Yes, I'm looking on bread-related newsgroups, but just in case y'all
wanna contribute, I'm looking for yummy stuff to make in my new bread
machine (birthday present from Guy -- I have good taste in husbands).

It makes 2-pound loaves, but 1.5 pounds would be great, too. Any
ideas?

Right now, there's a loaf in there with oatmeal and that new
white-whole-wheat flour. I'll post the recipe if it ends up being any
good.

This bread came right out of the manual that came with my machine 15 1/2
years ago. It makes the nicest texture for sandwich bread.

Buttermilk Wheat Bread
Yields: 12 servings

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

DIRECTIONS:
1.Place all ingredients into a bread machine in the order recommended by the
manufacturer. Select the Basic White Bread setting, then press Start. If the
ingredients do not form a ball after a few minutes, add a splash more
buttermilk, or a handful of flour if it is too loose.

This recipe I altered from one in a bread book to fit the bread machine.
Sorry after all the years I don't remember who's book it was. It makes a
really tasty white bread.

White Mountain Bread for the bread machine
1 1/2 cups 1 % milk
2 T butter
2 T honey
1 tsp salt (original recipe called for 2 tsp)
4 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast

Put ingredients in order of bread machine directions. This is for a 2 pound
loaf.

I make this a lot this time of year, because I've made a lot of my own apple
butter and don't feel too decadent using it up in bread.

Apple Butter Wheat Bread
1 1/2 POUND LOAF

1 cup water, plus 1 T of water
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 T butter or margerine
1/4 cup apple butter
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

Place all ingredients in bread pan, select light crust setting, and press
start. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake
rack, and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.

Note: This is a very soft bread when it first comes out of the pan, so
it's best to wait several hours before slicing it. From Bread Machine Magic

Use the yeast you can get at the grocery store in two-pound bags
(Fleischman's maybe) for $10, not the stuff in the jars that cost $5 for
two oz. or whatever. Keep it well sealed in the freezer. That will
save you $0.50 or so per loaf and keep you from running out of yeast so
often.

Thank you!

ObRecipe: Here's the bread I made tonight. It's really good; much
less boring than the plain wheat bread I made last time. (I just threw
in what I thought would work, and it did.)

(White whole-wheat flour is a new thing on me -- it says it's still
whole grain, but it's lighter in color and texture than regular
whole-wheat flour.)

White Wheat Bread with Oatmeal

2 cups water
5 cups white whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 T dry milk
2 tsp. salt
5 T vital wheat gluten
2 T cold butter
1/2 cup oats
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp.) dry yeast

Put into bread machine in the order recommended, and bake on wheat
cycle.

I make a buttermilk white, too. My recipe is almost identicical but I
use King Arthur bread flour. Also a teaspoon of vanilla extract in the
mix is good too, believe it or not.

Does it just give it a hint of a different flavor, or does it end up
tasting vanilla-y?

No. It's barely noticible, but it's there. It goes well with the smooth
texture the buttermilk gives the bread. It's just slightly sweet.
Here's my recipe for one loaf:

2 Cups Bread Flour
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter (Margarine will work)
1 Tablespoon Cane Sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Approx. 1 Cup of room temperature buttermilk. Maybe a little more if
the dough seems too dry or a little more flour if it seems too wet.
These things are never 100% predictable.

Throw it all in your bread machine and run it on normal/white/generic
or whatever your standard setting is.

Cool; thanks!

Right now, I'm making pizza dough in the bread machine. I'll let
y'all know how it goes, and I'll post the recipe if it's good.

We eat a lot of bread in this house (mostly whole-grain, but not
entirely), and so far, the bread machine's been a blessing. Nothing
like hot, fresh bread for less than half the price of store-bought.

I wondered how long the Costco bag of yeast would last in the freezer. I
had the bag in the freezer for 4 years. Once I past the expiration date on
the bag I'd proof the yeast each time before throwing it in the bread maker.
I ran out of yeast. It never went bad.

Mine was the cinnamon raisin bread from "Bread Machine Magic," a book I
highly recommend but can't find right now. Besides well-tested
recipes, it has a number of good tips for new bread machine users.

Don't know where the OP lives so I'm not sure if this tip is usable
but I buy a good-sized (2 lb?) bag of yeast at Smart and Final for
next to nothing compared to what the grocery stores charge. I store
it in the freezer, but since I make at least a loaf a week (sometimes
2), I'm not worried about it expiring -- but do check the date before
you buy and make note of it when you store it.

Cool; I'm in Oakland/Berkeley, and I have a Smart & Final near-ish to
me. Thanks for the tip!

I keep my big bag in the freezer but I refill a jar in my fridge. What I'm
trying to avoid is taking the bag out of the freezer every time I make a loaf
of bread so I can keep condensation to a minimum.

Serene, here is my homemade recipe for my "Disgustingly healthful bread
machine bread", which even my son likes!

Annie's Disgustingly Healthful Homemade Bread Machine Bread Mix

(Makes enough for several loaves)

5 pounds bread flour
5 pounds whole wheat flour minus 4 cups of the whole wheat flour
3 cups oat flour
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup walnut meal
2 cups date sugar
1 cup powdered milk
6 Tablespoons powdered egg replacer

Mix all ingredients really well (we put it in the bottom of a big
container and then use a hand-held electric mixer on it!)

To make bread, put in your bread machine:

3 1/2 cups bread mix
1 1/3 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 teaspoons (or 1 envelope) yeast

You can also add 1-2 Tablespoons of oil to this, although we don't.

Bake in bread machine using the whole wheat or whole grain setting.

We also experiment with replacing the:

3 cups oat flour
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup walnut meal

.... with 4 cups of other things. My last batch had 1 cup each of
semolina, dark rye, quinoa and spelt flours!

I also have this book and second the motion. I am making a loaf of
DeDe's Buttermilk Bread from this very book right now. It's one of
our favorites. The onion soup bread is fabulous too, as is the
cheddar cheese bread.

Onion soup bread? Made with onion soup, or to go with onion soup? Or

That's a *lot* of yeast, for most of us. Anybody know how much more
"life" you could get out of the yeast by storing it in the freezer?

Kept frozen and properly packaged yeast never becomes unusable.

It *is* a lot of yeast but I make a lot of bread :-) You could buy
smaller amounts at a food co-op, but my experience with doing that was
dodgy. I just keep mine in the freezer - it's been in there over a
year with nary a problem yet.

They have it in at a lot of health food stores, and Whole Foods
carries it, near the brown sugar.
