LC Bread Instructions & Pictures
I promised a couple of weeks ago to post the instructions for Kay’s Final Bread, made by hand. Although I have not made this bread by hand by girlfriend has and I have seen her results. The following is the method she uses. For the complete recipe and ingredients check the Recipes Section (Bread and Pasta) of the board under Final Bread by Kay.
HAND METHOD:
Note: use a pkg. of dry yeast instead of 2.5 tsp. of machine yeast.
Soften active dry yeast in ¾ cup of warm water (110 degrees) with 1 tsp. sugar. Combine whipping cream, oil, and beaten eggs. Blend yeast and cream mixture together just before adding to the flour mixture.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. (gluten flour, oat flour, whey protein, salt, ground flax seed meal, stevia, baking power and salt).
Add the yeast/cream mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix together. Turn out on to a lightly (gluten) floured surface and kneed until smooth. Will take approximately 10 minutes. The dough will be more sticky to work with than “white flour”.
As Kay indicated, put it in a non-stick pan greased pan, cover and let rise 60-70 minutes.
HINTS:
These are little hints that may help you either for machine or hand made bread.
I have great luck by setting my heating pad on one of the lowest settings and putting my covered bread on it to rise. Here in Canada where it’s nice and warm now you might not find this necessary, but in the winter this helps give an even temperature for the bread to rise.
Also, Kay indicates baking for 50 minutes. I find that 30 minutes bakes the crust to my liking, but I like a light crust. I should also mention that I have to bake on the lower rake in my oven to keep the bread from touching the top element and that could cause it to bake a little faster.
When I take the bread from the oven when it’s still hot I brush it with butter, which makes the crust softer as well.
I cut my bread with an electric knife and that makes it easier to get thin slices.
Good luck, I hope I haven’t missed anything….I had this on the weekend with tuna, a slice of tomato, lettuce, a piece of bacon, and sliced cheddar cheese……….ymmmmmmy.
I have attached pictures to show you my results.
Kay did a great job putting this recipe together….thanks again Kay.
