Bread machines are crazy popular during the holiday rush.
They make great gifts for busy people.
Want fresh bread without having to get into the mess of playing with flour? A bread machine is your answer.
All you do is measure ingredients and a few hours later some back to hot, fresh bread.
Recipes for making bread with a bread machine all have some basic ingredients, like flour, water, sugar and salt.
Beyond the basic ingredients each recipe has its own variation.
Special ingredients can be added for taste and texture.
Other ingredients are added to lend color or softness to the loaf of bread.
Dairy products are often added to the dough to make the bread soft and fresh with a great aroma.
Cheese cubes or shredded cheese can be added just before the kneading cycle is finished.
That way the cheese is incorporated into the dough thoroughly, yet individual pieces of cheese are detected in the finished product.
Most bread makers have an audible alarm near the end of the kneading cycle to alert you of the time to add the special ingredients.
Other dairy products are added in the mixing pan at the start.
Milk can be substituted for the water called for in the bread recipe.
Use the same quantity of milk as the recipe calls for water.
Milk improves the taste of the bread and gives the crust a shine.
When a delay cycle is used to make bread at a later time, dried milk should be added to the dry ingredients instead of using fresh milk.
Instead of using a cup of fresh milk, use a cup of water and add a tablespoon of dried milk to the dry ingredients.
Cottage cheese or sour cream are used in bread machine recipes to give the bread softness and taste.
Improved taste and texture are the marks of a good recipe that will be used again and again.
Try substituting ¼ to ½ a cup of cottage cheese or sour cream for the same amount of water in your recipe.
To make cottage cheese bread measure the following ingredients into the mixing pan of your bread machine in the order given, and run a light bread cycle: ¾ cup tap water, 1 large egg, ½ cup cottage cheese, 3 cups bread flour, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons dry yeast.
This recipe makes a large two-pound loaf of delicious, moist bread.
For best results the tap water should be cold.
