Molasses

¼ tsp (improves color) (1.7g)

Active dry yeast

1 package (1 ½ tsp or 7 g)

Taste Connectionsä Bread Mix

3 ¼ C (350 g)

  2. Leave it to get frothy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the rest of the water to the frothy mixture. 

Bread

After following the recipe for the basic mixture; choose one of the following methods

 

BREAD MACHINE METHOD: Removable bread-pan

  1. Add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients into the bread-baking pan according to the bread machine manufacturer's instruction. The dough should be really sticky, if not add more water.
  2. Set the machine at dough cycle and switch it on with the dough in the pan. Preheat the oven to 375 - 400 ° F.
  3. Once the dough cycle is complete take out the pan from the machine (if it is removable) and brush the top of the risen dough with melted butter (it improves color of the crust)
  4. Place bread pan itself in the center of the preheated oven. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. (bread is baked if it sounds hollow when tapped).
  5. Remove the bread from the pan and leave it to cool covered with a towel. The bread slices even better if sliced after a few hours. 

BREAD MACHINE METHOD: Fixed bread-pan

1.      If the bread machine pan is not removable, take the dough out of the bread pan  after 20 minutes into the dough cycle.

2.      Fill a greased 1-pound bread pan with the dough, cover and leave it to rise for approximately 45 – 60 minutes or until the dough is risen to the top of the loaf pan. Brush the top of the risen loaf with melted butter (it improves color of the crust)

3.      Preheat oven and bake at 375 - 400 deg F for 22 – 25 minutes (bread is baked if it sounds hollow when tapped).

4.      Remove from pan, cover with a cloth towel immediately, and leave it to cool completely. (If cooled inside a plastic bag it makes the bread very soft)

 

MANUAL METHOD:

  1. In a large bowl, combine bread mix, oil, herbs and garlic powder (if using), and the frothy yeast mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon or dough hook until mixture forms a very sticky and not dry or stiff dough. If the dough is not sticky add more warm water. It should be so sticky that you can’t handle it by hand.
  2. Cover the bowl with saran wrap tightly and let the dough rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.
  3. Remove the dough and fill a greased 1-pound bread pan with it, cover loosely and leave it to rise for approximately 45 – 60 minutes or until the dough is risen to the top of the loaf pan. Brush the top of the risen loaf with melted butter (it improves color of the crust)
  4. Preheat oven and bake at 375 - 400 deg F for 22 – 25 minutes (bread is baked if it sounds hollow when tapped).
  5. Remove from pan, cover with a cloth towel immediately, and leave it to cool completely. (If cooled inside a plastic bag it makes the bread very soft). The bread can be sliced and frozen for longer storage. Makes 12-14 slices.

NOTE: If sliced by electric knife you can get 20  thin slices per loaf of bread.

 Pizza

The same dough as the above bread can be used to make pizza shells when the dough after the first rise is shaped into 3-4 pizza shells, left to rise for 15-20 minutes, and baked for 3-4 minutes without topping or the tomato sauce in a preheated oven at 450 deg F. Adding the herbs and the garlic powder makes dough taste great. If you have a pizza stone it makes the crust taste really great. Once you’ve tasted pizza that was baked on a stone you wouldn’t want to taste pizza baked on baking tray. These shells can be cooled and frozen tightly wrapped in foil and stored in a zip lock bag. Or for immediate use, baked shells can be spread with tomato sauce, favorite vegetables and low protein cheese and baked again for 5 more minutes until the toppings are warmed through.

 Rolls

Same dough as above can be used to make rolls. When the dough has risen once for 20 minutes in Step 2, divide the dough into 12- 14 balls and shape them into rolls by rolling between your hands. Leave them to rise for approximately 30 minutes or until well risen to double the size. Bake them in a preheated oven at 400 deg F for 10 - 15 minutes until brown. If you use a pizza stone instead of a baking tray, it makes the rolls taste really great. Once you’ve tasted rolls that were baked on a stone you wouldn’t want to eat rolls baked on baking tray. Nutrient information per slice or roll varies according to how many pizza slices or rolls are made from the dough.

BUNS

After following the above recipe for the basic mixture; choose one of the following methods

BREAD MACHINE METHOD

Put ingredients ( except butter) into bread pan. Set machine on dough cycle and start. Remove dough  after 20 minutes into the dough cycle and divide into 8 – 10  pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth round ball and flatten the balls with the palm of your hand till they are 4-inches in diameter. Keep tops smooth. Place the rolls on a lightly greased sheet. Cover lightly and set aside to raise till they are very puffy - about 40 minutes. Spread some melted butter on top for a more tan colored top. Bake at preheated 350F oven for 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully because each oven and baking pan is different. Remove and cover the rolls in a kitchen towel (cloth) and place them in a gallon-size zip lock bag to cool.  Cooling inside the plastic bag makes the buns really soft.

MANUAL METHOD:

In a large bowl, combine baking mix, oil, non-dairy creamer and Potato powder.  Now add

the frothy yeast mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon or dough hook until mixture forms a sticky and not dry or stiff dough. If the dough is not sticky add more warm water.

Cover the bowl with saran wrap tightly and let the dough rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.

Cinnamon Swirl bread:

Instead of shaping the dough into a 15’x9” rectangle shape into a rectangle that would fit a standard loaf pan. Mix the filling ingredients together and spread evenly on the dough with a 1-inch border without the filling. Using the plastic wrap to help, roll the dough tightly starting from the longer side. Seal the edge by pinching. Transfer to a greased loaf pan and leave to rise in a warm place until the dough domes above the top of the pan. Spread melted butter on top and bake in a 350 deg F oven for 20 minutes. Remove from pan, cover with a cloth towel immediately, and leave it to cool completely. (If cooled inside a plastic bag it makes the bread very soft). The bread can be sliced and frozen for longer storage. Makes 12-14 slices or more.

Nutritional information for each slice varies with the number of slice cut.
