| Help! I can't make bread! Posted: 9/3/2007 3:12:37 PM | 90 Minute Bread recipe 4 cups warm water 4 packages yeast 4 teaspoons salt 8 tablespoons granulated sugar 4 tablespoons vegetable oil 7 to 8 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Mix in remaining ingredients until dough is soft, but not sticky. Use all whole wheat flour, all white, or mixture as desired. Whole-wheat pastry flour is the most silky and desirable for all baking purposes. When dough is soft and leaves sides of bowl, cut into 4 pieces. Let stand 15 minutes.
Pound each piece of dough for 1 minute with rolling pin on a lightly floured board. Form into loaves and put into 4 greased loaf pans. Let stand 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cool rack before removing loaves from pans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- maybe you worry bout it to much lets try this fast and easy, write back and tell me how it turned out,,,, terry | |

APPLE PECAN QUICK BREAD
Here's a terrific quick bread for any time of day. If there's any left over, this bread is great when lightly toasted and spread with some cream cheese. For an added tart flavor, substitute cranberries for half the apples.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup orange juice 1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped golden Delicious apples 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt, making a well in the center. Set aside. Stir in the liquid ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently stir in the apples and the pecans. Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into center of loaf comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
