A basic white/wholemeal loaf recipe would be greatly appreciated! With modern measurments, instructions, and brand names of yeast etc if possible.
Also - if anyone has any wheat/gluten free bread recipes, they'd also be very welcome indeed.
Thanks in advance!
I have tried this following recipe, tried and true and the result was very beautiful. Ff you follow the url, there was a picture of the step-by-step instruction, but i mistakenly deleted it from Flickr.com–> but you can see the picture here http://www.flickr.com/photos/indorecipe/sets/72157600068068176/
Never Fail White Bread
* 5 - 6 cups bread flour
* 1 heaping tbsp active dry yeast + 1 scant tbsp active dry yeast
* 2 cups lukewarm water
* 1 tsp salt
* 4 heaping tbsps vegetable oil
* 8 tbsps sugar
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water, let stand until foamy. Meanwhile in a separate bowl, mix sugar and bread flour well.
- When water mixture already foamy, mix in salt and oil, mix well. Mix in flour one cup at a time.
- Knead dough on a floured surface. Place in an oil greased bowl, turn dough to coat. Cover with damp towel, place in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size. Punch down dough.
- Divide in half. Knead each for a bit and shape to loaves, place in loaf pans, let rest for another half hour. Loaves will rise in size again.
- Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.
* you can also dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm water before dissolving the yeast, either way is fine. If you don't have bread flour, mix half wheat flour and half all purpose flour, this would work as well.
