Fernando's Favorite House Bread
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
- Serves:
- 16
ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat milk (AltaDena)
- 1⁄2 cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon orange juice (Tropicana)
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (Vons)
- 4 cups high gluten bleached all purpose flour (4 gr.protein not 3)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons birch sugar (common name is Xylitol)
- 2 teaspoons ghee butter
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (Red Star dry active)
directions
- Bread machine - use standard 1 1/2 hour dough setting.
- place first 4 ingredients, yes put the powdered sugar in with the liquid, in the machine.
- add the flour. add the other ingredients as normal in each corner, the yeast in the middle.
- when the cycle has finished punch down. roll out on a lightly floured bread board and form into long loaf - you'll need to roll this loaf about 8 inches longer than the pan in order to turn the ends and make into an S shape. place S shape loaf into the 12" loaf pan. Let rise about 1 hour in a draft free place covered with a floured bread towel [until doubled] - the oven with the light on and a bowl of hot water on the bottom rack works just fine for me. Bake at 390 degrees 30 minutes or so depending on your oven. Done when golden brown.

Mission statement: Please leave a creative message at the beep... and try some of my recipes. Well, at least read the titles and intros for a few giggles ;o]
Chosen profession: Domestic Engineer
Current employment: standing on corner holding sign "will food for work"
Volunteer: Sunday school (ECF) teacher - 7th grade. Family, church & friend oriented.
Music: too much to list... just know that I loathe gangsta, Yoko-Ono's stylings and what is up with fusion - I don't get it.
Sports: take me to a baseball or hockey game and I'm a happy camper.
... and hobbies: too many to list.
For fun: really really really no... really bad puns - seriously, I'm just a goof-ball.
Books: Fanny Farmer cook book is cute light reading for any good domestic engineer. I love my Nourishing Traditions cookbook. I have done a complete 180 on milk. I now LOVE LOVE LOVE Ice cold raw whole milk, and renounce soy milk completely, though I will still joyfully eat tofu - overlooking the health detriment that it imposes.
Pet peeve: When people say 'these ones' or 'those ones', instead of saying 'these' etc... "Ones" is expressed and is not necessary. The word 'utilize' is over used and over-rated. The slang word "UM".
