I've been on a bread making kick. I am making my own bread now instead of purchasing at the local store. With the rising price of flour and such, I am now making my own for my large family. I Hope you enjoy the recipes!
1 1/2 pound loaf
1cup plus 2 TBS water
1/2 cup chopped or minced onion
1 TBS margarine or butter softened
3 1/4 cups Bread Flour, but ** remember Diane said try reg. flour
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS dry milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp regular active dry yeast
*There are times that I substitute milk for the water and warm up in the micro till reach 80 degrees and omit the dry milk
Small Loaf 1 pound
2/3 cups water *
1/3 cup chopped or minced onion
2 tsp margarine or butter softened
2 cups bread flour **
1TBS sugar
2 tsp dry milk *
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp regular active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 TBS oil
2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup instant potato flakes
2 1/2 tsps active dry yeast
Add more water that is 80 degrees if the dough is dry, add by TBS slowly until it is sticky
This is what I do in my Toastmaster bread machine..............
1 pound loaf:
3/4 cup of water 80 degree temp
4 tsp oil veg.
4 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups of reg flour like Pillsbury or Robin Hood
Red star active dry yeast 1 1/2 tsp
Put all ingredients into the bread container in the order given above. I then put it on DOUGH Program. I then hit the start button. I check it in a few mins to see if the ingredients are combined nicely. Then when the time is up I think it is 1 1/2 hours I put the dough onto a floured board and then into the greased only loaf pan. It raises and I bake it approx 30 mins at 350.
