Directions
  • Step #1 Here are my favorite tips & basic bread recipe: 1.
  • Step #2 Don't by those tiny packets of active-dry yeast.
  • Step #3 Get it in bulk in a health-food store.
  • Step #4 They charge at least 10x more for those tiny packets -- you're paying almost entirely for the packaging.
  • Step #5 (Store yeast in the fridge.
  • Step #6 ) 1 packet = 1 TB.
  • Step #7 2.
  • Step #8 Wheat gluten is very useful in helping the dough rise.
  • Step #9 I add around 1 TB per c of non-bread flour ingredients.
  • Step #10 3.
  • Step #11 Oil is NOT necessary & actually detracts from the taste.
  • Step #12 All you really need for good bread is flour, yeast, salt, & water.
  • Step #13 Everything else is optional.
  • Step #14 4.
  • Step #15 The best breads are simply a mix of flours (whole wheat, buckwheat, rice, rye, oats, corn, or whatever you like).
  • Step #16 Remember thought that wheat flours are necessary for the gluten content, unless you add gluten separately.
  • Step #17 Adding fruits & herbs & flavored liquids are interesting but I prefer "pure" breads.
  • Step #18 I prefer graham flour over regular whole wheat.
  • Step #19 5.
  • Step #20 Each machine is different & my recipes are usually not exact -- if the dough looks sticky & isn't forming a ball then it's too wet: add more flour; if it looks dry (ball doesn't have a relatively smooth surface, for example) add more liquid a tbsp or two at a time.
  • Step #21 OK, so with all that idealism taken care of here's my basic bread recipe: 1 TB active dry yeast 1 1/2 c bread flour 1 1/2 c graham (whole wheat) flour 1/2 c rye flour (use the coarse grind, preferably) 2 TB wheat gluten (sometime called vital wheat gluten) 1 tsp salt 1 TB honey 1 2/3 c water Add ingredients in order suggested by your bread machine manual.
  • Step #22 This is intended for a 3 c bread maker, if your machine is smaller just scale it accordingly.
  • Step #23 Similarly, your bread maker may suggest using less than 1 TB yeast.
  • Step #24 For a particularly festive bread try adding 1 TB basil 1 TB tarragon 1 tsp rosemary sliced garlic.
  • Step #25 --.
  • Step #26 --.
