Questions & Replies

  1. Thank you, I used quinoa flour because I have no wheat, it turned out to be okay..
     
  2. Am find it hard to achieve good rising in my bread baking. Though I use yeast. What can I do.
     
  3. Okay, tried the boiling water and it bubbled violently. I used water out of the tap, should it be warm? Also I kneaded the dough, was this a mistake? p.s. I’m an 84 yr old man trying my hand at making bread I bought at the Italian bakery in Brooklyn. Not doing so well.
     
  4. I just tried my first batch and it came out heavy with very little rising (no bubbles in the bread). What do you suppose happened? Any suggestions?

  1. I used this dough to make a pepperoni and cream cheese roll!! Pretty excited! As someone with a degree in pastry arts I was very pleased with this elasticity of this dough!

  2. I tried this recipe yesterday and was very pleased with the results. Its important to handle the dough as little as possible to get a nice light textured bread that does not turn out heavy like a scone or biscuit.
     
  3. For a quick bread, this is quite tasty. Good crust and nice flavor. Mine came out just a little bit crumbly but it was delicious with a little butter. I did add a TBSP or two of milk in place of part of the water. My husband had several pieces with jam. I'll make this again when I'm short on time and need a quick bread with dinner.
     
  4. This quick bread recipe is perfect when you need bread on the fly. I added orange zest, a pinch of sugar and a smidge of vanilla for absolutely delicious scones.
     
  5. The pros: Quick, easy, few ingredients. Very simple to make if you need bread within the next hour and want a home-made one.<br/>The cons: Very mild taste, not that good and not fluffy/soft enough. I expected more.

Tweaks

  1. I used butter flavored canola oil, and course whole grain spelt flour instead of whole grain wheat. I also used carbonated mineral water to help with the rising and half the amount of salt. Because the dough was sticky to handle I sprinkled it with oatmeal which also gave it a nice crust.
