GLAZES FOR BREAD - GLAZES FOR THE HOLIDAY BREAD AND BUNS

Steps:

• GLAZE ONE: Mix egg and water ( or choose milk or cream) and mix together. Apply this ten minutes before baking time is finished.
• GLAZE TWO: Mix egg yolk and cream ( or choose milk or water) This glaze gives bread a rich brown look if applied either before baking or ten minutes before baking is done.
• GLAZE THREE: Beat egg white with the cold water - gives a shiny look. Apply five minutes before baking is finished.
• GLAZE FOUR - SWEET GLAZE: Combine the sifted icing sugar with milk, adding vanilla to taste. Drizzle over loaves after they have been baked - apply twice -- half as soon as taken from oven and then again when bread has cooled a bit.

FEATHER BREAD (BREAD MAKER - FOR BREAD - ROLLS - AND BUNS.)

Steps:

• Be sure to whisk that flour before measuring - I soften the margarine in the micro wave.
• Place ingredients in order listed with the flour and yeast going in last.
• Choose your cycle.During the first mixing check to assure your dough has the right amount of flour and water - dough should look nice and shiny.Flours differ so you may need to add lukewarm water a teaspoon at a time if it is too dry- a sprinkling of flour if too sticky. Never add more then 3 tablespoons of either the flour or the water. In my breadmaker the whisked flour and the carefully measured ingredients are right on. Makes a large loaf.
• FOR DOUGH use dough cycle - when cycle complete shape into bread, buns or rolls. I often make braided loaves topping with sesame seeds.
• Brush tops with softened butter or margarine.Rise 20 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
• Bake in a 350 oven until nicely golden brown brushing with softened butter or margarine just before they are done - I brush them again when I take them out - makes for nice tops.
• Time varies - check your machine. Cooking time is machine and baking time.
