Hi Juststarting,
Did you want recipes that you can make in a bread machine or in the oven?
Please let me know.
In the meantime, here is a Rosemary-Olive Bread recipe that you make in the oven and a Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream Bread you make in a bread machine.
Rosemary-Olive Bread
Ingredients:
2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast (1 package)
2 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
1/2 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
5 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
2 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions:
In a bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; let the mixture stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the olives, flours, rosemary, salt and yeast mixture. Knead on medium speed until the dough is soft and smooth, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn out onto to a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Return the dough to the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and let rise until doubled, 45 to 50 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, press the dough flat; stretch the sides of the dough down and under to form a tight, round shape. Pinch the seam underneath the loaf closed. Place the loaf in a floured round stoneware baker and dust the top with flour. Cover with the lid and let rise 30 to 40 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C).
Using a serrated knife, cut a large, shallow X on top of the loaf. Cover and bake until the loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 1 hour.
Makes 1 loaf.
This bread is delicious and would be great eaten with a chicken meal, such as roasted lemon-chicken, or really almost any type of meal. A good hearty bread that always works well with mediteranean food. The rosemary gives it a special flavor.
Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream Bread (Bread Machine Method)
Ingredients:
1 cup water
3 cups white bread flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon powdered buttermilk
1/4 cup dairy sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon dry ranch salad-dressing mix
1 teaspoon active dry yeast or bread-machine yeast
Instructions:
1. Add ingredients to a 1-1/2-pound capacity bread machine according to manufacturer's directions. Select basic white bread cycle (Note: machine pan must have capacity of 10 cups or more).
Makes 16 slices (1 1/2 pound loaf).
Please let me know about whether you want recipes for bread machine making or regular oven making bread.
Sincerely, Diana
