Is there a way I can make a bread machine recipe without a bread machine?

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:26:53 +0000

I’ve found a couple recipes I would like to try but they call for a bread machine, which I do not have. Can I mix the ingredients by hand or do I need to look for more recipes?

Basically, the bread machine takes the physical work and the many steps out of baking bread and bread products. All you do is throw everything into the machine and it mixes, kneads, raises, times, and will even actually bake the bread for you if you want. Bread machine recipes can all be made the old fashioned way. It requires you to dissolve the yeast in warm liquid (not hot) with a little sugar, or honey, molasses, something sweet to feed the yeast while it multiplies. Mix together all the wet ingredients including any eggs called for. Now add the sifted flour, salt, whatever else that’s dry to your liquid. Be careful not to add it all at once because if it gets too dried out you are out of luck and have to start over. Bread making by hand is an art and you need to learn to judge when the dough is just right, not too dry, not too sticky. Knead everything together until your dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, and turn it over so the top will be greased too. This lets the dough rise smoothly. Cover with plastic wrap, or a damp towel and let rise in a warm (not hot) place for about 1 1/2 hrs or until double. Punch down, form into loaves or rolls and let rise again, about an hour. Bake at 350 until brown and it sounds hollow inside when thumped, about 30 minutes. Immediately remove from pan and cool on a rack away from drafts. To make a tasty crust, I brush the hot bread with butter. Enjoy. Buy a bread machine! Put it on your Christmas list!

How do I keep my bread from sticking to the pan?

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:23:36 +0000

I love to bake bread, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread etc. However, I keep running into the same problem. It sticks to the bottom and/or sides of the pan and the whole thing just falls apart. I have tried new pans, butter, butter and flour, a lot of butter, spray, letting it cool 15 minutes, letting it cool completely, but no matter what I do it still sticks. Please help!

You really have to glom on the crisco or butter. Or use a fresh can of Pam spray – use plenty.

Maybe you need a new pan – non-stick interior.

Is a bread machine needed for this recipe?

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:11:57 +0000

I am relatively new to baking, but I got a really good bread recipe the other day, and it calls for bread machine yeast or something like that. I don’t have a bread machine, if I do it by hand will it not turn out?

Baking bread successfully can be done without a bread maker. Your bread recipe was intended to be used in one. There is quite a difference in bread machine yeast and regular yeast (see my source) I would substitute Regular Active Dry Yeast. Then when you have mixed all the ingredients, dump it out onto a well floured surface. Shape your dough into a ball and place in a larger bowl that has been coated on the inside with shortening. I find this step is easier if you sprinkle the dough with flour before shaping as the dough tends to stick to your hands otherwise. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and set in a very warm place to rise until it has doubled in size. Coat the inside of your baking pan with shortening. Punch down and knead your dough for a couple of minutes. Shape the dough into a shape that will fit your pan and place it into the baking pan, cover again, let rise until doubled again, then bake as directed.

I frequently buy the bread machine mixes and use them without a bread machine. There are directions on the package to use if you don’t have one and they come in a variety of types; regular white, rye, sourdough, cinnamon, cheese and onion. They all work well for me.

how do I scale a bread recipe for my breadmaker?

admin — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 01:05:11 +0000

I use 4C flour, 2T, oil, 2T sugat, 1.75 tsp salt, 1.5C water, 1 pkg yeast. The bread rises VERY high…too high I would it .75 of the size it is now
Thank you! I will check out that site!

mine does the same , but I use the extended rise ,I like tall breads. it depends on the setting that you have it one or perhaps you don’t level off the yeast and you are adding more then necessary, use a knife to level the spoon..

How much does it cost to make bread with a bread machine?

admin — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 06:13:26 +0000

We just got a bread machine and wanted to know how much it cost to make one loaf of bread? Is it really cheaper than buying a loaf from the store for $1.00?? Thanks!

it is cheaper than buying a loaf of bread because once you have all the ingredients, flour, yeast, etc…you can get multiple loafs of bread out of them. you’ll spend more to get the ingredients first, but then after that each loaf of bread you make in the machine will figure out to 10 or 20 cents. plus, there’s just something about hot, fresh baked bread that makes it soooo worth it.

Can I convert a bread machine recipe to a regular oven recipe?

admin — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:28:32 +0000

I have a recipe for sweet bread. The recipe calls for the use of a bread machine. Does anyone know how to convert the recipe to a regular oven recipe? I don’t have a bread machine.

Most bread-machine recipes just have you dump in the ingredients, and then the bread machine does the mixing, kneading, and baking. Certainly you can do this by hand. Use lukewarm water or other liquid to encourage your yeast. Mix everything well and knead until smooth and elastic; you may need a little more flour so that the dough won’t be sticky. Let rise for about an hour in a warm place. Shape into loaves in appropriate pans and let rise again until doubled in volume. Then bake at about 375 F for 35-40 minutes.
