Bread
For replacing sugar in any bread recipes see section 2.12.11. Only one
simple bread recipe will be given here, as adapted from Crane (1980).
Ingredients (in parts by weight):
|
700 |
Wheat flour (whole wheat flour can be
used) |
|
450 |
Milk |
|
7 |
Honey |
|
20 |
Fresh yeast (or 5 dried yeast) |
|
5 |
Salt |
Mix the yeast and honey, add to the warm milk and leave for 10
minutes. Mix the shortening with the flour and the salt, then add the milk
to form a smooth, elastic dough. Knead well and add water if necessary.
Leave to rise for 2.5 hours (or until double in size) in a warm place (300C)
and in a deep, greased, pre-warmed (300C) covered container. Then
divide in two, knead lightly, leave to rest 10 minutes, form into loaves in
baking tins, cover with a cloth (ensure that the cloth does not touch the
dough) and allow it to rise in the same warm place again for an hour or
until double in size. Then bake in a preheated oven at 220 0C for
about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Recipes with baking soda instead of
yeast are much easier and quicker, since no rising is required, which is a
phase very sensitive to disturbances.
