Re: [CnD] Question about the bread machine.

Hi, Jennifer. Here's a link to a page with a keto bread recipe. She gives detailed step-by-step instructions on how to make it, both in the oven and with a bread machine. There are also instructions on choices of flour and dairy- vs. dairy-free methods. https://www.fatforweightloss.com.au/keto-bre

Re: [CnD] Baking bread by hand

Good Afternoon. I do enjoy baking bread by hand as well. I have dough hooks, but if I need stress relief, I knead by hand. I stir the yeast and sugar together in the warm water using a wire whisk. The ones coated in silicon are great! You can smell it and hear it fizz a little when it is mixed

I agree, baking bread is really enjoyable. I don’t make bread as much as I bake rolls. I guess I do all right because whenever we’re having Thanksgiving dinner or whatever I’m always the one that they called to make the rolls for the meal. One thing about it, I really can’t say are use a given

I bake my bread all the time.  I didn't used to, as I wasn't sure how to do needing, but I can now.  The best combination I've found is to use two seeded flours, or half brown and half white flour with sunflower and pumpkin seeds.  A lot of the making is just waiting for it to rise, and I use f

Re: [CnD] Boiling Sugar

I don't think I can find Stevia.  I looked for it on my supermarket's website, and I couldn't get hold of it.  How do you pour the hot liquid into jars safely, especially as the jam/marmalade has to be at a temperature way above boiling point. On 23/07/2020 18:53, Marilyn Pennington via Cookin
