SUPER-FOOD PROTEIN LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5. Line a 1.5-litre loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
• Fill a jug with 375ml of lukewarm water, add the yeast and oil, then mix with a fork until combined and leave aside for 5 minutes.
• Pile the flour, ground almonds and all the seeds into a large bowl with a pinch of sea salt and make a well in the middle. Pick, finely chop and add the rosemary leaves. Crack in the eggs, add the Marmite (if using - simply leave it out for a gluten-free friendly loaf) and beat together, then pour in the yeast mixture.
• Whisking as you go, gradually bring in the flour from the outside until combined - it'll be more like a batter than a dough. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth out nice and evenly on top.
• Now you've got two choices - bake it straight away and it'll puff up a bit more and taste fantastic, or cover and place it in the fridge overnight and allow some slightly more complex sour flavours to develop. Both are brilliant, just different.

• Add half flour and yeast mixture.
• Stir well.
• Add remaining flour and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95C) and then turn off.
• Grease an ovenproof bowl and place dough in it. Let rise in oven. Punch dough down.
• Divide into three, place into three greased loaf pans, poke holes in loaves and let rise again.
• Bake 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220C) for 20-25 minutes.

QUICK YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Put 4 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into large bowl.
• Pour in hot water and oil and mix until combined- it will be sticky.
• Add the remaining flour in increments until dough is no longer sticky.
• Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth.
• Place dough back into bowl and cover with a damp teatowel and let it rise until double its size- about 1/2 hour.
• Punch it down and divide dough into two pieces.
• Roll pieces long enough to fill two well oiled loaf pans and leave to rise until dough has reached the rim of the pan.
• Bake at 400F for 40 minutes.
• Rub hot breads with water and wrap in a teatowel to'sweat' to soften the crust.

BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix dry ingredients and beer.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over mixture.
• Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
• UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
• Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
• I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
• The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
• Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

COCONUT FLOUR BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Use a medium bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients, eggs, coconut oil, and honey (if using).
• In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, salt, and baking powder.
• Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is lump-free.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pan and allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes. This helps the coconut flour absorb all of the liquid.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out dry.
• Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing for at least an hour.
• Store the bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or slice the bread and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• To unthaw frozen bread slices, remove the slices from the freezer and either leave them in a container in the fridge and they will be unthawed within a few hours or microwave at intervals of 30 seconds until thawed.

HEALTHY SWEET BREAD RECIPE MADE WITH SPELT FLOUR

Steps:

• Heat a small sauce pan on the stove at medium-high heat to scald the milk. Scald milk in the pan on the stove top so it bubbles slightly around the edges but does not boil. As soon as the edges start to bubble remove from the heat. Let cool to lukewarm.
• Once the milk has cooled to lukewarm transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Combine the milk, yeast, 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar and 1/2 cup of flour. Mix well. Cover and set for 1 hour in a warm place or in the oven with it off and a bowl of warm water on a baking rack below.
• After 1 hour add to your yeast mixture 1/2 cup of coconut sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, 2 beaten eggs. Mix well. Slowly add melted coconut oil and continue to mix so the oil does not harden. Stir into a dough. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of flour. Knead for about 3-5 minutes and add more flour if needed. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl to rise. Cover and let rise in a cooled oven with a bowl of water underneath for about 3 hours.
• Remove from oven the preheat oven at 375 Degrees F.
• On a floured surface, divide dough into thirds. Pinch at the top and braid. Pinch at the base and make into a circle. Bast the top of the bread with 1 egg yolk. Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds. Bake 20-25 minutes.
• *FOR ROLLS: Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Place 2 inch dough rounds about 1/2 in apart so you have a total of 12 rolls. Let rise 30 minutes. Baste the tops of the rolls with 1 egg yolk. Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes.

• Bake on the hot baking sheet for 40-45 mins or until golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into slices.

EASY WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• Mix 500g strong white flour, 2 tsp salt and a 7g sachet of fast-action yeast in a large bowl.
• Make a well in the centre, then add 3 tbsp olive oil and 300ml water, and mix well. If the dough seems a little stiff, add another 1-2 tbsp water and mix well.
• Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for around 10 mins.
• Once the dough is satin-smooth, place it in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rise for 1 hour until doubled in size or place in the fridge overnight.
• Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Knock back the dough (punch the air out and pull the dough in on itself) then gently mould the dough into a ball.
• Place it on the baking parchment to prove for a further hour until doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
