This is a guide about baking bread. Baking fresh bread at home is wonderful, whether you use a bread machine or not.
Bread is Dark from Edge into the Loaf
When I make a sweet bread loaf (no yeast), the outer edge and into the loaf is dark, though not burned. I use a convection oven and make several loaves at the same time. Any ideas?
Where Can I Buy Instant or Bread Yeast?
My new bread machine cook book calls for either instant yeast or bread yeast. Can anyone tell me where to find it?
Difference Between Bread Machine and Regular Yeast
What's the difference between bread machine yeast and regular yeast? Thanks.
Spatula to Remove Dough Residue
Use a spatula to clean off the dough that stuck to the counter/board when you were kneading. Just scrape away gently before adding water, and most comes off easily! Saves so much time, and paper towels.
Use a soup or vegetable can to bake breads, such as date nut bread. Just wash can, take paper off, spray with cooking spray, and bake. Open the other end with can opener, and the bread will slide out. Makes great little individual loaves for gift giving.
A perfect place for dough to rise is in the oven. Its draft-free and a perfect temperature. Of course, the oven needs to be off!
Make Your Own Bread Machine Mixes
Make your own homemade bread machine mixes. I like to use my favorite recipe and prepare a dozen or so at a time. Prepare 12 quart Ziploc bags by labeling them (I like freezer bags to use over and over).
What causes biscuits to be doughy?
When I make breads by hand, I need a nice warm, clean, out of the way place for the dough to rise. I have been putting the dough in my microwave and letting it rise there with the best results.
Sweetening Frozen Cranberries for Baking
I'm looking for a way to make frozen cranberries not so bitter tasting. I want to put it in a bread that makes it sweet tasting.
Do you still need yeast to make bread with self rising flour?
Rising Bread Dough Before Baking
Before putting in the dough, either set the pan in the sun, place it on range with oven on "warm" underneath, or run hot water over the pan until it is warm to the touch, then dry the pan.
Save Money By Baking Your Own Bread
One way to save quite a bit on food is to learn your way around baking yeast. You can find a whole pound of it for about $2.50 at little shops or places that sell in bulk and you use it a tablespoon at a time - it lasts for months in the refrigerator.
My Frugal Life: Message In A Bottle
To Whoever Has Chanced Upon This Bottle: I am stranded on a deserted island somewhere in the tropics. I am as well as the circumstances justify, thank you very much. After all, I consider myself somewhat of a minimalist anyway, inherently resourceful and inventively frugal.
