Everyday Bread
I have a Bosch, so the method would be different by hand. this recipe makes 6 8" loaves.

Combine:
6 cups warm water
3 Tbsp SAF yeast
1 cup honey or brown sugar
1 cup oil
6 cups freshly ground wheat flour

Let sponge for 15-20 minutes.

Add:
2 Tbsp salt
3 Tbsp dough conditioner (opt.)
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten (opt.)
Mix and add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead 7 minutes all together.

Turn out onto an oiled surface. Divide into 6 parts. Shape into loaves and put into lightly greased pans. Place in oven and let rise for about 20 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned. I bake at 325 on the convection setting for 22 minutes.

I use this recipe to make bread, rolls (freeze right after shaping for homemade rolls anytime...defrost and rise (covered)for four hours, bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes) and cinnamon bread (brush dough with softened butter, spread with brown sugar and cinnamon, then shape into loaves and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. You can add raisins to it as well.

Enjoy!

French Bread Rolls

Here are the rolls I prepared for Easter this year (and many other dinner besides). Delicious! They taste even better than my favorite bakery's bread and they're so easy to make!

French Bread Rolls
3 cups water
2 Tbsp yeast
4 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
8 cups bread flour

Mix water, yeast and sugar; let proof (sit) for 10 minutes. Then add oil, salt and 2 cups of the flour. Stir well. Add remaining flour slowly and then knead into a soft dough. I kneaded in my Bosch for 4 minutes.

Turn out into oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour. Punch down and divide into 36 rolls. Let rise on slightly greased pans for about 40 minutes. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes. If you wish to have a crustier crust, place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven while baking.

Here's a tasty recipe that is good enough for daily bread.

Multi Grain Bread
1 1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup seven grain blend
2 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp EACH millet, amaranth, flax seeds, sesame seeds
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
2 Tbsp EACH oil and honey
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast
2 tsp dough enhancer (optional)
2 1/2 to 3 cups whole wheat flour

I have a Bosch, so the method is easy!

Combine all the ingredients except the whole wheat flour. Let sponge for 15 minutes. Mix in the whole wheat flour as needed until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead for five minutes. Turn out onto an oiled surface and form into 2 loaves. Place in lightly oiled pans, and allow to rise until double. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned and hollow sounding when thumped.

Albers Cornbread

{ 12:35, Monday, November 26, 2007 } { Posted in Bread } { 2 comments } { Link }

Tonight I'm preparing home-made chili and cornbread. We just love the recipe from the Albers box of cornmeal.

Albers Cornbread
2 cups Albers yellow cornmeal
2 cups all purpose flour (I use 1 white and 1 pastry)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
2/3 cups oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400. Grease a 9x13.
Combine dry and wet ingredients well in separate bowls. Add wet to dry and mix just until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.

For muffins you use can use paper liners or simply grease the tins, fill 2/3 full and bake for 15 minutes.

You may halve the recipe and use an 8x8.

Blessings,
Momma

Apple Bread

This is what we ate this morning for breakfast. The Lambies liked it! I had planned to make banana bread, but our bananas had been eaten up without my noticing. So through the recipe file I went, and found this one.

Apple Bread
3/4 cup finely chopped, peeled apples
3/4 cups warm apple juice
1/4 cup applesauce
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast

Add all ingredients to the bread machine and bake on basic setting.

Since I don't have a bread machine, I just adapted the recipe to my Bosch as follows:

Combine applesauce, juice, butter, brown sugar, yeast and the whole wheat flour in mixing bowl. Let sponge 10 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients, mix then use more or less bread flour to make a soft dough that sweeps the sides of the bowl clean. Let knead five minutes. Remove from bowl to an oiled surface; and divide into balls. Form into loaves and let rise in a warm place till double (30 minutes or so). Bake at 350 for 22-25 minutes.

We tripled this and I made the applesauce just before making the bread, since I didn't have any on hand. I used Granny Smith apples.

Enjoy!

Can you tell I like garlic bread? I am always trying a new recipe when I make pasta. I actually took a picture of the bread I made last week. I thought it came out so pretty!
Here's the recipe:

Braided Garlic Bread

Combine in your Bosch bowl:
1 1/2 cup very warm water
3 Tbsp dry milk powder
1 cup freshly milled whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached flour
2 Tbsp yeast
Mix until combined. Then add:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp minced garlic
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
Mix to combine, then add more unbleached flour until the sides of the bowl begin to come clean. Knead for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into half.

Shape each half into a rectangle about 15" x 9". Spread with softened butter and sprinkle generously with garlic salt parmesan cheeses and parsley. Roll up like a jelly roll Place on greased baking sheet. Cut each roll in half lengthwise and twist each slice over itself. Secure the ends with a little pinch. Sprinkle with more garlic salt.

Herbed Garlic Bread

{ 12:39, Tuesday, September 18, 2007 } { Posted in Bread } { 0 comments } { Link }

Here's a super-easy garlic bread spread that saves having to purchase the pre-made margarine laden loaves from the store. I use this if I haven't time or desire to bake a loaf of home-made Italian bread. It's very easy and tasty, too! We usually double this for our family.

Herbed Garlic Bread Spread

Preheat oven to 400.

1/2 cup softened butter
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic salt, to taste (I use 1/4 tsp)
1 loaf French bread

Combine the butter and spices together well. Split French bread loaf lengthwise and spread generously. Place on baking sheet and bake in oven until as crisp as desired, about 10 minutes. May be broiled for a minute if extra crispness is desired.
