I miss seeing the grand kids while we are here, but we do have good daily communication lines and pictures.<br /><br />If this is Tuesday (it is) we are in Key West. ;) We are just back from lunch ashore. Pictures will follow another day when I can get them formatted and some text written. <br /><br />Best,<br /><br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-31482865271006574702010-05-11T09:44:11.524-04:002010-05-11T09:44:11.524-04:00Your flowers are so pretty.

Granny, I take the bread o...Good morning, friends,<br /><br />Granny, I take the bread out of the bread machine after the first mixing/kneading cycle for a few different reasons: <br /><br />1. I generally make big batches of bread so I can make multiple loaves. If I let it rise in the machine, it would probably climb out, attack me, and mess up the inside of the bread machine before the end of the first rise.<br /><br />2. Bread has a personality that precludes using preset times of most bread machine cycles and I don't stand in the kitchen and watch the rise. I often go upstairs to my computer, or out to the garden, or walk the dog.... I set a kitchen timer and take it with me so I'll return to take a look at how the bread is rising. That rising time varies so when I return I either put it in pans to start the second rise or I look at the rising bread and decide to let it rise a little longer. On the other hand, if the bread were still in the machine and I was 3 minutes late, it would start baking in the machine too soon. <br /><br />3. I often make multiple batches so have the first batch rising while the second is mixing/kneading in the machine.<br /><br />I'm sure there are other reasons that I'll think of by the time I hit the "publish" button. :) <br /><br />What it all comes down to is that it is a matter of choice. If it works for you to let the bread rise in the machine, there is no reason not to do it that way. The bread will still be great. :)<br /><br />I am getting all of these recipes together with the idea of writing a book about creative bread making for my children, grandchildren, and anyone else who cares. <br /><br />River, do you have a special store where you can buy the products you need to cook with ingredients safe for you or do you have to order some things on the Internet? <br /><br />I agree, Jo, anything with "honey" in it is appealing to me, too. <br /><br />Thank you, ladies, for stopping by.<br /><br />Best,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-80972477443920468542010-05-11T00:57:59.589-04:002010-05-11T00:57:59.589-04:00I've GOT to find some corn-free honey so I can...I've GOT to find some corn-free honey so I can try this.

I was wondering why you take the dough out of the bread machine ,before the first rise? I usually let mine rise in the machine,take it out then knead and set aside to rise again.grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293514367764396439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-325218645972102612010-05-10T15:39:44.874-04:002010-05-10T15:39:44.874-04:00I would have to admit that anything containing eve...I would have to admit that anything containing even just the word 'Honey' would be pretty high on my list of likes.<br /><br />I am trying hard to catch on on my visits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204654300524316224noreply@blogger.com
