1 hour bread recipe!

 I found a 1 hour bread recipe--from start to finish. It is from Pantry Secrets.

This is a  recipe that you can make 200+ things with it using the same dough recipe. I love this recipe to use to make rolls, hamburger buns, hot dog buns, pizza crust, calzones, soup bowl rolls..etc. It is lacking a little in flavor so I prefer my bread for actual bread but it is ok. We didn't like the bread sticks--but it worked out well to make cinnamon sticks or cinnamon rolls/orange rolls with it (probably because of the sugar!). It also worked out great for calzones if you have a lot of stuff inside to make it taste good.
Here is the recipe.. My sister sent me a video with various demonstrations of how to make various things using the bread dough. Anyway  here it is..If you need to make rolls in a hurry--they rise fast and are really quite nice to eat.--And now --making hamburger buns is so easy--Great recipe!
 


..From cinnamon rolls, and calzones to bread, breadsticks and a stuffed crust pizza..Its amazing.


10 1/2 cups whole wheat flour or white bread flour (bread flour has more gluten in it. If using all purpose add vital wheat gluten (1-2 TBSP for each cup of all purpose flour) (i like using half WW and half white)

1 TBSP salt
3 TBSP SAF Instant yeast
 1/2 cup sugar (or honey)
3 TBSP liquid Lecithin (or granules work fine too)
4 cups hot water


Mix all ingredients together for 1 minutes. Check consistency and see how it looks. If dough is not sticking consistently to sides of bowl yet dough is sticky--Then mix for another 5 minutes to knead it. Do not add any flour after this step..
pull dough out and shape in loaves.  (You can make pizza crust with this, hamburger buns, regular buns--etc. etc. )
 Preheat your oven now  to 350 degrees
Let rise for 25 minutes
Bake for 25 min

Agave Nectar--my favorite sweetener

I love Agave Nectar.

I had no idea it existed until about a year ago I was disgusted by all the syrups with the high fructose corn syrup. If it wasn't that it was the price. I was at SPROUTS. My favorite store and saw AGAVE NECTAR next to the syrups. I was intrigued and asked about it. The lady working at Sprouts told me she thought I would like it..that it sweetens everything. I decided to try it and now by it by the case from Amazon. They have it at Costco as well but I like buying it in more of a bulk so I only have to buy it every 6 months. This stuff is great. It doesn't crystallize like honey. It is not as sweet as honey..and is thinner than honey. You can keep it in your cupboard and not have to worry about it going bad..and it can be used for pancakes, or on your bread with butter. Anyway--its the best thing out there for a sweetener..That is all natural. Try it. I love it! I got the AMBER color one (darker) and it looks just like maple syrup--and I think it tastes very similar. The light color is fine too..The dark just looks great on pancakes!


here is what wikipedia has to say about it
