I just tried this one.
http://www.veganbaking.net/recipes/b...sandwich-bread Although it is much more time consuming, the results are much better. This dough is much less elastic and I got a much better rise on it. I did not have any wheat germ to put on the top but I don't think that matters much one way or the other except to increase the nutritional value just a bit. I did run into issues with the bag though. The recipe says to seal the bowl in a bag. I used a metal bowl which came with my 2 Qt. Revere pan so that it could be used as a double boiler. Somewhere (don't remember when or where), I bought a bag of Baggie Jumbo bags. They are the thin kind that need to be sealed with a twist tie. That worked well for the bowl although it was a tad tricky to get the bag down from the top to beat down the dough. The problem came in trying to use the bag to cover the pan. It wasn't nearly big enough. So I had to make do with two pieces of plastic wrap. I didn't get a complete seal but that didn't seem to matter. I also oiled the top of the loaf a bit so that the plastic wouldn't stick. I was amazed at how quickly this loaf rose! I was using quick rise yeast but with the former recipe, I had to wait the entire length of time on the rising to attain any height. And it made a rather dense loaf. It was good but it really didn't give enough rise for it to be used for sandwiches. Unless you want a very small sandwich. And it had a rather thick crust to it. This one also does not use bread flour. So... Yay! Alas, I just bought another bag of bread flour but I have been buying small bags. I think what I will do to use up the bread flour is to make a loaf when I am serving soup, or maybe I will just make several loaves and use those for stuffing. Oh and I used the new mixer for this loaf. This is the first time that I have used dough hooks. Very effective! I know I am not strong enough to try to mix this dough by hand and I don't think I even have any hand held cooking tools that could handle it either! So... Happy, happy! |
