I wrote that today I just tossed all the ingredients into the food processor, added the warm water and processed it for about 60 seconds total. Dumped it into a Pam sprayed Ziploc bag to rise. It was so easy, it almost made itself!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-27321083013792316392008-12-03T15:33:00.000-08:002008-12-03T15:33:00.000-08:00I made the bread tonight and it is fabulous!

For that, and for the buns, I always brush butter over the surface of the crust just as it comes from the oven. <BR/><BR/>The burger buns were delicious! We had them with grilled hamburger last night, and I'm going to make another entire recipe into buns today for ham sandwiches and for some extra long hot dog buns to go with the extra long hot dogs I bought last week.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-49501516101218564252008-11-30T05:37:00.000-08:002008-11-30T05:37:00.000-08:00I can't wait to give this a try.

It really bugs me when people bring stuff back to the store and the store just puts it back on the floor without checking. Once I exchange it, I'll try making it in the processor.<BR/>(Thanks for the tips.

Do you have a food processor? ...Thank you, Cheryl. Do you have a food processor? I never could bake decent looking/tasting bread until I began using mine. I just dissolve the yeast in the warm water, then put everything in the processor and let it run until it comes together. Test for moisture (I like mine a bit soft and sticky) then process for about one minute. Dump it into a greased bowl, cover and let rise. Punch down, let rest 5 minutes and shape. I use any recipe that calls for about 3 cups of flour. I doubled mine today, but it was quite hard on the processor, so I think I'll stick to single batches in the future. It takes less than 5 minutes to whip out one batch, so ten minutes spent on two batches is not a lifetime!<BR/><BR/>I usually use half and half bread flour and whole wheat flour or all purpose flour. Using all bread flour makes a nicer loaf, but I only do that when "pretty" counts!<BR/><BR/>I have a couple of other recipes I'll post this winter, ones we really love and they are super simple.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-86630541776399256052008-11-29T15:24:00.000-08:002008-11-29T15:24:00.000-08:00I had the opposite problem with the bread I baked ...I had the opposite problem with the bread I baked for Thanksgiving. I made rolls with half and the other half I made into a braided loaf. It was really pretty. I tried to pretend like the rolls were good, but I didn't fool anybody. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had the secret touch that you have. Yours are gorgeous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
