Bread Recipes

We often get inquiries about our bread recipes. I'll start listing some of our favorites here.

A few notes:

These recipes are for a bread machine.

You should be able to use any of these recipes by hand or with any brand of bread machine.

Follow the general instructions for your bread machine; i.e., wet (or dry?) ingredients first.

The amounts of ingredients have been arrived at by trial and error.

Measure the liquid ingredients very carefully. (I use a graduated cylindrical beaker accurate to the nearest two ml.)

Be prepared to add a tablespoon (or two) of flour if your dough is too wet or sticky. (Then resolve to be more careful measuring liquids next time.)

Use bread machine flour. (Never self-rising!)

Be sure to add gluten flour if you use rye flour.

When using soft fruit (raisins, olives, etc.), use the "sweet" bread setting (if available) and add this ingredient when the 5-minute warning sounds before kneading stops.

Most ingredients can be found at your supermarket. Others are available at "health food" stores.
