Any Home Bakers Here?

I love to bake & have several bread recipes, both quick & yeast, including some from my great gramma's wedding book. The trickiest part of yeast breads is rise time. I've found that a heavy ceramic bowl is ideal. You fill the bowl with hot water & let it "soak" until you're ready to rise the dough. Then wipe it dry, lightly grease it, put in the dough ball, cover it with a "flour sack" type dish towel & set it in a warm spot. I've found the back edge of the top of the fridge works well. The best place is a gas oven with a pilot light but most don't have those any more. You can also heat your oven to no more than 100°, turn it off & put the bowl in there. Dont forget to lightly grease both the bowl & the dough ball & don't let the dough ball or the yeast get cool as that will retard it's growth. Have fun & good luck!

Ok so that is started,
Very quick prep time.
But I realized that with my new found Egg / salt knowledge if I should be mixing the salt with the eggs in my recipes or still with the flour?

BOOM!

Did it again Ron!

You have changed my CornBread!

Grandmas is way better than Jiffy! you all must give it a try.
It is moist and sweet and the deep color just makes it look more tasty as well!




They only problem I have with the recipe,
It says it serves 9

I think they meant Chickens certainly not 9 humans

Hi and

so glad you decided to join us.

Looks like you have never posted under the New Members forum, and hope you will do so to get a proper welcoming.


Thanks for the tips. Would love to see some of your family recipes if you care to share.

I only have a raisin bread recipe for a bread machine, would also like to see if someone has a really good one. If not, I can post that one and you could add cinnamon?
