Well, we finally dug our bread machine out of the basement...(we finally found the book that goes with it last week, and so hadnt been able to use it..)... So far today we've (well i should say DH..i havent helped much. ) made wheat bread, have a potato bread baking now...maybe pretzels next?... Anyone have any bread machine recipes i can try?? Thanks
I think you can use any recipe in the bread machine. You just don't want to use the ones that make 2 mombo loaves. Just a one loaf recipe should work fine.
I use my bread machine almost daily. I actually only use the dough cycle and bake my bread in the oven. It comes out looking like an actual loaf of bread that way, but with much more consistant results. This is my family's favorite roll recipe: Oatmeal Rolls Prep time: 10 min. Bake 350* Yield: 12 rolls 1 c. water ¾ tsp. salt ½ c. oats 1/6 c. cold water 1/3 c. brown sugar 2 c. whole wheat flour 2 ½ Tbls butter 1 Tbls instant yeast Cook quick oats in boiling water uncovered for one minute. Add sugar, butter, salt, and cold water to oats. Let sit until butter is melted. Pour into bread machine bowl, add flour then make a small well for yeast. Place in machine and set on dough cycle. Remove and form into 12 rolls, place on pizza stone and let rise until double. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
If you have a cake function on it (or if your instruction book tells you about how to do cake in it), you can make pound cake. I posted about my experience with it https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=224058 I plan on trying banana bread. Maybe this week.
I do sourdough in mine all the time. Set your sponge the night before with your sourdough starter. The next day, pour off 1/2 cup into a scalded glass jar & refrigerate to save for next time. You should have about 2 cups of sponge left. Pour that into your bread machine, add 3 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons fat (oil, Crisco or butter) and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon of warm water. Set the machine on white bread function & enjoy the finished product! Sometimes I like to add a couple teaspoons of poppy seeds to it just for the "crunch". Another thing we like is to set the machine for regular white bread function; when it beeps add 1 pkg dry onion soup mix and about a cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Edited to add the baking soda--almost forgot that! it's an essential part of sourdough baking.
hi- i love playing with my bread machine- have 3 all bought used for cheap. go to my blog http://www.babettesnjfeast.com/ and click the heading for bread machine. there's a great recipe for brioche (cooked in muffin tins in oven) and goat cheese/black pepper bread cooked in machine, and of course pizza and calzone.
