Thanks to a book tip from a friend, The Bonny Glen, we're baking bread again. And lots of it. Find the miracle book here: Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
Then make yourself some bread. LOL
We live in an RV. We travel a lot. Padrecito knew that a person could make bread, but he's only seen the process occasionally. College-in-a-Camper and The Soprano fondly recall years of mainly homemade bread. Bud sighs happily in his sleep and agreed to eat bread with a little more whole grain in it. Boy Howdy and Freckles are happy that they can rustle up a recipe.
We're not using a stone yet as the place where we are parked doesn't have a store with such specialty items. Also we have made many of these recipes in pans.
So far we've had success with several of these recipes. We mostly half the recipes since our fridge is about as big as a bread box.
The Basic Master Recipe - Boule - used for pizza pinwheels.
Olive Oil Dough: makes a wonderful ciabatta for dipping or panini.
Brioche: Delicious as cinnamon rolls even if you forget the eggs.
Light Whole Wheat: Even Bud liked this and he generally forswears whole grains. Delicious as sandwich loaf and dinner rolls.
Challah -Almost Heaven. So glad that the Lord brought the Israelites to the Promised Land and that they could develop this bread instead of manna! Absolutely wonderful for cinnamon rolls and for herb and cheese dinner rolls.
Buttermilk bread: Tried this for hot dog rolls. I would have liked a softer texture, but they did enhance the taste of plain ol' dogs.
Up next: Deli Rye with variation. It's resting/rising so more tomorrow on that! The plan is to refrigerate this tonight and bake in the morning so it's fresh and ready for the lunch sandwiches. Now if I can just find some alfalfa or bean sprouts. Perfect.
