Re: [CnD] bread machines
I hear some of those machines can be programmed to start working 3 hours before you want the bread done. so for instance if you want fresh hot bread for breakfast, you set it up to start at 4 AM and by the time you wake up around 7 the bread is ready.

Re: [CnD] bread machines
Sisi, I used a bread machine a few years ago. I found it somewhat accessible, but I didn't really like the way my bread turned out. So, I learned to make it all by hand, no mixes and no machine. If you are adventurous, you might try it. It's more work, but well worth the effort. If you want some recipes, let me know.

Re: [CnD] replacing cake mixes?
Alex, there are many recipes online for cakes made from scratch. Honestly, in my opinion, they are much better than box cake mixes and do not take that much more time to make. If it were me replacing a box mix in a recipe, I would use about 2-1/2 cups self rising flour, if it is a white or yellow cake mix, and 1-3/4 cup self rising flour and 3/4 cup hersheys coco if it's chocolate. If you want to use all purpose flour, you'll need to add about 1-1/2 tsp baking soda, 1-1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt. Hope this helps.

Re: [CnD] replacing cake mixes?
Thanks! My only question is about the flavoring. I imagine that, at least in yellow cakes, there is some flavoring like vanilla to give it a taste. How much vanilla would you say to add, if any?

Add the eggs and continue beating an additional 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan(s). 3. Bake the 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake for 40 to 45 minutes (or the 9-inch cakes for 30 to 35 minutes; the 8-inch cakes for 20 to 25 minutes), or until a wooden pick inserted near center of cake comes out clean, or until cake springs back when touched lightly in the center. 4. Cool the 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake on a wire rack. (Cool the 9 or 8-inch cakes on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.) Frost as desired. Makes 12 to 16 servings. Variations: For Marble Cake: Pour half of the prepared cake batter into another bowl. Mix 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoon warm water and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Stir into one bowl of cake batter.

[CnD] Cakes-10 Tips
HERE ARE THE TOP 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESSFUL CAKE BAKING. All cooks have their own way of doing things, which is why one recipe will taste completely different when someone else makes it. This is especially true for cakes. Baking demands accuracy and care and cakes can be tricky. Here are the top 10 secrets to successful cake baking. 1. Read the recipe through before starting. This will ensure you have all the ingredients called for and that you understand the recipe clearly. 2. Measuring quantities correctly is a baking must. One common cause of cooking failures is inaccurate measurement of ingredients. You can use the best ingredients in the world, but if you do not measure correctly, the recipe will not come out properly. The measure is a level measurement. Use liquid measures for liquid and dry for dry for accuracy. 3. Don't beat the batter too much. Over-beating a cake will cause a wrinkled top and extreme shrinkage as it cools. Always use low or medium speed on your standard or portable mixer only for the length of time instructed. If you're beating the batter by hand, beat 150 strokes per minute -- it's OK to rest now and then! 4. Use the type of pan specified in the recipe. Recipes are carefully calculated as to yield and changing the pan size alters the baking temperature and time. Larger, shallower pans need increased heat; smaller, deeper pans need decreased heat. 5. Prepare the pan according to the recipe. Greasing, dusting or lining the pan allows for easy release from the pan. Try using cocoa instead of flour for chocolate cakes to prevent a white casting on the outside of cake. 6. Always place pans as near to the center of the oven as possible. Do not place pans directly over another and do not crowd the oven. 7. Use correct oven temperatures. Never increase a cooking temperature because you are in a hurry. Heat oven (if recipe calls for it) at least 15 minutes before baking. 8. Don't open the oven door prematurely, especially during the last 15 minutes of baking. A draft can cause your cake to fall flat as a pancake! 9. Cool cakes for at least 5 to 10 minutes on a rack. Run a knife around the edges before inverting it on a rack to finish cooling. 10. Spray cooling racks with vegetable-oil cooking spray to prevent cake from sticking to it when cooling. This will ensure a smooth surface to spread frosting. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] bread machines
Oh man, that would be nice. I love to smell fresh bread baking in the cold winter months. So am looking forward to that. We are not big bread eaters all the time, but, plan on giving out different kinds you can make with it, at Christmas and other times to friends and family. Also will make some thing good to take to pot luck dinners. I hope mine will do that. But it is a small one so don't know yet till I locate a manual for all of how to do yet. I have a phone number that I got off the net on that model number and etc and plan to call them to see about getting a manual and maybe see if a paddle is missing too?

Re: [CnD] bread machines
The big question is if your machine has a dough setting. There are several steps to making bread, and baking is the last of them. Some machines and most modern machines have a dough setting which just takes it to the point before baking. This is useful for a couple of reasons. Bread machines tend to make loaves that aren't normal looking. They're the shape of the dough pan, so they are square, or sometimes more rarely, round. With a dough setting you can put the bread in a normal loaf pan and bake it in the oven , resulting in a more normal looking loaf. The other great use of the dough setting is in making yeast rolls or even cinnamon rolls. (My bread machine came with a fat free cinnamon roll recipe using this setting) For anyone looking to buy a bread machine, here are some suggestions. First, get a two pound loaf machine. The extra space is nice for any overflow, or if you want to make a lot of rolls or cinnamon rolls. Second, look for other features -- my machine also makes jam, and a friend of mine has one that makes butter. Like any appliance, get the model number and check to make sure you can get your manual online -- this just saves headache down the line. Next time I have someone sighted over here I'll get the make and model number of my machine. I'm sure it's way out of production, but it is fairly easy to use, with only three buttons and it's been reliable for a very long time. One more thing -- before you run out and buy one, I'd suggest looking at Craig's List or your local Freecycle list if you have one. Bread machines tend to be something that gets used once or twice and then not used ever again in a lot of kitchens, and this means people will give them away a few years later to get the space back. There's nothing like the smell of a crock pot roast with potatoes and carrots and such filling the house intermingled with the smell of baking bread on a cold winter afternoon. Well, nothing except the taste of the same, which trumps just about everything else. -Original Message- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Katie Chandler Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2011 11:36 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: Re: [CnD] bread machines Oh man, that would be nice.

Re: [CnD] bread machines
Hi Maria, I just bought this from a friend that was selling it at a garage sale she had going on. She got it for a Christmas present a couple of years ago and never used it. She has misplaced the manual that came with it, and, I am searching for one on line. Got a number I will call tomorrow that has replacement parts, help with questions about this model and etc to see if I can get more information. On line it told me that it beeps when it starts up and another beep when it is done. So I am hoping that I can try it out soon when I get the manual and etc. It is a, Toastmaster TBR20H Breadmaker It makes a 1 to 1and 1 half loaf of bread. It has lots of very good sounding receipes that was on line telling me what ingredient to put in first and how to do it all to make the bread. They sound good. smile.

Re: [CnD] replacing cake mixes?
Probably a teaspoon or 2 of vanilla or whatever extract you wish. I'm sure boxed cake mixes have some type of powdery flavoring in them, but you can do this with different butters, crisco oils and extracts. I might try out my own advice with the sock it to me cake. This is just my opinion only, but real butter works better and makes a better cake than margarine.

If you want to use all purpose flour, you'll need to add about 1-1/2 tsp baking soda, 1-1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt. Hope this helps.

Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). Grease and lightly flour a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan (or, two 9 x 1 1/2-inch round pans, or three 8 x 1 1/2-inch round pans). Set aside. 2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, mixing well. Add the milk, shortening and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer on medium to medium-high speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Add the eggs and continue beating an additional 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan(s). 3. Bake the 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake for 40 to 45 minutes (or the 9-inch cakes for 30 to 35 minutes; the 8-inch cakes for 20 to 25 minutes), or until a wooden pick inserted near center of cake comes out clean, or until cake springs back when touched lightly in the center. 4. Cool the 13 x 9 x 2-inch cake on a wire rack. (Cool the 9 or 8-inch cakes on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.) Frost as desired. Makes 12 to 16 servings. Variations: For Marble Cake: Pour half of the prepared cake batter into another bowl. Mix 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoon warm water and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Stir into one bowl of cake batter. Spoon light and dark batters alternately into prepare cake pan(s). Using a thin spatula, cut through batter several times (without touching bottom of pan) for a marbled effect. Bake as directed above. For Cupcakes: Line 36 medium muffin cups with paper baking cups. Fill cups about one-half full. Bake 20 minutes or until tested done.

[CnD] french bread
French Bread Recipe is an adaptation of one found in some forgotten King Arthur cookbook. 2 cups warm water 2 pkgs active dry yeast ( I use 2 tsps) 2 tsps salt 2 tbsps sugar 5 to 6 cups all purpose flour 1. Sprinkle yeast over the water in a large bowl. Let rest for 10 minutes. 2. Sprinkle sugar in bowl of yeast and water. Stir until dissolved. 3. Carefully, one cup at a time, add flour. Mix well after each addition. After 2 cups, add salt. At some point, you will need to forsake your spoons and use your hands. 4. When dough is no longer sticking to your hands real bad, place on lightly floured work surface.. 5. Knead until you can't knead anymore and your sweating buckets. lol About 10 minutes of kneading is good, but an expert told me you can't knead too much. When it feels stretchy like elastic and kind of silky, place in an oiled bowl. Turn it over so that all surfaces are coated with oil. (I use extra virgin olive oil) 7. Cover with towel and let rise for about 45 minutes to an hour, until doubled in size. 8. When doubled, separate in to 3 equal balls of dough. I'm not good at this, so i have one to 2 loaves bigger than the other. 9. Using a rolling pen, roll dough out in to 3 8 inch rounds, about a half inch thick or so. Roll up, pinch seams together and shape ends in to cone like shapes. 10. Place a layer of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and place loaves, seam side down on the paper, side by side with a little room in between. With a small, sharp knife, make 3 slits in top of loaf to vent and to make it look authentic. 11. Preheat oven to 350, allowing loaves to rest under a towel while oven gets hot. Using a spray bottle of clean water, sprits loaves liberally, then hurry and put them in your oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. If something doesn't make since, let me know. I just typed this up, just now. lol I'll post more recipes, another day.

Re: [CnD] Digital ovens
My oven is digital; the default setting is 350 degrees F. when you first turn it on, it beeps, but you have to hit the temperature up button one time in order for 350 degrees to show, or else, it only shows a bunch of lines, so my sons say! Then after that, each time you hit the temp up button, it beeps and increases in five degree incriments. The temp down button decreases it by five degrees; it also has a warm cycle. So, no labeling worries there; that has to be the most! Accurate oven I've ever! Had and my baked items come out so nicely, no overly browned bottoms to my cookies.
