nuts distributed well. I've already eaten nearly half a loaf. Love it! Next time I think I'll add more cinnamon, follow the recipe on draining the fruit and not running out in the middle of it to get fertile eggs.

Comments (5)Here is my favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies..... ~2 cups peanut butter ~2 cups sugar ~2 eggs ~1 teaspoon vanilla ~Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets. ~Beat peanut butter and sugar in bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla ~Roll dough into 1" balls and place 2" apart on cookie sheet. With tines of fork, press crosshatches to flatten. ~Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on rack. For this recipe, I've found that natural peanut butters (the kind you have to stir together) do not work well. I also like to vary it by adding different kinds of chips. Chocolate, peanut butter and white chocolate are all good. I also don't usually bother to flatten them with a fork and they still come out fine....See Morelucillle
