I am looking for a good regular bread recipe. Like and all purpose sandwich type bread. I have tried a few and they flopped. One was to heavy the other was not quiet what I was looking for. I just need a simple no fail recipe so I figured someone here would know one. I googled it and wow how overwhelming is that.LOL
I admire you! My recipe for bread is.... 1. get in car. 2. drive to store. 3. buy bread. 4. take it home and enjoy. :lol: I used to have a bread maker, but it was too big to carry in the RV. I'm sure the wonderful bakers we have here will suggest something.
LOL. I know that is the easy way, but have you looked what they put in our bread anymore? Also in this small town I live in the bread is like $3.50 per loaf, so I am going to make mine.
Here is one for potato bread: Potato Bread INGREDIENTS 1 potato 2 t yeast 3 T sugar ½ C warm water 2 t salt 2 ½ T Crisco (lard) 4 C flour (any kind) DIRECTIONS Boil 1 small potato (save the water). Dissolve 2 teaspoons of yeast with 1 Tablespoon sugar and 1/2 cup of warm water. Mash potato and add 2 Tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 1/2 Tablespoons Crisco, 3/4 cup of the water from the boiled potato (add water as needed to equal 3/4 c.). Add 4 cups flour to the potato mixture - stir to cool ingredients. Stir in yeast mixture. Knead dough for 10 min. Add flour if needed. I grease the bowl. Let rise to double - shape into a loaf and put into greased pan. Poke it with a fork/knife to let air out. Let rise till double again. Bake at 375 degrees about 25 to 30 min.
I have a no fail recipe but it is for my bread machine. It has simple ingredients - 1 - 1 1/8 cups of warm water 3 Tbs oil 1 tsp salt 3 Tbs sugar 3 cups bread flour 1 1/2 tsp yeast (usually I use 1 tsp or else it will get to large for my machine) Sometimes I let the machine mix and raise then I bake it in the oven. For a change sometimes I will mix part wheat flour and substitute some of the sugar for molasses. My dh loves that, he thinks he's getting a rye bread and it's soooo easy.
I haven't tried this yet ,but I have this link bookmarked http://steamykitchen.com/blog/2007/09/10/no-knead-bread-revisited/ I usually just use the recipe book that came iwth the bread machine and make bread in that.
