AB5MD hints?
I've been having fun with" Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day".
However, as I read other sources, I'm picking up hints, like mixing all the dry together, then gradually adding water to get the ideal consistency (otherwise i end up with a sticky mess) or just recently, adding a small amout of powered milk to slow down the getting-stale process. and the most useful that 6 1/2 C= 2#. Wonder if you've found other hints that you found useful? - Mike |

I gave most away. :-) Ginger Molasses cookies 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup molasses 1 egg 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ginger Granulated Sugar In large mixer bowl, beat together shortening, butter and sugar until creamy. Add molasses and egg, beating until well blended. In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves and ginger. Add to molasses mixture; mix well. Cover and chill at least two hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Form dough into 1-inch balls (a rounded measuring teaspoonful is about right). Roll each ball in granulated sugar; place on non-stick or parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart (you should have 5 rows of 4 balls each). Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and edges are set. Do not overbake. Let stand 1 minute on sheet. Remove to wire rack to cool. Makes 5 dozen cookies. |

The whole idea behind these breads is that you don't have to knead the dough but allow time for things to develop naturally. Too bad we didn't know about this thousands of years ago. Anyway, mixing in a bag is real handy and neat and you can even mix up a batch while watching TV. If you're interested in strengthening your grip or loosening up your joints, you can now utilize kneading as an exercise or recreational activity. Good bread to you, sir! |

Yes, remember ( I do anyway) that I tried a few times last year and couldn't get the tops to crack until I tried ImStillMags recipe, these are crisper and good too. Cheri |

It probably won't be big enough for 2 big loves of bread - it's certainly big enough for 2 big pizzas. |

How do you keep it from sticking to the bag? |

That can be a problem. I like to add a little oil to the mix which helps the dough not stick to the bag. If you work the dough around a bit, it typically will not stick too much. Perhaps if you oil up the bag first, it'll work better. I'll have to try that next time. |

The end result tastes fine but it doesn't rise nearly as much. |

The pure gingersnaps were way to overpowering. I didn't eat it all. IMO now, if you use ginger snaps for a crust, use 1/2 of them mixed with 1/2 graham crackers to tone them down a bit. > > Have you ever eaten Lemon Chiffon Pie? Here's a good hit. Once I made some pie and had some leftover crust. With the leftover crust dough, I formed and cooked about 4-6 mini pie shells in a cupcake pan. One cooked, I filled them with yogurt. I had some yogurt that came in two parts. Large bottom layer was lemon yogurt and the top was vanilla yogurt. Put in those baked mini pie shell made a good treat. |

That didn't happen, so I could make 'nilla crumbs to mix in. Thanks. -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room |
