My Mom In Law, the Yoda of Yard Sales bought me a lightly used bread machine... I love it. and while it -is- a unitasker its one i can say im using and not stashed away in the cabinet *looks at the icecream maker*
and I usually have all the ingredients on hand for either basic bread or Egg-honey bread. which i'm going to share with you all because it is yummy.
In a large measuring cup/bowl
3/4 C of warm water
1 tablespoon of sugar
3 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
3 tablespoons of unsalted sweet cream butter
3 medium or large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
3 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
3 tablespoons of unsalted sweet cream butter
3 medium or large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
in the bread machine chamber:
3 cups of bread flour
mix the wet with the dry with a spoon in the chamber of the machine, i didn't get it premixed once in my machine and ended up with a brick of flour with spongy mush on top, not good. just a quirk of my own machine, yours may be different. I did it in the chamber instead of a bowl because... i could and didn't want to make more dishes.
a lightly sweet, dense bread. I find the yeasties are very very happy in this recipe and have lifted the lid on my machine every time i make it! so you've been warned.. IT'S ALIVE!!! *cackles like a mad scientist*
i found once it was cut open it dries out fast but I live in a dry climate. but that was a rare occassion where the loaf wasn't devoured in a day.
Cold weather is starting to make its way in, so I have an excuse to make indoor food now so will update breads, dinners and whatever I feel like sharing from my crazed kitchen
