BREAD MACHINE BRIOCHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 C of milk and 1 T of flour in a microwave-safe container. Whisk until smooth. Microwave this liquid paste mixture for 20 seconds on High. Remove and stir. Place back into the microwave for 10-20 seconds or however long it takes to turn the mixture into a thick "gravy" consistency. Let this mixture cool to room temperature. Pour into the bread machine pan.
• Add 3 eggs, 2 T granulated sugar, 1¼ t salt, 12 T chopped butter, 2-3/4 C bread flour, and 2 t instant yeast to the bread maker pan.
• Select the DOUGH cycle and push START. After 2minutes, open the lid of your bread machine. Make sure the paddles are engaged and the dough is gathering into clumps or a ball.
• Check the dough again after 8-10 minutes. If the dough is too slack, add additional flour one tablespoon at a time, letting the dough absorb the flour before adding more. The dough should be thick enough to hold its shape, stick to the sides, then pull away. This dough should be stickier than the average bread dough. But it must be firm enough for the bread machine blades to get traction as they knead the dough.
• During the last 5 minutes of the kneading phase, the dough should be smooth, shiny, and pulling away from the sides. Allow the DOUGH cycle to complete. The dough should be doubled in size. If the ambient temperature is chilly in your kitchen, you may need to allow the dough to rise longer until doubled.
• Gently release the dough from the sides to remove some of the air.
• Cover the bread machine bowl and place it into your refrigerator for 6-24 hours. (You can also transfer the dough to another bowl before placing it into the fridge.) Do not skip this part. If you don't have time for the chill, you might want to make another kind of bread.

ALMOST-FAMOUS ROSEMARY BREAD

Steps:

• Stir the yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer). Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary, the fine salt and 3/4 cup warm water; stir with a wooden spoon (or with the dough hook if using a mixer) until a dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting lightly with flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. (Or knead with the dough hook on medium-high speed, adding a little flour if the dough sticks to the bowl, about 8 minutes.)
• Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until more than doubled, about 2 hours.
• Brush 2 baking sheets with olive oil. Generously flour a work surface; turn the dough out onto the flour and divide into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, sprinkle some flour on the dough, then fold the top and bottom portions into the middle. Fold in the sides to make a free-form square. Use a spatula to turn the dough over, then tuck the corners under to form a ball. Place seam-side down on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, putting 2 balls on each baking sheet. Let stand, uncovered, until more than doubled, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the loaves 10 minutes; brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the kosher salt and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon rosemary. Continue baking until golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve with olive oil seasoned with pepper.

ARTISAN BREAD - EASY HOMEMADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients together. Use a whisk to make sure they are mixed well. Place into the bowl of your stand mixer set up with the dough hook.**you can also mix this by hand using a wooden spoon or your hands.
• Add the water and stir into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. It should start to pull away from the bowl. The dough will look wet and sticky.
• Place the dough in a large bowl that has been lightly oiled. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in a warm part of your kitchen away from any drafts.
• Allow the dough to rise for at least 12 hours up to a maximum of 16 hours. 12-14 hours is the sweet spot. Bubbles wil form in the dough and it may drop a bit after rising.
• Lightly flour the countertop and dump out the bread dough on the floured surface.
• Add flour into the dough as you work the dough around. This will take about 5 minutes. Keep adding flour until the dough isn't sticky. Form the dough into a ball.
• Flatten the dough out to make a rectangle.
• Fold over 1/3 of the dough to the center (you're folding the widest part first as shown in the pictures). Fold over the other side of the rectangle overlapping the first fold of the dough.
• Continue the folding process by folding the bottom 1/3 of the dough upwards towards the center of the little package you've made. then fold the top part of the dough down overlapping the fold you just made.Turn the dough over (seam side down) and make a disc or oblong loaf depending upon what shape bread you want to make.
• Place the finished dough on parchment paper (sprinkle cornmeal or flour on the parchment before placing the dough)
• Cover the dough with a bowl or damp tea towel for the second rise. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the cloche or dutch oven in the oven on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. and place the covered dough on top of the stove to finishing rising for about 30 minutes.
• When the dough has fully risen, using a very sharp knife cut a design into the top of the bread. Make deep cuts.Brush the entire bread dough with water.
• Very Carefully remove the cloche from the oven (close the oven door).
• Place the parchment paper with the dough onto the cloche, cover with the lid and place back into the oven.It's okay to bake the bread on the parchment paper.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 450 degrees F.
• Remove the lid from the cloche or dutch oven, leaving the bread in the oven. Turn off the oven. Allow bread to stay in the oven for about 10 minutes. Less if it looks like its getting too dark. This will finish the baking process, crisping up the outside of the crust bread adding more color to the crust.Dark Bread is okay, it looks more rustic!
• Let the bread rest for at least an hour before cutting. Cutting the bread too soon will release the steam (water) and toughen the bread.

NO-SALT BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• This recipe is for a two-pound loaf. Use the basic/white cycle with the medium crust setting.
• Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which order to add ingredients to your bread machine. I use a Zojirushi bread machine, so I add the liquids first.
• Check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. It should be a smooth, round ball.
• If the dough is too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until it looks right. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks right.

JALAPENO CHEESE BREAD RECIPE FOR BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except for the sliced jalapenos and shredded cheese into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Usually, this means adding the wet ingredients, then the flour (spread out), with the dry ingredients on top.
• Set the bread machine to the "white" loaf setting.
• Select the light crust setting.
• Select the 1.5 lb loaf size.
• Turn on the bread machine.
• When the machine beeps during the kneading cycle, it's time to add your cheese and jalapenos! (Reserve a small amount of the shredded cheddar and sliced jalapenos to add to the top of the loaf later). This is a great time to check the consistency of the dough. Please see the notes above for more information, but basically, you don't want the dough to be too wet or too dry. I usually add a light dusting of flour at this point, but you may not have to.
• Keep an eye on your dough during the proofing cycle. This recipe is very active and alive compared to many bread machine recipes. You will likely need to punch the dough down once or twice during this period. Do not twist or mess with the dough too much. Simply punch it down lightly to release the trapped gasses.
• Remove the paddle(s) if applicable.
• When the baking cycle begins, add the reserved sliced jalapenos and shredded cheese to the top of the loaf.
• When the bread machine beeps, it's done! Carefully remove the loaf pan using an oven mitt, by twisting and lifting upwards. Remove the loaf and allow it to cool on a cooling rack.
• Once cooled, slice the bread using a bread knife, and enjoy with fresh cultured butter, or make a grilled cheese!
