--inspired by an Ina Garten recipeI want to start baking my own bread, do you have any recipes?
I found this recipe for whole wheat bread:


Ingredients2 cups Gold Medal Unbleached All Purpose Flour


2 cups Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flour


1/2 tbsp Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry


2 tsp salt


2 cups water


1/2 tbsp Sugars, Granulated


Directions


Make starter: add sugar, yeast and two cups of warm water and wait for the yeast to 'proof'.








Put 1 cup of wheat and white flour in the mixing bowl and add 1 tsp of salt.








Turn on mixer and slowly add 1 cup of the starter. If the the loaf is to dry after the one cup is added, slowly add more warm water until the dough rolls in a ball and is soft enough to work. It should be a little sticky, Pam sprayed on your hands before working will help.








Remove the dough, form it into a ball and place it on a sprayed cookie sheet.








Repeat with remaining ingredients.








Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and place in a warm area to raise for an hour or until the dough is doubled.





Preheat oven to 400





Punch down each loaf and form them into a ball shapes again and let it raise for 20 minutes and place in oven.





Cook for 45 minutes.
I agree...I gave my machine away when I found out how easy it is. I get the Knorr fast rise yeast. You just mave two bowls...in one bowl put one package of yeast in with four cups of flour, stir it together. In the other bowl put half a cup of butter {more or less just ploop it in, I don't even measure}, about three tablespoons of salt, and about half a cup of sugar, boil water and pour about a cup of water over this an stir to disolve, allow to cool to room temp {dab it on your wrist and if you can not feel the temp. it is perfect}. take a room temp. egg and stir it in, throw in about a tablespoon of baking soda. add the liquid to the flour, add more water if needed, more flour if needed. if you don;'t have an egg add more butter and more baking soda, if you don't have baking soda don't worry. put flour on your hands and shape the loafs plunk them in buttered loaf pans, set them in a warm place, allow to rise, punch them down and allow to rise again...heat the oven to 350, cook until brown, slide in a fork and if it comes out dry they are done. This is a super lazy reciepy that I constantly adjust to taste and also to add things such as bran, nuts, dried cranberries, raisons, cinnamon etc. The secret is to have all ingredients at room temperature, and take your time to leave it, and then go back, I usually let loaves rise overnight in the oven so I just have to turn it on.
