Three note-worthy bread machine recipes this past week that I’ve mentioned elsewhere here on H.O, but was encouraged to cross-post.
This cinnamon roll dough recipe that started the ball rolling, when my old bread machine would not work Christmas Eve. After I soldiered on and used mixer, hand-kneading and lots of patience for rise times some extra-sweet cinnamon rolls came out of the oven. We’ve now decided that half the filling and half the frosting would be a better sweetness level for us. But the dough portion is great and technique description was helpful to me.
The first loaf in the new Hamilton Beach 29882 machine (found from a local seller at half price) was Buttermilk Oatmeal. I keep SACO buttermilk powder on hand (refrigerated) for other recipes so used water as the liquid and added the powder with the flour. Very pleased with the result . Mine looks just like the picture on the recipe link, just not so evenly sliced. And we especially enjoyed it toasted for sandwiches.
Prompted by a question from my husband “can it make beer bread” (his favorite) - I tried that yesterday, using the Quick Bread setting, medium crust. The answer is YES – same ingredients as my usual oven Beer Bread version, just skipped the melted butter on top. Photo over on the Dec WAYB discussion.
