I lost my good cookbook, with my favorite recipe in it. So, I'm asking for your favorite ones!:tay:

This is the only, the easiest, the best tasting bread ever! You are not in the kitchen with the bread except a few minutes in the morning, evening, next morning and then shape and bake. Don't be fooled...it's not a sour sourdough bread...it's on the sweet side....you can put less sugar or honey and create a dill or garlic, more sugar and it's a sweet roll only limited by your imagination.

Oh, I love breads - what kind of breads are you looking for - more whole grains, or sandwich breads, or with added ingredients, or plainer?
This is one we love, found it on recipezaar.com

Flax Seed Bread (Bread Machine) Recipe #143230
I saw flax seed at the grocery and bought it without any idea of what to do with it. I found out that flax seed contributes fiber and omega-3s to the diet. Even better, it made this delightful, speckled loaf with a nutty flavor. Wonderful as is or toasted.

3¼ hours | 15 min prep

1 1 1/2 lb. loaf

* 1/4 ounce active dry yeast (1 envelope)
* 1 1/4 cups warm water
* 3 tablespoons honey
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup flax seed meal (ground flax seed)
* 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 1/2 cups bread flour
* cornmeal

1. Place ingredients in your bread machine as directed by your manufacturer.
2. Set to dough cycle. After initial rise, remove, shape in a large round loaf (or whatever you like), let rise again on a cornmeal dusted baking pan.
3. Preheat oven to 400 deg. If desired, brush loaf with an egg wash (one egg beaten with 1 tbl. cold water). Slash loaf with sharp knife. Place in oven. After 15 min., reduce temperature to 350 deg.
4. Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until loaf is done - an instant thermometer should read 205 deg.
5. Turn onto cooling rack and let cool.
6. Note: If using flax seed, 2/3 cups seed will grind into 1 cup flax meal.
7. Note2: If using egg wash, you may also sprinkle loaf with whole flax or poppy seeds.

Are you looking for a white bread, whole wheat, a slightly sweet bread, something savory? There are so many breads, and if you could give us an idea of what you are interested in, it would be easier to suggest something. Also, will you be using a bread machine, a stand mixer, making by hand, or does it not matter? I bake bread a lot, at least once a week, and make a lot of different kinds, and could easily take up pages and pages of space listing them!

This sounds yumm-o !! I'm gonna have to try this. It would be like making a Friendship Bread only not getting a 'sweet' loaf out of it.

Here's the bread recipe I've been using. One of the ladies that I sometimes bake for is lactose intolerant. It has a nice simple, slightly sweet taste and a good texture. It's wonderful toasted for breakfast.
I run mine in the bread machine for the dough cycle (wet ingredients first, then dry, then a crater in the flour for the yeast).


AMISH WHITE BREAD (makes 2 loaves)

2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2/3 cup white sugar (I cut to 1/2 cup)
1-1/2 Tbs yeast
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour (I use all-purpose)

In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof till yeast resembles a creamy foam. Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface till smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl and turn dough to coat (with oil). Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise till doubled in bulk, about 10 hour.
Punch down dough. Knead for a few minutes and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into 2 well-oiled 9"x5" loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or till dough has risen 1 inch above pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

I hate typing recipes....I use the recipes in the "Tassajara Bread Book"...Hasn't failed me yet. Do a Google search on it. Today, I'm working on a sour-dough French bread and pre-cooked pizza crusts from the sour dough recipe in it. My wheat bread in my avatar is based on a recipe from it.

This is a terrific sourdough starter, http://www.recipezaar.com/Wild-Yeast-Sourdough-Starter-116648 . I really like a lot of the recipes I find on Recipezaar, plus it's easy to save them in a cookbook.
