![]() I don't have any recipes for baking bread with a microwave oven. I think microwaves ovens are not interchangeable, so a recipe from a book with one microwave in mind might not work on another. So far, I've been improvising. I tried just mixing some flour, water and baking soda and putting it right in the microwave. If I simply let it cook for a couple of minutes at full power, it gets all hard and dried out and looks somewhat burned. If I cook it at the lowest possible power, it dries out much more slowly and never seems to burn but also never seems to quite cook. To deal with that last problem, I've let it cook for 1 minute at full power. I've tried making rolls and small loaves and have obtained results that I'm not sorry about having eaten but which don't really seem like bread. They are quite dense. I'm hoping to do better once I can let the dough rise, but I really need to have some rational way to think about using the microwave for this. I might be able to get some a few from the manufacturer, and maybe they will suffice, but it would be nice to be able to go beyond that.
