WW Bread Recipe and more bread info

[Guest guest]

www.breadbeckers.com has lots of good info on bread making. This is a

recipe off of their site that I use. I bought my this bread machine from

them. They have lots of good recipes posted on the site. I also often get

grain and other products from them, when I am up in Atlanta or they are at a

Homeschool Conference I am attending.

ZOJIRUSHI AUTO BAKERY BREAD

 

We sell the Zojirushi Home Bakery, so we get a lot of questions about a

whole wheat recipe that will work - THIS ONE WILL! Sue and Ashley both use

this recipe in the Zoji, and it always works.

 

Place in order in the pan to the bread machine, making sure the paddles are

in place:

 

1 ½ cups hot water

½ cup oil ( 1/3 cup if use egg)

¼ cup honey

4 ½ cups fresh milled flour

2 tsp. salt

2 Tbs. Lecithin

1 tsp. gluten (optional)

1 egg (optional)

 

Make a small well in the middle of the flour and place:

 

1 Tbs. Yeast

 

Bake on desired setting.

 

The Zojirushi Bread Machine has a " Homemade " setting which allows you to

alter the settings to suit your taste. I found the factory settings baked

too long making the crust very dark and the bread dry. My " Homemade "

settings work beautifully and I get delicious bread every time. The

instructions for changing the settings are in the back of your owner's

manual. Once set, this Homemade Cycle " sill have these settings unless you

change it again.

 

My settings are as follows:

 

(Sue's settings) (Ashley's variation)

Preheat-18 min. Same

Knead-20 min. Same

Rise 1-45 min. Same

Rise 2-50 min. 26 min.

(This time may need to be less if you find that your bread rises, then

falls)

Rise 3-off Same

Bake-36 min. 41 min.

Keep warm-off Same

 

Completion time is 2 hrs. and 45 min.
