Its hard to think of anything else that can beat the smell of freshly baked bread, so, enjoy these fabulous recipes.

Some are specifically for use with a Bread Maker, others you will “knead” some elbow grease, but the effort is more than worth it. The only frustrating thing, is that as soon as it comes out of the oven, hungry mouths scoff it down. As my mother used to say “Thirty minutes to prepare it, two minutes to eat it”

If you are guten intolerant, then there should be plenty of recipes for you here as well and if any of you have any of your own recipes that you would like to share with the whole world then please send either to bread@breadnet.net or the bread@theinfochief.com.

1/3 cup sesame seeds
3 Tbl. gluten
4-1/2 Tbl. flaxseed meal

1 cup bread flour
1/2 cup barley flour
2 tps. poppy seeds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
2 tps. dry yeast

Can be baked on the 1-1/2 lb cycle.

Optional:
Up to 1 cup of any kind of seed/nut combination can be used, but care should be taked because the dough ball is heavy. That’s why only 2/3 cup of seeds is used here. The loaf rises to full-size in the bread pan and bakes fine.

Here is a very simple, very good recipe for French bread; I’ve used it a 1000 times & it’s never failed, even with questionably-dated yeast.

Makes one 1 1/2 lb. loaf

1 c. + 2 T. lukewarm water
1 t. lemon juice, fresh or bottled
1 1/2 T. olive oil
1 1/2 T. sugar
1 t. salt
3 1/2 c. flour
2 t. yeast
Bake on French Bread cycle. Can be baked on Instant Cycle by increasing yeast to 2 1/2 t. For an even tastier loaf, add a teaspoon of basil, oregano, marjoram, leaf sage, or tarragon.
