This was the easiest and softest bread I have ever made! The rise time took longer because I have a cold and drafty kitchen right now. It's just plum nasty here. But...I will do this again and next time I want to make rolls!
I had something come up once when I was making it & had to rush it a little. I turned my oven on its lowest setting to warm for a bit then shut it off & put the bread in to rise. It worked really good & shaved some much needed time off the rise. The bread still came out great. Might be something to consider if it's cold again & you want to make some.The rise time took longer because I have a cold and drafty kitchen right now.
I did turn on the oven...and put the bowl and the loaf pans on top...when it was rising. Oh yeah!

There was someone else that experimented with that & said it was still great. I will see if I can find the thread for you.It was almost too easy. It does have a sweeter taste as everyone said. Can you just put 1/3 cup sugar in it? Just wondering...know that breads are a bit picky when you start changing up the base recipe. I will for sure use it over and over again. Did a "maiden voyage" in a Pampered Chef loaf pan I got as a gift. Worked beautifully too.
Thanks B! Will try that!Here you go http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/129954/first-try-with-rollers-amish-white-sandwich-bread/20 Post 24 is where it starts talking about reducing the sugar.
Cool! I do have one of those! Will try it next time! Thanks Sweetie!This was the easiest and softest bread I have ever made! The rise time took longer because I have a cold and drafty kitchen right now. It's just plum nasty here. But...I will do this again and next time I want to make rolls!
KathrynN, A trick i learned from Alton Brown on the Food Network is to place the rising dough on a heating pad set on low and cover with a plastic cover like the one bakeries use to cover a 1/4 sheet cake ( i use a cover from a disposable plastic seed starter hot house). PS keep a sharp eye on the dough, it works quickly.
Nope....I did it in the crock pot too. 1st time for me and it's easy.Nice breakfast! I would have to have more than just one to fill me up though... Your applebutter looks good! I've never tried to make it before - is it hard?
Well that sure seems easy - Thanks!Nope....I did it in the crock pot too. 1st time for me and it's easy.
I peeled, cored and sliced apples. Used 2 different kinds of apples from a local produce stand. Put as many as it would hold in the crock pot. Added about 2 cups of Apple Cider from there too about 1/2 cup. The juice of a whole lemon. 1 cup of plain sugar. 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of cloves and set the crock on warm over night. Then the next morning, I cracked the lids a bit..to let the moisture cook out for about 4 more hours. Used a "boat motor" (immersion) blender and pureed it. Then canned them. I did some with pumpkin too!
