Makes 1 loaf
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake at 350 F for 1 hour, 10
minutes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
¾ cup sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup buttermilk
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 average bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup shredded sweetened flake coconut
½ cup pecan halves
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 F. Coat a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Spoon a little white sugar into the pans, and shake to distribute around
the bottom and lower half of the sides of the pan. This will give a lovely
crystalled crust to the finished bread.
Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, soda, and salt in a large bowl. Beat
eggs and sugar in medium-sized bowl. Beat in oil, buttermilk, bananas,
and vanilla. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture. Stir
just until flour mixture is moistened and batter comes together. Fold in
1/3 cup coconut, nuts, and chocolate. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle
with remaining coconut. Bake in 350 F oven 1 hour, 10 minutes, until
wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Let cool in pan
on rack for 10 minutes. Turn loaf out on rack to cool.
If you are a truly dedicated chocolate-lover, or have nut allergies in your
family, you can substitute an additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for
the pecan halves.
I added some rum and coconut to my recipe. I tested out adding some
macadamia nuts too. I think that I should add white chocolate chips and call it the
"island banana bread".
Use 1 cup of walnuts and then also put in 1 cup of the dried cranberries

Our Daily Bread in a Crock - Weekly Make and Bake Rustic Bread
http://www.recipezaar.com/Our-Daily-Bread-in-a-Crock-Weekly-Make-and-Bake-
Rustic-Bread-340621
Make up a large batch of rustic artesian bread dough, store it and then bake a loaf
each day you need fresh bread, amazing but true! This is a hodge podge of old
fashioned English and French rustic bread recipes; the bread dough is made up
ahead of time and stored (in the old days) in an earthenware crock or bowl, with a
lid. You tear a piece of the dough off as and when you want to bake a loaf of bread.
Easy! I use this style of bread dough regularly in the B and B, so I can always have
fresh bread or bread rolls on hand for breakfast. You can add other types of flour to
the basic white batch, as long as the ratio remains the same - you can mix rye or
whole-wheat flour with the white, or add herbs, onions, seeds, fruit and other
flavorings. The dough can be used as soon as the initial proving has finished, but it
will keep in a cool place or a fridge for a week or two - I do not recommend longer
than 2 weeks however. The dough can be used for free form bread loaves, in bread
tins, as rolls or other shapes. I have kept this technique and recipe to myself for a
while, but I have decided to share it on Zaar now, mainly as my daughter keeps
asking for the basic dough recipe! I notice that this type of long-term or long-life
bread dough has made a revival in a new book called “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes
a Day”; this recipe however, is a very old technique and method, dough was always
made up for the week and then kept in the cold room or pantry for daily baking. My
grandmother who lived in a 600 year old cottage in Northern England, used to have
a stone slab in the Pantry where she kept her crock and dough, I remember sticking
my finger in it!! This amount makes about 4 to 5 loaves of bread, depending on the
weight and shape of the bread that you bake. French Tart
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried fast rising yeast (Or, 1 oz fresh yeast, added to a little
warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar.) ¾
1. Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl - the water should be tepid or hand warm -
NOT too hot, as it will kill the yeast.
2. Add the yeast to the water and then the salt, mix well.
3. Add ALL the flour and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or a dough hook until all the
ingredients are amalgamated - NO need to over knead.
4. Leave the bread dough in the mixing bowl and cover loosely - I use a shower cap to
cover my dough! (That is NOT used as a shower cap anymore, I hasten to add!).
7. If baking a loaf of bread now, pre-heat the oven and place a baking sheet or pizza tray in
there. Tear off a large ball, about the size of a small melon, and knead it for about 1
minute with floured hands and on a floured board, Shape it as desired (Rolls, Boule,
Baguette or Bannette) or place it in a greased and floured loaf tin. Allow to prove and rise
for a further 20 to 30 minutes. Slash the surface with a sharp serrated knife if you wish,
see photos. You can add a glaze or special finish at this point.
8. Bake at 225C/450F for 30 minutes or until well risen, brown and the loaf sounds hollow
when it is tapped on the underside. (If you wish, you can add a bowl of boiling water as
soon as you put the bread into the oven – this steams and bakes the loaf to give a good
chewy texture and keeps the inside moist.).
9. Remove the bread when baked and cool on a cooling rack. Serve warm with butter,
cheese, jam, hams and cold cuts, or slice when cool for sandwiches. Also wonderful
when toasted the next day.
10. Store the excess dough in the mixing bowl, loosely covered, in the fridge or somewhere
cool until needed – this will keep for 2 weeks, but I find it has all gone by 7 to 10 days!
This amount of dough will make between 4 and 5 loaves of bread, depending on the
shape and amount of dough you use.
I have realized though that it really doesn't need to be kneaded, that seems to knock the air out of
it too much. Just use plenty of flour while stretching and folding it onto itself into the shape you
want. I do this on a well floured board, then plop it on parchment liberally sprinkled with cornmeal.
Then I slide the parchment onto a board that fits in my microwave.
I heat a cup of water to steaming hot in the micro, then quickly open the door and stick the dough
in there- I leave the cup on the board if there is room. This way you don't need to cover the dough
and it rises very nicely.
After 20 min or so, I slash the top, and slide the parchment onto a preheated baking stone, then
dump the cup of hot water carefully into a metal baking pan(also preheated) on the shelf below
the stone, then shut the door quickly to keep the steam in.
I used 4 and a half cups of white bread flour and 2 cups of whole wheat flour. I opted for kosher
salt instead of sea salt and it worked fine. The initial kneading was done effortlessly by using my
stand mixer with the dough hook and it didn't take long.
the texture and flavor of English Muffins... then as it cools it takes on the flavor of a "Good
Sourdough"! I have added, tonight , some crumbled bacon and fine grated cheddar cheese... The
possibilities are endless to what you can add to this bread... I see ham, blue cheese, different
herbs
Baking a loaf with brown sugar and cinnamon. I've made rolls, breadsticks and baguettes and all
have been fantastic!.
I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 unbleached white. It was easy! I have just baked the one loaf so
far, and I agree with Chef Shadows, it does resemble the texture of english muffins.
melted butter/minced garlic mix on top. I put a tray of ice cubes in a 9x13 pan underneath the
rack with the bread to create a steam effect.
Yes, I used lots of flour when shaping the loaves. I tinkered a lot with this first attempt and added:
1/2 c 6-grain cereal blend; 1 cup rolled oats, ground into a flour; 1/2 cup wheat bran; 1/4 cup
wheat germ; and unbleached flour to make up 1 5/8 lbs total weight. I think the 6-grain cereal
blend may have made the dough too heavy and it didn't rise the way I hoped it would during the
second rise prior to baking. I formed the dough into 2 large loaves in loaf pans, let it rise for
approximately 40 minutes, and baked with a pan of water in the lower portion of the oven. I also
poured 1/2 cup of hot water directly into the bottom of my oven, and immediately closed the door,
in order to get that initial burst of steam.

Flax Seed Bread http://www.recipezaar.com/Flax-Seed-Bread-47210 I got this recipe
from the flax seed website and it has become my favorite multigrain bread machine recipe.
Ellen-42 EXCELLENT Used all wheat
16 slices
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup white bread machine flour (or you can use all whole wheat flour if you
prefer)

Miriam's Whole Wheat Bread 3 loaves
Put the yeast in the water in a large bowl & let set for 10 minutes.
Add the sugar/honey, salt, oil, and dough enhancer. Stir well with a
whisk or fork.
Begin adding flour while stirring and continue to add until the mixture
begins to form a ball.
Add only the amount of flour that you need to keep the dough from
sticking to the bowl and your hands. Too much flour is bad.
Once you have the right amount of flour continue to knead for at least
5 min. More is better,since the amount of kneading is what develops the
gluten (the stringy looking part that holds the dough up when it
rises).
Let rise for 1 hour.
Then I let the bread rise in the oven with a towel over the bowl.
After 1 hour, take the dough out, punch it down and separate into 3-4
loaves or more if you are doing mini-loaves.
Place into greased loaf pans and put back into the oven to rise for
another 45 min to an hour.
Bake for about 45 minutes (less for mini loaves??), watching to make
sure it doesn't get too brown.
1. Place all ingredients in your bread machine. Select dough. Allow to run cycle.
2. Dump out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 pieces. With each piece, slap
into a bun shape. Usually four or five slaps will do it. Place on greased cookie sheets
or your bun pans, cover; rise about 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes till golden. Cool on wire racks.
4. When I do these for burgers, I split the bun, butter, and fry in a skillet till brown.
Yummy! They make great sandwich buns too! Nice and soft! You can’t go wrong with
this recipe!
I like to add a teaspoon of onion powder and about 1/2 teaspoon dried onion to the
dough in the bread machine. It makes a light onion-y flavor that is wonderful!
the buns turned out HUGE, so next time, I will shape them into 12 buns instead of 8.
Add to liquids:
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbs. yeast
Stir or knead until well kneaded about 10 minutes. This is a batter type bread and will
not form a smooth ball.
Pour dough into greased pans. You may use 2 large loaf pans (10x5x3) or 3 med. loaf
pans or 2-9x13 brownie pans. Let rise in a warm place for one hour or until the dough
is almost to the top of the pan. If it rises too much it will over flow the pan while
baking. Bake at 350o for 45-50 minutes for loaf pans and 35-40 minutes for brownie
pans.
*For fasting divide bread into 8 equal parts weighing 1/2 pound each. Eat a 1/2 pound
cake and drink a quart of water every day. For fasting I do not alter the recipe.
This is a very sweet, moist, cake-like bread. For a more traditional bread texture I have
used this combination of grains in The Beckers Bread and Roll recipe. Replacing the 7
cups of flour with the 9 cups of flour from the milled grains in this recipe. You may
also add fruits and nuts or use the flour made from this mixture in other favorite
recipes. This healthy combination of grains and beans is worth experimenting with.
Combining grains and beans makes a complete protein.

There is a great deal of difference in flours. Soft wheat flour brands like "White Lily"
flour produces bread, biscuits and cakes of much lighter consistancy than say "Gold
Medal" which is a hard wheat flour. Biscuits show the greatest difference and all
yeast breads. But soft wheat flours aren't marked , you just have to figure out which
is hard and which is soft by using.
Substitutions: 1 cup + 2 tbsp sifted cake flour = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour; 1
cup minus 2 tbsp unsifted flour = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 cups
breadcrumbs = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour; 3/4 cup whole wheat flour or bran
flour + 1/2 cup all purpose flour; 1 cup rye or rice flour; 1/4 cup soybean flour + 3/4
cup all-purpose flour
Whole-wheat flour usually can be substituted for part or all of the all-purpose flour in
most recipes. If a recipe calls for two cups flour, try one cup all-purpose and one cup
whole-wheat. When completely substituting whole-wheat for white, use 7/8 cup
whole-wheat for one cup of white flour.

Grandma Wongstrom's Rye Bread Dax
Serving Size: 1 Preparation Time : 4:00
Categories Breads
10 ounces water
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup Brer Rabbit light molasses
1/2 cup rye flour, 100% rye
2 3/4 cups white bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons bread yeast
Place butter, salt, white sugar, and molasses in a glass bowl and microwave for 90
seconds. Remove, stir ingredients, and place in bread maker pan.
Place rye and white bread flour on top of liquids. Make a hole in center of flour and
place the bread yeast in it. This part I don't understand because I was over and
made a loaf and all we did was mix the rest of the ingredients together and toss
them in the bread machine.
Set your controls for 1 1/2 pound loaf and medium crust (or whatever you prefer).
She had to order the rye flour from Hodgson Mills in Effingham, IL she says. She also
references that, "it is difficult... to find in (our) local grocery stores."
It's really fantastic, so give it a try. She also waits two hours for it to cool.
Enjoy Please! You'll never want to eat anything else. Mom had a chunk with her
homemade vegetable soup and said the experience was super!

whole wheat apricot hazelnut bread
I use the food processor and put into it
4 cups of flour..about 3 1/4 cups white bread flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat.
Add 1 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp cinnamon and mix.
Then chop 1/2 cup of dried aprocots....add some of the measured flour as you chop.
set aside.
Then chop 2/3 cup of hazelnuts (almonds are good too...as are pecans!) add to the
apricots.
Put 1/3 cup of warm water into a measuring cup, add 2 envelopes active dry yeast
(or equivalent) and 1/2 tsp sugar and allow to foam.
So...you have the flours and salt in the processor, and the fruit and nuts in a bowl
and the yeast and water in a measuring cup.
Add 1/2 cup honey to the flour in the processor and turn on to mix.
Add cold water to the yeast mix to make a total of 1 1/4 cups. Turn on the processor
and with it running slowly pour the water into the feed tube. When it forms a ball,
allow to process another 15 to 20 seconds and turn out onto a lightly floured
board...it will be a sticky dough!
With floured hands, pat out to 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle with the nuts and fruit, roll up
the dough and knead a few times and put into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until
double.....punch down and allow to rise again.
Then turn out onto that floured board and shape into 2 free form loaves, cover with
oiled saran and allow to double, brush tops with beaten egg and bake at 350 for
about 40 minutes until done.
Makes awesome toast!

This is my basic recipe for the bread machine, I use 1/2 white and 1/2 whole wheat
but you could use all white. Prickle DG
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5263335
I do it in this order.
*if making white bread leave out the molasses use 2 Tbls white sugar.
After first rising I take it out and put it in a bread pan coated with cooking spray to
rise a second time, about one hour or until it's as a high as I like it to be, I often
increase the rising time to get it where I want it.
After the second rise I bake in a 350* oven for 35 mins. When it's done coat the
crust with butter or margerine, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 mins. This
tenderizes the crust. Slice and eat.

Here is our "current" favorite bread, it's a bit more work, but making the sponge
ahead adds to the flavor. I do not baking in the bread machine, but it makes a great
dough machine
For Sponge
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup room-temp water
1 cup bread flour
For Bread
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm milk (105-115 F)
2/3 cup room-temp water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
To make bread,
place sponge mixture in bowl of bread machine, add remaining ingredients and run
dough cycle.
When finished ( Note: Dough will be VERY sticky and full of bubbles.)
Cut two pieces of parchment paper, approx 12 inches by 6 inches.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and cut in half.
Place on floured wax paper.
Knead lightly, removing the largest of air pockets,
Transfer each half to lightly floured parchment paper and form irregular ovals approx
9 inches long.
Dust tops with flour.
Cover with dampened kitchen towel and let rise until almost doubled.
At least 10 minutes before baking bread, pre-heat pizza stone on lowest oven rack
position at 425°F.
Transfer 1 loaf, along with parchment paper, onto stone and bake for 20 minutes or
until pale golden.
Remove to cooling racks and repeat with second loaf.

Gruyère-Stuffed Crusty Loaves http://lindseysluscious.blogspot.com/
(Source: King Arthur Flour)
Starter:
1 1/4 cups (5 1/4 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour (I used Sir Lancelot)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
1/2 cup (4 ounces) cool water
Dough:
all of the starter
1 cup + 2 tablespoons (9 ounces) to 1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) lukewarm water*
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups (14 3/4 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour
1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
*Use the greater amount of water in winter, when conditions are dry; and the lesser
amount in summer, when the weather is humid. (It was humid as all get out
yesterday when I made this, and I needed all the water, and perhaps two or three
tablespoons more--that darn Sir Lancelot was thirsty!)
Filling:
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) grated Gruyère cheese, or the grated/shredded cheese of
your choice (I used closer to three cups--two of baby swiss and one of aged
provolone)
To make the starter: Mix the 1 1/4 cups flour, salt, yeast, and 1/2 cup water in a
medium-sized bowl. Mix till well combined. Cover and let rest overnight at room
temperature.
To make the dough: Combine the risen starter with the water, salt, flour, and yeast.
Knead—by hand, mixer, or bread machine set on the dough cycle—to make a
smooth dough. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2
hours, until it’s nearly doubled in bulk.
Gently deflate the dough, and pat and stretch it into a 3/4"-thick rectangle, about 9"
x 12". Spritz with water, and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Starting with a long
side, roll it into a log, pinching the seam to seal. Place the log, seam-side down, on a
lightly floured or lightly oiled surface. Cover it and let it rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours,
until it’s puffy though not doubled in bulk. Towards the end of the rising time,
preheat the oven to 425°F.
Gently cut the log into four crosswise slices, for mini-breads; or simply cut the dough
in half for two normal-sized loaves. Place them on one (for two loaves) or two (for
four mini-loaves) lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, cut side up.
Spread them open a bit, if necessary, to more fully expose the cheese. Spritz with
warm water, and immediately place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 20
minutes (for the mini-loaves), or 35 minutes (for the full-sized loaves), or until the
cheese is melted and the loaves are a very deep golden brown. Remove them from
the oven, and cool on a rack.
Yield: four mini-loaves or two standard-size loaves (I made the "minis" though they
were still a good size. We ate one straight away, we'll have another soon, and I froze
the other two for the near future--a good option when there are just two of you.)

Williams-Sonoma's Parmesan-Black Pepper No Knead Bread
Cornmeal as needed
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, black pepper, grated cheese and
cheese chunks. Add 1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tbs. water and stir until blended; the dough
will be shaggy and very sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest
at warm room temperature (about 70°F) until the surface is dotted with bubbles, 12
to 18 hours.
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle the dough with a little
flour and fold the dough over onto itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic
wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
Using just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to the work surface or your
fingers, gently and quickly shape the dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton
towel, preferably a flour sack towel (not terry cloth), with cornmeal. Put the dough,
seam side down, on the towel and dust with more flour or cornmeal. Cover with
another cotton towel and let rise until the dough is more than double in size and
does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.
At least 30 minutes before the dough is ready, put a 2 3/4-quart cast-iron pot in the
oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Slide your hand under the towel and turn
the dough over, seam side up, into the pot; it may look like a mess, but that is OK.
Shake the pan once or twice if the dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten
out as it bakes. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue
baking until the loaf is browned, 15 to 30 minutes more.
Transfer the pot to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Using oven mitts, turn
the pot on its side and gently turn the bread; it will release easily. Makes one 1 1/2-
lb. loaf.
Variations:
Walnut Bread: Use 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts in place of the cheese and black
pepper.
Olive Bread: Use 1/3 cup pitted niçoise olives, 1/3 cup pitted dry-cured olives and
1/3 cup pitted picholine olives, all coarsely chopped, in place of the cheese and black
pepper.

Whole Wheat Tassajara Bread I use about half ww flour all together.
Dissolve yeast in the lukewarm water, stir in sweetening and dry milk.
Stir in flour, beat 100 strokes with a spoon. Let rise 45 mins.
4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup oil OR melted butter
3 cups additional flour
1 cup ww flour for kneading
Fold in salt and oil. Fold in additional flour until dough comes away from sides
of the bowl. Knead on floured surface, about 10 minutes, until dough is smooth.
Let rise 50-60 minutes until doubled in size. Punch down. Let rise another 40-50
minutes until again doubled in size. Shape into 2 loaves and place in pans. Let
rise 20-25 minutes. Brush tops with egg wash. Bake in preheated 350ºF oven for
1 hour, or until golden brown. Remove from pans and let cool, or eat right away!
For a lighter bread (and quicker rise) use an additional packet of yeast.
This is basically the same one I used in my sandwich shop some 30 years ago.
However I mixed non-instant dry milk with the first addition of dry ingredients. I
used honey and Crisco for their respective purposes.

You can make your own: sprout a cup of wheat berries by covering them with
water in a jar for 12 or so hours, dump out the water & rinse with clean water, and
place the jar in a darkish, warmish, place. Rinse the berries every day with clean
water and return to their place.
In 2-3 days they will begin to sprout. When the sprout is as long as the berries
themselves, dump them out on paper towels, dry them off, and set on a cookie
sheet in the sun for a day or so to dry out. Then put the cookie sheet in a 100F
oven for an hour or three. Do not let the temp get above 130F or the enzymes will
be destroyed.
Then grind the dried malted berries into flour, and use it in your favorite recipe at a
rate of approx. 1t. per loaf.
I sprout 1/4 cup of wheat berry instead of 1 cup and grounded it and store in the
freezer. Siuflower
I made 1/4 cup of wheat berry two months ago and I only used 2 tsp and still have
plenty left for the future.
There are two kinds of malt, wheat and barley. The barley mostly for making beer
and the wheat malt is I used for baking. I think you can use either one for baking. I
think you can make barley malt following the recipe.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Measure flour into medium to large bowl. Cut in
shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ham, cheese, milk or
buttermilk, and sour cream. Mix until well blended. Knead gently on lightly floured
surface 2-3 strokes. Roll dough about 1/2 inch thick. Cut without twisting cutter.
Bake on ungreased baking sheet for 8-10 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter or
margarine. Serve warm. Makes 12 biscuits.

I saw a recipe for No-Knead Bread in last month's Cooks Illustrated magazine. I
didn't care much for the recipe but the technique is great for any bread where you
want a fluffy interior and crunchy crust. First you need a medium to large Dutch
Oven. We have cast iron and Pyrex and they both seem to work well. Put one Dutch
Oven with lid in regular oven for each loaf you want to bake (ours fits two Dutch
Ovens). Heat oven to about 500° and let the Dutch Ovens get really hot.
For last rise of bread dough, place a sheet of parchment in a skillet and set dough on
parchment. When dough is ready and Dutch Oven is are hot, remove lid and place
dough and parchment in Dutch Oven. It's easy to lift the dough by the corners of the
parchment. Then put the lids back on and close the oven. Turn down temp to 425°.
Bake for 20-25 min. Remove Dutch Oven lids and continue to bake until bread is
done. Lift out bread by parchment corners and cool.
The reason this works so well is that the Dutch Oven with the lid creates and steamy
environment with heat radiating evenly from all directions. The steam reacts with
starches on the outside of the crust making a thin crunchy layer. The even heat from
the Dutch Oven also encourages the bread to rise nicely, making very pretty loaves.
I have tried this with several sourdough and 'rustic' bread recipes and think it's
wonderful. It only makes round loaves but you might be able to make long loaves in
a large covered roasting pan.
This probably won't work for the yummy looking quick bread recipes listed above,
but it works great with yeast breads.

Parmesan Focaccia omitting the Parmesan cheese and black pepper [or not!]
(Makes about 2 pounds; serves 8)
1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan set over low heat to about 110 degrees F. (it
should feel just warm to the touch). Stir in the yeastand set aside to proof for 10
minutes.
2. Combine the flour, wheat bran, salt and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer
fitted with a dough hook if you have one, or standard beaters. Add the yeast mixture
and the eggs. Mix on low speed to
combine. Continue mixing until the dough comes together and pulls away from the
sides of the bowl. Knead on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8
minutes. If working by hand, knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and
elastic, about 15 minutes.
3. Place the dough in a large, well-oiled bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic
wrap. Set the dough in a warm, draft-free spot to rise until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2
hours.
4. Generously oil a jelly roll pan. Punch down the dough. Spread the dough into the
pan to a uniform 1-inch thickness. Cover with a dish towel. Set aside to rise in a
warm draft-free spot until doubled in
bulk, about 1 hour.
6. Make a dozen evenly spaced shallow indentations in the dough with the handle of
a wooden spoon or your index finger. Drizzle the dough with the olive oil. Sprinkle on
the Parmesan and pepper. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

I found this great recipe for 1 hour dinner rolls (prep +cooking time) and it is so
wonderful that I make them every Sunday for our family dinner. It makes two 8"
pans, or one 12" pan full of rolls. I haven't tried halving the recipe since we seem to
either eat them all immediately, or have the few leftovers as sandwiches.
Add milk mixture to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes with dough hook at medium
speed (level 2 on a Kitchenaide), scraping sides of bowl.
Add 1/2 cup flour; mix at low to blend, then increase speed to high.
Add another 2 cups flour and mix at medium speed for 5 minutes. Batter should form
a soft dough, cleaning the sides and bottom of bowl. If necessary, add more flour, a
tablespoon at a time, only until dough cleans bowl.
Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat (or spray with Pam). Cover and
let rise 15 minutes. (in cold weather, put bowl in pan of warm water)
Punch dough down, and pinch of goose-egg size pieces (or Extra Large chicken
eggs!) and place in greased pan/s. Let rise in warm place (or preheated 200 oven
which has been turned OFF) for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Grease three 12 cup muffin pans, or line
with paper muffin liners. Soak raisins in hot water for ten minutes to plump, then
drain.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg,
cinnamon, and ground cloves. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, pumpkin, and
applesauce, until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly
to make a smooth batter. Stir the raisins and walnuts into the batter. Spoon batter
into the prepared muffin cups.

Potato Rolls http://www.tasteofhome.com/RD.asp?
ID=4463&pmcode=MS2007041&e=92805
I found this recipe in a magazine 40 years ago. These rolls are well received at
fellowship dinners and are also popular at home. They are the lightest and tastiest
rolls I make. --Beatrice McGrath, Norridgewock, Maine
Yield: 2 dozen
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup warm mashed potatoes
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, shortening, potatoes, egg,
sugar, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form
a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8
minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a
warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down and divide in half. Divide each half into 36 pieces; shape into
balls. Place three balls each into greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm.

WW BREAD
there is no kneading and you can keep leftovers in the fridge to make a few at a
time. This recipe calls for honey and cinnamon as the filling. I go with a more
traditional...not-as good for you sugar filling.
Cover and let rest for 15 minutes...shape for whatever variation you would like
( cinnamon roll, cloverleaf roll).
This recipe calls for making them individually in muffin cups. I used to bake mine in
one big pan...like a giant roll. It was to sticky to roll out for me. For muffin
cups...bake 400 for12- 15 minutes.
In a second large bowl, beat sugar, eggs and salt. Add water and stir. Add flour
mixture to the liquid and beat until well blended. Add remaining flour and knead. Let
rise 15 minutes.
Shape into 48 buns. Place on greased baking sheets allowing 2 inches between buns.
Let rise one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Here is a variation of the same rolls my MIL made. The major difference being that
several days a week she would bake fresh bread in the morning, so she kept back 2
cups of the bread dough to use as a starter, giving these a slightly yeasty flavor that
we always enjoyed.
April, my MIL never heard of buying bread flour, she bought whatever bleached
white flour was the least expensive and her bread and rolls were always great.
(Personally, I buy bread flour for my breads, but when I add flour to this at 4 or 5
pm I use unbleached for the remainder probably more out of habit)
Assuming bread dough was mixed in the morning, at 4:00 pm mix the ingredients
into a battery sort of dough (a food processor makes this much, much easier). Let
stand until 9 pm, then make out into buns. Place on cookie sheet and let rise until
following morning. Bake at 350 degrees 12 - 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
(leave ample space between them as they seem to spread out unless you get the
dough pretty stiff)
In the time that homes did not have central heat, the rolls were placed in the oven
with the door ajar to keep them warm during the winter months) I normally just set
them on the countertop with a light tea towel over them.

These are the absolute best! They are so light, and just have a hint of sweetness to
them. I got this recipe from an elderly lady in the community. She always made
these for occasions, and everyone raved about them. She took me under her wing
and taught me how to make them. Before that, we would buy them from her, and
she always asked us if we wanted the 2 egg recipe, the 4 egg recipe, the 6 egg
recipe, or the 8 egg recipe. LOL Even the tip at the bottom is from what she wrote
for me when she taught me how to make these. I used to send them to Nana when
she was a member and she loved them.

“One of the secrets of making good yeast bread is to use as little flour as possible
and still be able to handle the dough. The dough should be quite moist. Adding flour
beyond this point will make the dough heavy and tough.”
Edited because I remembered something else. When she said "As little flour as
possible", that is exactly what she meant. Sometimes that dough is so runny that I
have to work in a little more when kneading it just to keep it from running all over
the table. When I *literally* pour it out of the bowl onto the table, it runs. I build a
little flour bowl on the table and pour it into that, and try not to have to knead in any
more flour than necessary. Just a bit at a time until it holds a shape when kneaded.
It's messy, but, that's the trick to light fluffy rolls.

Overnight Rolls
1 packet of yeast
3 cups warm water
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter or lard
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups of flour or more.
Mix all ingredients, adding flour till it isn't sticky any more.
Put it back in the bowl you mixed it up in, no greasing.
Every hour until 10:00 pm, punch it down.
Then shape into 4 pans of rolls and let set overnight, grease the pans
Bake in the morning at 375* for 20 to 25 minutes, brush with butter
These are light sweet rolls and could be made into cinnamon rolls or loaves
It will take some practice to know how early to bake them. They can raise a lot
overnight. I would check after baking 15 minutes in case oven temps are different
I mixed up a batch the other night. They were formed into rolls by 11:15 pm. I got
up at 6:00 am, to bake them and they had risen almost too much. I should have
baked them at 5:00 am or earlier. The house was really warm. I let them raise in the
oven overnight, covered with a tea towel.

Parker House Rolls Makes 3 dozen
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, plus more melted butter for brushing bowl
1 1/2 cups warm milk (115°)2
(1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeas
t6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1. Brush a large bowl with butter; set aside. In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over 1/4
cup milk. Let stand until soft, about 5 minutes. In another large bowl, combine
butter, sugar, salt, remaining 1 1/4 cups milk, and egg. Whisk to combine. Whisk in
yeast mixture.
2. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a floured work surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to
10 minutes. Place in prepared bowl, turning to coat with butter. Cover with plastic
wrap. Let stand in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
3. Punch down dough. Cut into 2 pieces. Invert bowl over dough, and let rest for 10
minutes. Working with one piece at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll into a 12-
inch square, about 1/3-inch thick. Cut into six 2-by-12-inch strips. Cut each strip into
three 4-by-2-inch rectangles.
4. Brush rectangles with butter. Using the handle of a butter knife, crease rectangles
slightly off center. Fold at crease. Arrange in rows, slightly overlapping, on buttered
baking sheet, with shorter side facing down. Allow at least 1/4-inch of space between
rows. Cover and let stand until doubled in bulk, 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 375°. Brush rolls with melted butter. Transfer to oven and bake
until golden, about 17 minutes, if baking a single strip, about 25 minutes if baking 3
strips at a time (1/4 sheet pan). Remove from oven and brush once more with
melted butter.
6. For freezing: shape rolls; arrange in same manner on parchment lined baking
sheet. Transfer to freezer until frozen. Transfer to freezer bags. When ready to bake
remove from freezer, arrange on buttered baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap,
and let stand in a warm place until defrosted, and doubled in bulk about 2 1/2 hours.
Cook according to step 5, above.
