This is all I've got today
Whole Wheat Bread
Breadman Instruction Manual
¾ cup water (80 degrees)
2 TBL oil
2 TBL brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
Use Basic Mode and 4 Wheat menu
Makes a 1 pound loaf
It decided to make some bread on the spur of the moment. I use my bread machine to make pizza dough every week but I've only tried to make bread a couple of times so far.
The flavor of this bread was very good but the texture wasn't. It came out very crumbly. It could have been user error, since I didn't measure as carefully as I should have and I could tell that the dough was too dry but I didn't see that until it was too late to do anything about it. My double loaf machine makes two small 1-pound loaves and that just isn't optimal for breadmaking - you end up with mostly crust.
Well it's been quiet around here and I doubt this recipes is going to ignite any fires. No Question of the Day - my mind is blank. Tonight I plan my next batch of recipes. I'll try to come up with some exciting ones.
Paula,
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see that you are using your bread machine regularly as I remember it being one of your goals for the year. You have been using it quite a bit and I feel like I finally know a person that uses their bread machine.
I have a good question: Do you have a breadmachine. I used to, but I gave it away before I moved to canada. I wish I still had it.
