Unbromated Bread Again NOV 13, 2013

Kitchen,

DSC00977 Unbromated flour bread DSC00975 with a coarse, buat light, texture.

This recipes is the Classic White recipe from the Kitchen Pro Breadmaker Guide and Cookbook.

Ingredients

  • 9 – 11 ounces         water  (I used 11 ounces, substituting 3/8 cup milk for the same volume water.)
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (I used 1 tablespoon butter and one tablespoon olive oil.)
  • 4 cups unbromated, unbleached bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 package active dry yeast

Assembly

  • Add ingredients in order to the bread machine
  • Set the machine to the large, light loaf (1) or the large dark loaf (2) setting on the bread machine, I use the latter, which bakes for 60 minutes which is 10 minutes longer than the setting (1).
  • This bread overflowed the bread pan, and collapsed in the middle.  So it has too much liquid.  I also do not know the effect of substituting olive oil for part of the butter.

Comments

This bread came out well except that it puffed up too much.  Next time I will try 9 ounces of liquid, total with the milk to see if the bread stays in the pan after rising.

King Arthur bread flour is unbromated, and non-GMO, as are all of their flours.

One package holds nearly enough for 5 such loaves.  Each loaf is about 16 servings.

This recipes makes two 5″ X  9″ loaves, or 4 small aluminum loaf pans about 3 1/2″ X  7 1/2″ .  It is very goo heated up in a toaster or even a microwave oven with butter.  Adapted from Shelley Albehuhn’s Banana Banana Bread on allrecipes.com.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups unbromated, unbleached bread flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, melted in the microwave for one minute
  • 2 cups (1 pound) dark brown sugar
  • 5 egs well beaten
  • 5 cups mashed yellow to black plantains
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Procedure:

Prepare the pans you want to use by spraying with butter flavored PAM, and coating with flour.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Set aside.

In a larger bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar.  Stir in the eggs well.  Stir in the mashed plantains.  Stir in the dry ingredients mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts.   Distribute into two 9″ X 5″ pans or four of the smaller pans.

Bake the larger loaves for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly.  Bake the smaller loaves for one hour and 5 minutes.  Rest for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack after removing from the oven.   Run a knife around the edge of each loaf.  Turn out onto a wire rack before the loaves cool completely.  Serve warm.

After cooling completely, put any extra loaves away wrapping in parchment paper secured with a rubber band, and slipped into a 1 gallon ZipLoc for placement into the refrigerator or freezer.
