Anyone got a recipe for bread i n a bread maker

anyone out there got a good recipe for a bread maker. had one but it got lost. thanks

You could try here http://www.carrsbreadmaker.info/recipes/

This is for a granary style loaf, you can adjust bits as you like [i'll mark those with a hatch] if you leave out all the bits and bobs [apart from the wheatgerm] you still end up with an acceptable loaf, it goes particularly well with soups.

1/2 lb strong white flour

1/2 lb brown flour

4 tbsp corn meal [ i usually use fine cornmeal]

1 tbsp wheatgerm

1 tbsp crushed wheat #

1 tbsp whole wheat #

1 tbsp mixed seeds [linseed/seseme/pumpkin/poppy etc] #

1 tbsp chopped mixed nuts #

1 tbsp malt syrup made up with warm water to 8 floz

1 tsp quick acting yeast

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 oz butter cut into small cubes

If you have the facility to add things as a topping then pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds or coarse or medium cornmeal go well.

I don't know what machine you use so I can't really advise on what setting to use but on mine i go for medium crust on a quick programme.

Good luck and happy eating

Always experimenting with different ingredients, i have been using honey instead of sugar, more recently using golden syrup. Today, I am trying a loaf with malted milk powder: the Sainburys version of Horlicks. Otherwise, I use CoffeeMate instead of Marvel, or other dried milk powder.

And I have to say, it has turned out rather well. Loaf now sliced, individual slices bagged, and in the freezer.

yes thats what i use.but i put them in at the start or they all end up on the outside

Ive now sold my breadmaker I hand bake my bread from Paul Hollywoods book how to bake and the bread is top notch it beats the bread maker hands down I use fresh yeast only 50p from morrisons.

A bit time consuming though, eh? Kneading, proving, needing, being there when it is baked....

If a jobs worth doing it worth doing right the results are far superior.

 

I agree, really nice bread, first slice toasted this morning.

 

Have you tried a spoonful of curry powder and a handful or two of raisins? Equally good!

Just made a loaf with an Oxo cube crumbled in, subtle flavour, will use two cubes next time.
