Coconut Sultana Honey Loaf Abm Bread Machine Recipes

COCONUT, SULTANA & HONEY LOAF (ABM / BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Weigh the main ingredients into the bread machine and select Raisin or Speciality Bread and preferred Crust type - I chose normal crust which worked nicely - and start the machine.
• At the beep, if you trust your machine not to mash up the fruit like mine always does, add the sultanas with just an incredibly light dusting of cardamom (or omit it if you don't like cardamom). For my machine I ignored the beep and waited until just over 3 minutes remained of the 2nd knead cycle and that worked great - guess it depends how squishy your sultanas are :).
• Cool on a wire rack.
• Makes a loaf just under 1 1/2 Lb which you won't be able to stop eating!
• Cooking time listed is the baking time for my machine.

WALNUT AND SULTANA BREAD MACHINE BREAD

Steps:

• Lightly crush the walnuts into sultana sized pieces using a pestle and mortar. If you don't have a pestle and mortar, wrap the walnuts in a tea towel and crush using the base of the walnut oil bottle.
• Insert the kneading blade into the bread pan so that it faces north-south dividing the pan into left and right halves.
• Add the yeast to the far left of the bread pan and cover with the flour. Leave the right of the pan as empty as possible. Add the sugar and milk powder on top of the flour.
• Add the oil to the right of the bread pan.
• Insert the bread pan in the machine.
• Dissolve the salt in the water and add both slowly to the right of the bread pan. The aim is to keep the sugar and milk powder dry.
• Add the sultanas and walnuts to the nut dispenser.
• Set a basic raisin loaf, medium size, medium crust.

EVERYDAY BREAD (FRENCH BREAD) ABM BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Add ingredients in the order listed to your bread machine, or follow the manufacturers directions for adding ingredients.
• Choose the basic cycle with regular or light crust. Rapid cycle will work, too.

MOLASSES, SULTANA AND OATMEAL BREAD (ABM / BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Weigh the main ingredients into the bread machine drum in the order listed.
• The ginger is optional and to taste (I love ginger so I'm a bit generous with it) but if leaving it out then it's probably best to leave the ground cloves out too.
• Into a small bowl weigh approx 100g sultanas and mix in a teaspoon of ground ginger to coat the sultanas well (if using ginger).
• Start machine on 'speciality' or 'raisin bread' cycle with normal crust setting.
• At about 5 minutes before the end of the second kneading or at the beep (if you trust your machine not to mash up the sultanas - mine is lethal to them so I ignore the beep and wait until only a few minutes remain of the second kneading) add the sultanas mixed together with the ground ginger.
• Measurements: I find blackstrap molasses is almost impossible to measure using a spoon as it's so incredibly thick and gooey and most of it stays on the spoon so I just pour it out of the jar - which can make for some rather hit and miss measurements. Taste-wise, I liked the strength of flavour best when I suceeded in pouring in 62g of molasses and used 103g of sultanas.
• Basically I think of this as cake without the all the fat and the calories :).
• Bakes a good-sized 1 1/2 Lb Loaf.
• Addition, tried December 2005 --
• I remebered that I had some crystallized ginger (a.k.a. candied ginger) in the cupboard and added 32g chopped up to about the size of the sultanas which I mixed with the fruit and ground ginger for adding at the beep. The quantity was probably a bit excessive and it does make the loaf a bit trickier to slice as ginger can be quite 'tough', but an idea to bear in mind if you have some in the cupboard and fancy it :).

BREAD MACHINE COCONUT BREAD

Steps:

• Measure into your bread machine as per it's instructions.
• Cook on the sweet, white timer (4 hours on mine).
• This makes a 1 1/2 lb loaf.

SULTANA & GINGER LOAF (BREAD MACHINE ABM)

Steps:

• Weigh the loaf ingredients into the bread machine baking pan in the order listed. The vitamin C is optional and is added only to serve as a 'Flour Improver'.
• Replace pan into bread machine and select a program suitable for a white fruit/raisin bread.
• At the beep, (usually about five minutes before the end of the final kneading,) add the sultanas/ginger.
• When finished, place on a wire rack to cool and immediately brush top and sides with a beaten sugar/milk glaze and sprinkle lots of oatmeal and ground ginger. Although optional, the glaze at the least is recommended as it will seal the crust helps it to keep fresher for longer.
• 12 slices is approximate as it depends how thick you like the slices :) Makes a 1 1/2Lb Loaf.
• Just a thought -- -- the quantity of caraway seeds is a 'conservative' guess btw as I poured some into my hand and added what I felt looked about right. It's important ('specially for me!) to go easy on the caraway seeds though as they have such a strong flavour.

COCONUT LOAF

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in coconut.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

QUICK NAAN (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• If the yogurt is cold, heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
• Add ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
• After 5 minutes, check your dough (see NOTE).
• After another 5 minutes (10 minutes total in the machine) take the dough out and divide into 8 pieces. Turn each piece in flour, cover, and allow to rest on a tray for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat your oven to 500°F.
• If you have a pizza stone, allow it to heat in the oven, otherwise, put heat-resistent metal cooling racks in the oven. Baking sheets do not work very well.
• With your fingers, flatten each piece of dough into a tear-drop shape, 1/2 inch thick.
• Moisten hands, then turn naan briefly in your hands to moisten it, and place it on the stone/rack; bake for about 4 minutes.
• Brown tops using the broiler.
• Wrap naan in a towel while you make the rest.
• NOTE: Dough should be somewhat sticky, and you might get a small amount stuck to your finger. It shouldn't stick to the pan at all. If it isn't sticky enough, add 1 T water. If it sticks to the pan, add 1 T flour, till you reach the correct consistency.
