Let's Talk About Bread I started a thread here about bread machines ... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/off...d-machine.html but I'd like to talk about specific types of bread & recipes. I'm looking for a good recipe for Italian bread - crispy hard crust with a soft middle. Some people have said that you can't bake Italian bread in a bread machine, and others have said they have, so I'm not sure about that :confused:. I'd also like a good recipe for French bread - very similar to Italian (hard crust, soft middle) So, if you have a good bread recipe (any kind at all) please post it here - and, if you have a bread machine, go ahead and let us know what model you have, what you like (or dislike) about it, and what recipes you've tried in it. |
I have a bread machine, can't remember the name, lol, I know it was an off brand. I think they're all about the same, though. When I first got mine, I used alot of recipes from my cookbooks. Now, 15 years later... there are many box mixes to be found in the grocery store. These are great for when I'm in a hurry, or if I want to try a different kind/flavor, and don't want to have to buy all the separate ingredients. Pros: Nothing beats the smell of fresh baked bread... except for eating it! Cons: The only thing I don't like with mine is the shape of the loaf. It comes out square, lol, and not real attractive. I don't know if newer machines have addressed this issue, but that is what I'd look for if I was buying a new machine. |
Thanks! What's your favorite type of bread to make? Any recipes? |
I love all kinds of bread, except white! I guess a cinnamon raisin would be my favorite... I'll have to look up my recipes though, lol... it's been a while. I will get back to you. :D |
Thanks. :) I found one that looked good, so I'll post it here in hopes of getting some more recipes :D. This one is NOT for a bread machine. World's Best Cinnamon Raisin Bread Not Bread Machine) Recipe - Food.com - 98867 Anymore bread recipes??? |
Recently this has been my favorite bread, although not really for a bread machine. I guess you could mix the dough in a bread machine but it has to be baked on a sheet pan. This bread is wonderful with soups/stews. I will even use two sheet pans to get the dough spread out thinner (makes a thinner baked bread) so that I can use it with sandwiches. Also, I don't use quite as much oil on the pan, the recipe calls for 1/2 cup, and I use about 1/3 cup. Delicious!! Focaccia Recipe : Anne Burrell : Food Network I was going to post on your bread machine thread and forgot. I've had a bread machine for at least 10 years now and haven't used it the past 6 years or so. For me, it's just easier to make bread the old-fashioned way. |
Thanks! I love Focaccia bread & this one looks delicious! From what I've read, and from reading people's comments here, I think I'll be better off without the bread machine, just making the different breads the old fashioned way. It seems to get really good bread it has to be baked in the oven. This recipe is a must try - thanks again. :thumbup: :thumbup: |
I bought a breadmachine about 15 yrs ago never liked it |

It is delicious. I saw her make this on the show a couple of months back (with a chicken soup recipe-yum) and I've made this bread now about once a week since then. It has to wonderful for me to go to this kind of trouble that often! lol...if you were here, I would give you my bread machine, just to get it out of the cabinet. I tried selling it at a garage sale, and couldn't get $10 out of it.....couldn't see selling a $100 bread machine for less and decided it could sit in my cabinet.....how silly is that?! |

That's what I love about this bread - it's easy to make! I just mix it in my kitchenaid stand mixer(I didn't even use the dough hook, just the standard mixing attachment), then dump it out on a lightly floured surface, knead for a few minutes. It rises the first time, then you spread it out on the pan(s) and let it rise the final time before baking. If you like coarse sea salt.....use liberally like the recipe mentions. It doesn't take long at all to mix and knead. Most of the time is just waiting for the dough/bread to rise. |
