Breadmakers

Thought I would see if there are any breadmakers out there.  I loved Tippy's garden thread and it inspired me to search out the bakers.

I'm no artisan baker but I love fresh baked bread.  I can't hardly tolerate that stick to the roof of your mouth stuff anymore.

I'm trying a loaf with whey today.  I actually collected the curds and whey.  I'm scared to taste the cheese.  But I will bake a loaf using whey for liquid.  Rocker mentioned whey powder (yuck) for muscle wasting in another thread and that set me off in search of the source of whey.  So I'm hoping my whey bread will build me back up. smile.

Any good tips would be appreciated.

Tippyclubb - I must have got there too late.  I couldn't find bread body parts, but I did see a kitty croissant.  Somebody has photoshop.  tx is kickin me in the but and I'm treading water to get basic stuff done, so haven't been in forum lately.

I've been hungry for banana bread since susan mentioned up top.  I beat my egg whites to keep it from being heavy.  I'm gonna try adding whole wheat...someday, when I feel better.  dimmit

Greatbird - I don't have a bread machine so don't know how they work.  But I can see how yam would sink.  I've made zucchinni and banana breads and beat the egg whites to prevent that dense bottom.  I'm guessing your yeast yam bread does not have eggs though.  Glad it tasted good anyway.

I have a bread machine and I love to use it. Yesterday I made a yam bread, but it came out funny (still tastes good though). Somehow it didn't spread all the way across the pan so one side was lopsided and weird, and the texture was more dense at the bottom than at the top. It just didn't rise right. This is my second lopsided loaf in a row. I did pre-test my yeast and it was fine. Do you think it could be the ribavirin? (That's a joke, BTW.)  ;)

I don't make bread by hand, although I do have a recipe from Cook's Illustrated I want to try that involves making a bread in a dutch oven. My daughter made it and it came out like a very tasty loaf of country-style French bread. Perfect accompaniment for butter and homemade jam.

comeagain - hello!!  I'm so glad to hear you baked bread during tx.  Everything I do only takes a few minutes at a time, but it stretches out over two days.  I think I can do that.

I have tried about 75-80% hydration, but as it flowed, I would always add more flour on the board, so went down a lot.  I loved the crumb, also folded during rise rather than knead.  But my loaves were pretty flat.  Recently I have used recipes with about 65% hydration - get a good tall loaf, but not that open crumb.  I have to find a good way to shape it, like basket or stiff cloth.

jd - I looked up pannetone.  What a treat!  pane Tony.  I want to try it.  My book said if you use wild yeast pre-ferment that it will keep at room temp for 2 weeks.  Sounds like a good thing to have around!

Tippyclub, goggle fresh loaf, they have lessons with basic recipes.  The photos make your mouth water.  Most of the bread I make is just flour, water, yeast, and salt.  I play with the flour by exchanging some for oat bran, wheat or rye, different kinds of grains.

I'm having french toast from my whey bread this morning.  OMG good.  The egg makes a nice crust but does not soak in and make it soggy.  Maple syrup, grade b.

And then there is sourdough!!!!!!  I have to stop, I'm getting over stimulated.

You girls should exchange some bread recipes, techniques.

Maybe I'll give some fresh bread a try, if its not too time consuming.

I used to bake long time ago hasn´t for many years but took it up during tx, been baking for quite some time on a regular basis now. ( one or two times a week)

What I have learned is to take less flour or more liquid it shall be sticky before and also a bit after  the fementative process.

I don´t work much with it only for 5 minuts with a wooden sleave.

I use to bake on whole grain rye flour and  regular wheat flour and i also experiment with other stuff.

It really tastes good and smells good in kitchen  too.

Great thread, nice change of pace as was Tippy's garden thread.

I have not baked bread in a few years. I have been wanting too again. I LOVE to cook(and eat). I want to try hand kneading the bread again and learn to make a nice artisan whole grain style. I have a bread machine but have not used it in a couple years. Been too preoccupied I guess.

I used to brew beer from scratch. Made some great brews.

JD- I am going to have to check out those books!

I've baked bread many times.  Haven't done it in a couple of years though.  It's a fun way to spend a few hours and that smell of baked bread is to die for!!   I've also made many, many, many banana breads.  I've made the whole wheat bread a few times and even added a little bit of honey to it.., I was surprised when it turned out so good!  I don't make homemade whey, but I eat non-fat yogurt, which has whey in it.  It's the plain type w/the acidophilus.  Also, once a week, I go by my favorite produce stand which makes 100% fresh fruit smoothies and I have them add in the whey protein to it and that's my lunch for that day.  Take care everybody and happy bread baking and eating!!

Breadmaking is my new passion.  I love the process as much as the product.  I've put aside all my machines and use my bare hands to mix the dough.  I'm learning that rising the dough slowly is how to coax out more flavor, especially in whole grain breads.  Less yeast, more rise time.  I think commercial bakeries use enzymes to speed up the process.  I didn't have much energy today but I'd work on it a little and then rest.  Good thing is the dough needs lots of rest too.  Glad to see people enjoy just talking about bread, even if they don't bake it!

Now whey making - that was triggering my gag reflex.  But I am a believer in whey for building muscles.  It has lots of minerals.  An old remedy is one tblsp of whey in a little water for digestion, young muscles, keep joints movable and ligaments elastic.  I'll acquire a taste for the powder before I drink straight whey. shudder

Just had a slice of warm whey bread, yummy.  Wish I had some strawberry jam.  homemade of course.

No tips here.  Nothing like the smell of fresh baked bread.  Although I do not bake from scratch I do use a bread machine baker sometimes.   I tried that frozen bread and it does smell great but the taste and texture was off.   Panera Bread can't be beat, and is delicious, especially if you warm it up first.  Baking is not really my thing --too easy to buy great baked goods already done.  I love to cook though ( until tx ) and always trying new recipes.  Hard to cook when your not feeling great and your not hungry either.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm........

I want more phooood.... I can't stop eating since I stopped treating, fortunately I am not balloooning.... Been baking brownies without eggs, but loads of butter and 38% cream instead of milk. Chucked a couple of chocolate bars in, too.

Baking bread sounds delicious, I haven't done that since I was a teen. Maybe I should try that again.

Okay, sorry to jump into the thread like this... I'm out again, back into the kitchen to check out the strawberries.

Whey is the liquid that separates from milk products like yogurt, cottage cheese and sour cream.  You can just pour it off, or begin making a soft cheese and pour off the whey as the curds congeal.  (Little Miss Muffett must have been eating yogurt!)

I want some of those scones, cinnamon please & I'll buy the butter LOL.

I am almost afraid to ask but how does one make whey?

I don't bake much of anything as my oven s*cks but I do have a bread maker and fresh rosemary & garlic bread with home made seasoned olive oil is fantastic.

I would love to find a recipe for the 12 grain fresh baked that Giant Eagle makes.

I love to bake bread.  I recommend the Tasahara Bread Book - it has lots of great stuff.  At Christmas time I bake, and homemade bread is really well received.  

NY Times cookbook has a great recipe for Swedish Bread (almond flavored, yummy!) and I make pannetone (I use Martha Stewart's recipe)

Scones and strawberry jam - ooooooooh, sunqueen, I'm coming to your house.

Great bread thread!

I can't bake bread to save my life but one of the hobbies I've taken up recently is jam making. Today I'm going to toss together some strawberry jam because they've been delightfully plump, sweet and cheap here. Tomorrow I'm planning to toss together a batch of habanero jam. Couldn't tolerate any sort of spice during tx and now I crave it! Mangoes are exploding off the trees now and will probably put up some preserves too.

I make scones.

We should start a co-op, LOL.

Wonderful new thread.

I love bread. I don't have a sweet tooth but when I eat bread (with real butter, I admit), I'll often say to my husband very seriously and with wonder, "Who would ever want to eat cake when you can eat bread?"

It has to be good stuff, though, and frankly some of the 'health' breads taste like sawdust.
