Homemade bread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Does using a bread machine to mix and knead the dough count? I make bread but let the machine do all the kneading. Then I put the dough in a greased pan and let it rise and then bake it. Then I smear butter all over the hot loaf and let it cool. I make honey-oatmeal bread, white bread, cinnamon raisin bread, Italian bread, and others. I love the taste and smell of home made bread.

Homemade bread is the only way to go.

1 T yeast
1/3 C warm water
Dissovle yeast in above.

3 cups any liquid. Depending on how you want bread to taste. Suggestions (milk, fruit juice, sweet potato juice, potato water...get creative)
1T salt
1/4 sweetener (sugar, brown sugar, honey, corn syrup)
1/3 either oil, lard, butter
3 or 4 cups unbleached, put in alternating
3 or 4 cups whole wheat

You can add about anything. I at a hand full cornmeal and oats too sometimes. If you add anything-take away from what the basic recipe is. example: add one cup oats-take away 1 cup flour.

You can make garlic bread, sweet bread, regular bread, rolls, any thing out of this recipe, just change the seasonings or add another 1/2 cup sweetener for cinnamon rolls....

Anyone have any good 100% whole wheat recipes that didn't turn out like a brick? :bang:


Go to the King Arthur Flour website.....do a search for Classic 100% Whole Wheat Bread Recipe. This recipe used to be on the side of their Whole Wheat Flour (may still be). I've made it several times.......it's the best whole wheat bread recipe I've tried.

I used to have a bread machine in which I used wholemeal flour from a local (well fairly local, it is about 15 miles away. Does that count as local? ) windmill where they grind their own flour. If I remember it came out quite well but as it was untreated, you had to add a crushed vitamin C tablet.

I looked in my bread machine book and it gave some reasons for a loaf that collapses. 1. If baked at high altitude try reducing yeast by 1/4 tsp and reducing liquid by 2-3 teaspoons.
2. Exceeding capacity of pan. Do not use more ingredients than recommended.
3. Not enough salt or omitted salt. Use amount of salt called for.
4. Too much yeast or wrong type. Measure right type of yeast accurately.
5. Warm, humid weather. Reduce liquid by 1 Tbsp and reduce yeast by 1/4-1/2 tsp.
Hope this is helpful. CJP56.
