The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible.
Then you gradually change in to them.

No, as I said in the cinnamon roll post I just used a plain whiote
bread dough and poured in some powdered parmesan and a large grated
carrot. Full recipe for one loaf would be as follows:

25 g yeast
25 g margarine melted
3 dl water
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
6 dl wheat flour
1 grated carrot
2 tbsp parmesan cheese

crumble the yeats in a bowl adn pour the sugar in
melt the margarine and mix with the water. Get it to 37 degrees C
pour it over the yeast ansd stir until the yeast is dissolved
mix in flour, carrot, parmesan and salt and stir stirdily until the
dough lets go of the sides of the bowl. It might take some more flour.

Leave covered to rise for half an hour

kneed the dough and then form a loaf (I used a loaf baking form) and
let raise for anothger ten minutes.
Brusk woth water, spinkle with sea salt and bake in the lowqer half of
the oven at 200 degrees C

Ah. I saw the cinnamon roll subject but didn't read it because I
wasn't interested in cinnamon rolls :>

Thanks for posting a recipe for the c&p bread.

Last night I tried this using a recipe for 50% whole wheat bread in
my bread machine. It came out great. The only change I would make
for ABM would be to start with about 3/4 of the amount of water called
for, as the carrot (about 1 cup shredded) was pretty juicy. I had to
add more flour which made a loaf that was a bit too big for the pan.

That sounds really good. I am in awe of people that bake well. My mom
wasn't much of a baker and I never made the effort to learn.

I notice in my wanderings that a lot of people are giving up their bread
maker machines. If someone was new to baking bread, would you recommend
a machine or to learn doing it by hand?

I'd like to try a simple bread recipe one weekend and see how I do. I
always thought onion bread sounded really good so would probably try
that second.

Anyway... your bread Does sound really good.

I have never used a bread machine so I am not the right person to
ask. I am sure other people in this goups is experienced enough to
help you.

If you make a nice loaf eventuually you'll want to make a lot more. If
there is only you then a ABM makes sense or if you have trouble kneading or
whatever. If you're in good physical shape it takes less time to make a
loaf by hand and you can make a lot of loaves at once. My mother never
owned a KA mixer and made around 10 loaves of bread a week. Took her all of
a Saturday morning and into the afternoon. When she got older and arthritic
she missed homemade bread and resorted to a ABM. She said it wasn't as good
as hers but it was close.

it sounds awesome.....

If you have the time and think you would like to make it into a hobby,
then definitely start out by making it by hand.

Good plan!

If you can score one of your friends' discarded bread machines, you
might want to see if you like that method. I enjoy my bread machine
and have had it for 10 years.

I dug up a recipe I had saved in my notebook for whenever I gave this a
try and wanted to see if you thought it was a good learning recipe.

White Bread

Makes 2 loves
5 1/2 to 6 cups all purpose flour
3 Tbs sugar
2 pkgs Rapid Rise Yeast
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
2 Tbs butter or margarine

In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt.
Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120 to 130F); stir into
dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at med speed , scraping bowl
occasionally. Stir in 1 cup flour; beat at high speed for 2 minutes,
scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft
dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about
8 to 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half. Roll each half to 12 x 7 inch rectangle. Beginning
at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch
seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in greased 9 x 5 inch
loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft free place until doubled in
size, about 45 minutes. Bake at 400F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
Remove from pans; cool on wire rack. To Make whole wheat bread
Substitute 2 cups whole wheat flour for part of all-purpose flour.

Does this recipe sound ok and what kind of thermometer do you use to
check the liquid temp in this recipe? All I use is a meat thermometer.

Sorry for all the questions...
Clueless in Oregon, Helen (Thanks)

I would like to try one out but all the ones that I find are Without the
instructions. It's a shame to because the are only about $4.00 second
hand. Some of the ones I've seen don't look like they'll get of the
ground without a flight manual, if you know what I mean. Even if I learn
to do it by hand I'd still like to pick one up and see how I do.

Thanks, Helen

If they are brand name ABM's the manuals should be availible at the brand
names's website. There are ABM newsgroups.
