R&R ctmom05 Homemade bread recipe

tastycook1 — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:41:20 GMT

I stumbled on this recipe this morning, posted on Budget Living, and as I was about to make some bread anyway, decided to try it today. It really is light and lovely. The only change i made was to bake it as 2 -1lb loaves instead of 1 -2lb. That just suits our appetites better. The egg makes it a little richer than the white bread I usually make but makes a very pleasant change and will fit in nicely to the rotation of recipes I use. I did not use the cornmeal - it makes too much mess when I take the bread out of the pan. Guess I'm inherenntly lazy

Homemade Bread
ctmom05
1 cup water
2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
1 envelope active dry yeast(2 ¼ teaspoons or ¼ ounce)
1 egg

Pour 1 cup water into bread machine pan.
Add 2 tablespoons margarine, 2 tablespoons sugar & 1 teaspoon salt .
Add 3 cups bread flour .
Add 1 package active dry yeast(2 1/4 tsp or 1/4 oz).
Add 1 egg in the corner of the pan, so that it is not touching the yeast .

Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start(my machine has a 90 minute dough cycle) It will knead and rise during this cycle .

When the machine's dough cycles ends, take the dough out and place on a floured surface.

Knead for about one minute, which punches down the dough and makes it easier to shape .

Using a regular sized loaf pan(9"x5") - grease with a little bit of margarine; and just with a couple of tablespoons of cornmeal. This makes the bread easier to remove from the pan when baked.

Let rise until double in size in prepared pan, covered by a small damp towel, usually takes 30-45 minutes. The towel prevents the top of the loaf from drying out .

Place pan in a cold oven and turn heat on to 350 degrees
Bake for 35 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.
Run butter knife or spatula around the edge of the bread to loosen.
Turn loaf out onto it's side on cooling rack.
Place in gallon size food storage bag or plastic wrap when completely cool(to avoid moisture in bag and on bread) - this takes about an hour .

yield: 1 loaf of bread that weighs about 2 pounds .

suggestions for bread recipe that includes no white flour?

ctmom05 — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:45:25 GMT

I've been baking most all of the bread we eating, relying upon a basic white bread recipe. When we were eating store bought bread, we enjoyed trying various grain mixes.

I have heard over and over that white flour is really lacking in nutrition. Any suggestions for a bread recipe, that uses easily available ingredients, but includes no white flour at all?

Applepraline's & Catsgalore's APPLE PRALINE BREAD

dutchmom4MI — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:24:27 GMT

This recipe needs to be reposted, especially during apple season. Have enough apples on hand for a second loaf... the first loaf quickly disappears.

-- Bake in a 350 oven for 55-60 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. (If necessary, cover loosely with foil the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over browning.) Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Yeast ?

ejwag_pa — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:48:31 GMT

Just a quick question about yeast. Can the quick rise used interchangeable with regular yeast? A friend just asked me that, and I said that I use the quick/rapid rise yeast is used mostly in the bread machine, and the regular yeast for the regular way making bread. Can you uses the rapid rise yeast in a regular recipe for bread? Thanks.

Can allpurpose flour be used in a bread machine?

Rosarose809 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:04:05 GMT

Most of the recipes that I have looked at call for bread flour. I don't have any on hand. Will all purpose flour work? What is the difference between the two? Is there a substitute for bread flour? Thanks for any help. I haven't used my bread machine for quite awhile and am excited to start using it again.

Looking for Libby's Pumpkin Bread

kith63 — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 23:34:51 GMT

Hi All

I had a reciepe about 15-20 years back that I lost that I would like to see if anyone out there might have.

It was titled Libby's Pumpkin Bread.

It was the best pumpkin bread I have ever had. It came as part of one of those "Recipe Clubs". It was printed on a 4 x 5 card with the picture on the front and recipe on the back. It was a pretty dark bread with cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon. I think it might have been called Libby's pumpkin bread because it used Libby's pumpkin.

No-Knead Tupperware Bread

recipefreak_OH — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 16:27:28 GMT

I haven't made this, but sounds so easy.

No Knead Tupperware Bread SO GOOD

Ok. those that are afraid to make bread.. this is GREAT and you don't
have to knead it and you don't get that texture that bread machines
give. Easy to do and excellent.
You just combine ingredients in large tupperware container and let it
burp the lid off.

3 pkgs dry yeast (can use quick rise)
6 T sugar
3 3/4 cups warm water (no more than 105° to 115°)
10 cups all purpose flour(you can substitute some for wheat flour for
a more fiber rich bread.)
6 T stick margarine, melted
1 T salt
2 eggs slightly beaten
nonstick cooking spray

Dissolve sugar in warm water and add yeast in 7 quart tupperware
bowl. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until you see foam rising and know
the yeast is feeding and active.
Add flour, margarine, salt and eggs, stirring until well blended. Cover
container with Tupperware lid and seal. Let stand at room
temperature 1 hour or unitl lid pops off.
Spoon dough evenly into 3 9x5 inch loaf pans coated with cooking
spray. Cover and let dough rise in warm place (85°) free of
drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 350° for 40
minutes until they sound hallow when tapped or reads 190° on a instant
read thermometer.
16 servings per loaf
110 cal
2 fat
1.9 fiber
If you substitute whole wheat flour for half this the fiber rate goes to 4. That makes it 2 pts per serving.

How to swap out applesauce for eggs/ fat in a quick bread recipe??

KrisGrij — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:55:26 GMT

Hello all!

I need some advice on how to swap out some of the fat from eggs and oil/butter for applesauce in a traditional quickbread recipe. I'd like to make 'peach bread' for some friends that are having brain surgery this week. I had to have the same surgery last February and remember how I didn't want to eat afterwards. Someone made me strawberry bread and it tasted so good! Since they live up north and I'm the Southern Belle of our little support group, I thought I use fresh peaches.

I have found peach pound cake recipes and a peach quickbread recipe, bith calling for melted butter. I didn't know if I could swap out applesauce for some the heavy fats to make it easier on sensitive tummies.

Thanks for all your input and help!

Italian bread help plz

ladyhawke81_2000 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:37:14 GMT

I need advice on getting my Italian bread to have the chewy crust we all enjoy.Not sure if I need to spritz with water during baking or maybe brush with something before baking.My recipe is one that you must punch down every 10 minutes for an hour prior to shaping and allowing to raise for baking.Which seems to give the chewy style im looking for but crust is more like regular homemade bread than chewy like it should be.Any Ideas welcome as I plan making today for our dinner . Thanks
