Got Bread? (Part Two)
Potato Bread
(One of our all time favorites – the basic recipe came with my breadmaker. It’s the only reason I keep instant mashed potato flakes in the house. Makes a 1-1/2 lb loaf.)
1-1/4 cups water
3 TBSP oil
3 TBSP sugar
½ tsp black pepper
2 tsp dried minced onions
½ cup instant mashed potato flakes
3 cups bread flour
2-1/4 tsp yeast
You can reduce or leave out the pepper and/or dried onion if you find it too strong. My family loves it this way though and so I usually leave it as is. This is a great, rich-tasting bread for sandwiches, or to accompany hearty soups and stews.
Please follow the instructions in the booklet for your bread machine for best results. The order in which to add ingredients may vary per manufacturer.
Our Favorite Raisin Bread
Makes a 1 pound loaf – small, but to die for!
2 tsp yeast
2 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP butter
1 egg
1/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup warm milk
2/3 cup raisins
Add ingredients in order that your breadmaker calls for. Add raisins during the raisin/nut cycle if you have that, otherwise with the flour. Personally I’d like more raisins but they seem to adversely affect the rising if you get beyond ¾ of a cup. If you have a crust selection I’d suggest medium crust darkness until you know how brown this one will turn out. Breads with sugar in the ingredients tend to make a darker crust anyway.
This recipe is a combination of 2 that came with my first breadmaker back in ’92 and is a family favorite. It was the first bread I ever baked in a machine. That little machine could only handle a 1 pound loaf, and we liked this recipe so much I just kept making it the same way. My current breadmaker makes up to a 1-1/2 lb loaf and so I’ve never played around with it and don’t know how it would turn out doubled for a larger machine. It is excellent toasted, and when baking will make the whole house smell wonderful - enjoy!
