Laura's bread and cake recipes!

[Guest guest]

Can't wait to see those recipes, Laura!!!

 

And, wow! I'm really envious that you baked bread with your father every

week!!!

I had to learn on my own. My mother wasn't the greatest cook when she was

sober, much less all other times! Baking bread is a new thing for me and I

just love it, though don't have it quite perfected yet. I use my bread machine

to knead the dough and rise there (since my joints are usually not up the task

of kneading), then form it bake it in the oven. So far I've had a few

experiments that the dogs ended up having for dinner! hahaha But, all in all

I've had pretty good luck and the experimenting is fun!

 

I'd love to hear your tips and tricks for baking great bread, if you have any

to share!

at health food stores)

a tiny dash of vegetable oil

1 c cold water

2 tsp vanilla extract

mix together dry ingredients, then mix in wet ingredients... bake until

toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

 

frost or glaze as you wish. (some store bought frostings may be vegan,

too.. i haven't checked) i've used a few different recipes.. here's one

that got the thumbs up from my roommate's 4 year old sister:

combine 1 c cold water and 5 tbsp flour in a saucepan with a wisk

cook over medium heat, wisking constantly until very thick and smooth. be

careful not to burn. cool completely by setting in a pan of cold water.

cream until sandy: 1 c sugar, 3 tbsp margarine, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch salt,

3 tbsp cocoa powder

whip the creamed mixture into the flour mixture until well blended and

fluffy, then spread on cake. if the frosting separates, reheat it while

whipping constantly, then refrigerate until cool
