Bread Recipes

Postby Emptynester » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:13 pm

TwinsMom's Breadmaker Challah

1 C. Water
1/4 cup butter
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups bread flour
3 T Skim milk powder
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Put ingredients in breadmaker in order listed and process on dough cycle. (Takes 1.5 hours in my breadmaker.)

Remove dough from pan and turn onto lightly floured surfact. Divide into six parts. Roll each part into 18 inch smooth strips which are thick on the middle and thinner on ends. Braid strips and tuck ends under to form two loaves.

Placed on lightly greased baking sheet. Cover with slightly damp, clean cloth. Let rise for 30 minutes or until dough is doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush loaves with egg yolk mixed with 2 t water and bake for 30 - 35 minutes.

The above is the recipe as written. Now....in my breadmaker, I use closer to 4.5 cups of flour; otherwise, the dough comes out too sticky to form. I also shape one large loaf instead of two and in my oven, bake at 350 degrees instead of 375 for the 30 minutes. I usually need to cover the top of the loaf with aluminum foil once it's browned so it doesn't look over done.

It's wonderful! I had to go find a slice and have a snack with a little margarine....

Cranberry-Nut Bread

Postby Emptynester » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:16 pm

Cranberry-Nut Bread

1/3 cup juice; from large orange
1 tablespoon orange zest
2/3 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter; melted
1 large egg; beaten lightly
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups cranberries (about 6 ounces),; chopped coarse
1/2 cup pecans; toasted, chopped coarse

1. To toast pecans, heat griddle over medium heat. Add pecans, chopped coarse; toast, shaking pan frequently, until nuts are fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.

2. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease bottom of 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Stir together orange juice, zest, buttermilk, butter, and egg in small bowl. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in large bowl. Stir liquid ingredients into dry with rubber spatula until just moistened. Gently stir in cranberries and pecans. Do not overmix.

2. Scrape batter into loaf pan and spread with rubber spatula into corners of pan. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees; continue to bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes longer. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool at least 1 hour before serving/

We prefer sweet, mild pecans in this bread, but walnuts can be substituted.

Resist the urge to cut into the bread while it is hot out of the oven; the texture improves as it cools, making it easier to slice.

Yield: one 9-inch loaf

Mincemeat Bread

Postby Emptynester » Thu Jul 10, 2008 5:17 pm

Mincemeat Bread

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter; softened
2 eggs
2 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 28 ounce jar mincemeat
1/2 cup nuts; chopped

Heat oven to 350* Grease bottom only of 9x5 loaf pan. Beat sugar and margarine in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Beat in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt alternately with milk until blended; stir in mincemeat and nuts. Spread in pan. Bake 60 to 70 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan. Cool completely before slicing.

I don't recommend the mincemeat one for kids because of the rum and brandy in the mincemeat.

SAUSAGE BREAD

Postby DeeClutter » Mon Dec 15, 2008 8:12 pm

My DSisIL always made this for Christmas and dh started doing it as well a few years ago:

SAUSAGE BREAD: To make 2 rolls:

1 lb. package of fresh pizza dough
Let dough rise for an hour or so

Split the dough into 2 balls
Roll out each on an UNFLOURED board (makes it easier to roll) into somewhat of a rectangle
Brush dough with 1 egg (beaten)

1lb Italian Sausage -cooked
Scramble in 2 eggs
Spread the sausage on the 2 rolled out pieces of dough

Sprinkle 8oz (or to taste) of mozarella cheese on the 2 pieces.

Roll up into a log and brush egg on the top (like a jelly roll)

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes

(dh made one batch with regular Italian sausage and one with HOT Italian sausage) May sound complicated -but it's very easy and a quick appetitzer, snack or can be a meal.
Begun is half done -SO! JUST BEGIN!!
