3 Flour Bread Food

3 INGREDIENT HEALTHY OAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8 x 4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper. If you don't have this size baking pan see notes for other options.
• In a large mixing bowl add oat flour and baking powder. Whisk until baking powder is evenly incorporated into the flour. If desired, you can also mix in 1/2 tsp salt. This will not affect the bread texture but will add a little more flavor to the bread. If you are trying to make a sweet bread, don't add the salt.
• Add in the yogurt. When adding in the yogurt, make sure to not drain out any of the liquid from the yogurt that may be at the top. You want to use that liquid in the bread. Use a spatula to slowly add the yogurt into the batter. Keep folding in the yogurt until it is evenly and completely incorporated. Your dough should be very thick and very sticky.
• Scrape your dough into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to help evenly spread the dough across the pan. Dampen your fingers with a tiny bit of water and then lightly press on the surface of the bread to smooth out the dough. If desired, sprinkle about 1 tbsp of rolled oats across surface and gently press the oats slightly into the surface of the bread so that they stick when baking.
• Bake bread for about 40-45 minutes. The bread should be lightly browned on top and when you press on the surface it should bounce back and not sink in. Let bread cool before cutting and serving. Bread can be toasted or eaten as is with your favorite spread.

3-INGREDIENT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides.
• Mash 3 of the bananas with a fork in a large bowl until very smooth, reserving the fourth and least-bruised banana for the bread topper. Whisk in the eggs and cake mix until just combined and no lumps remain.
• Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a small offset spatula. Slice the remaining banana in half lengthwise, then place the halves cut-side up on top of the batter, with the curves facing each other. Bake until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
• Transfer the loaf pan to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Run a knife or offset spatula around the edges of the pan, then invert the banana bread onto the wire rack and cool completely.

STOVETOP BREAD

Steps:

• Butter a 9-inch Dutch oven and set aside.
• Combine the butter, yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 cup of the flour at a time, waiting for each addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once all of the flour is added, knead on medium speed for 8 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared Dutch oven, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Put the pot over medium-low heat and cook until the internal temperature of the bread registers 200 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pot for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.

BASIC SOURDOUGH BREAD - 1, 2, 3 METHOD

Steps:

• Starter Sponge: Add starter to the water and wisk together. Add flour, mix well, cover and let sit at room temperature (70 to 75F) until doubled in volume (6 hours or overnight).
• Dough: Wisk starter sponge into the water and add enough flour to make a thin batter. Wisk to aerate dough, forming some bubbles. Add the rest of the flour and mix well to incorporate.
• Cover the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes to 30 minutes.
• Add salt and knead for 8 minutes. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
• Stretch and fold the dough once by stretching dough into a rectangle and folding letter-style side to side and top to bottom.
• Place in oiled container (straight sided is best) and mark the point on the container when the dough is doubled.
• Let rise in 75 to 80 F area for 1 hour.
• Stretch and fold the dough for the second time.
• Let rise in 75 to 80 F area for 1 more hour or until doubled in volume (total time may be 3 hours).
• Remove dough and divide into 2 pieces weighing 1 lb each and one piece the size of a ping-pong ball.
• Form smooth balls as a pre-shape and rest covered for 10 minutes.
• Shape into batards or torpedo or boule shapes. If resistant to stretching, let rest for 5 to 10 min and repeat.
• Place loaves on a parchment covered cloth folded to support all sides of each loaf and cover with oiled plastic.
• Place the small piece of dough in a small, straight-sided glass and mark doubled volume point with tape or marker or rubber band.
• Preheat oven to 425 F and add a cast iron skillet near the bottom of the oven to preheat as well.
• Let rise until 1 1/2 times the original volume. Watch the small piece as a guide.
• Add 1 cup of hot water to the skillet carefully to avoid breaking the oven door glass.
• Score the loaves with a double edged razor blade.
• Place parchment paper and loaves in the oven and using a flat baking sheet or a peel.
• Bake for 12 minutes and rotate pan for even cooking.
• Bake for 15 to 20 more minutes until browned or 205 F internal temp Cool on rack.

HOMEMADE BREAD FLOUR SUBSTITUTE

Steps:

• In a bowl, sift the proportional amounts of vital wheat gluten and AP flour together. If you have whole wheat flour, add a little bit (no more than 1/2 tsp-1 tsp or so per cup of AP flour) for nuttiness and substance as it adds to the weight that makes it better suited for bread and pretzel making.

FABULOUS HOMEMADE BREAD FOR THE FOOD PROCESSOR

Steps:

• Pour the warm water into a large bowl, and whisk in 4 teaspoons of bread flour, the yeast, and the white sugar until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Allow to stand until the yeast starts to form creamy bubbles, about 5 minutes.
• Fit a dough blade into a large food processor, and place 3 1/2 cups of bread flour, the oats, whole wheat flour, salt, brown sugar, and vegetable oil into the work bowl. Start the food processor running, and slowly add enough of the water-yeast mixture to allow the dough to form a firm ball and pull away from the sides of the processor, about 1 minute. Process for another 30 seconds to knead.
• Place the dough into an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and divide into 2 equal-sized pieces. Form each piece into a loaf; pinch the seams and ends closed.
• Grease 2 4x8-inch loaf pans, and place the loaves into the pans with the seam sides down. Allow to rise until the dough is 1 inch above the rim of the pans, about 1 more hour.
• While dough is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are browned, about 35 minutes. Allow bread to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks to finish cooling.

3 VARIATIONS OF A GLUTEN FREE BREAD RECIPE - BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Most of the ingredients can be placed straight into the baking pan of the bread maker in the order suggested in your manual. (Some place yeast on bottom, flour mix next, then sugar and liquids; other suggest the reverse order.).
• Place 1 & 1/2 tablespoons yeast in bread pan.
• Add all the flours, xanthan/guar gum, milk powder and salt.
• Add the sugar.
• Beat the eggs.
• Combine all the water, the butter, vinegar, and eggs. (If your bread machine manual recipes call for warm water, use that. If it has a pre-heating cycle, put in at room temperature.).
• Use the white bread setting at medium crust (if you have this selection). Alternatively 3-4 hour setting.
• NB:.
• 1. Be careful reading tablespoon and teaspoon (I have read it wrong on occasion and achieved a 'not so good loaf').
• 2. I recommend that you always go back to the ingredient list and check you have included everything (that isn't optional) before cooking.
• This bread freezes well, for convenience slice before freezing.
• WHITE & BROWN:.
• Exchange 1 cup or both cups of white rice flour for brown rice flour. The results are excellent.
• TENDER BUTTERMILK BREAD:.
• A tasty bread with a distinctive flavor, it seems to stay fresh longer than other breads. Some lactose-intolerant celiacs can use buttermilk, so this may be a boon for them if they are allergic to the soy in some of the baby formulas or the coconut oil in most of nondairy substitutes.
• Follow the recipe for White Bread, but substitute 1/2 cup powdered buttermilk for the milk powder and omit the vinegar. Follow bread machine making instructions as per normal.

3 FLOUR BREAD

Steps:

• Combine sugar and warm water and then add dry yeast.
• Combine flours, salt in a big bowl.
• After the yeast has risen, about 10-15 minutes later, mix it with flours and also add olive oil.
• Let the dough rise twice.
• Divide the dough into 4 mini bread pieces and bake in a 400F oven.

FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
• Into the dry ingredients cut in the shortening, or add oil if you are using this option, & mix with your fingertips to combine.
• Add the milk or water, working the liquid into the dough until a sticky ball forms.
• Wrap in plastic and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8-10 balls (for small tortillas) or 6-8 balls for larger ones, cover them again with the damp cloth.
• Lightly dust a counter or pastry board w/flour & roll out each ball of dough into a circle or oval approximately 1/8" thick. If you want nicely rounded tortillas, trim off any ragged edges & discard. Don't roll the dough out more than once or the tortillas will be tough.
• Heat a dry griddle or heavy skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas 30 seconds on each side or until the dough looks dry & slightly wrinkled & a few brown spots form on both surfaces. Do not over cook or they will be hard. Butter and roll up and wrap in damp tea towel to keep warm as you cook the other tortillas.
• (I place cooked ones wrapped in the damp towel in a low 200 oven to keep warm, while I am cooking the rest.) Serve warm.~~.
