AWESOME HOMEMADE CRUSTY BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine in the order according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Use the regular bread cycle.

CRUSTY HARD ROLLS

Steps:

• The Starter:
• Mix the starter ingredients together until smooth, cover, and let rest at room temperature overnight.
• Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix and knead them together -- by hand, mixer or bread machine, until you've made a soft, somewhat smooth dough; it should be cohesive, but the surface should still be a bit rough. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 3 hours, gently deflating it and turning it over after 1 hour, and again after 2 hours.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased or floured work surface. Divide it into 12 pieces, shape the pieces into balls, and firm them up by rolling them under your lightly cupped fingers on an unfloured work surface. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until they've doubled in size. Refrigerate them for several hours, or overnight.
• Remove the rolls from the refrigerator, and brush them with a wash made of 1/2 cup water mixed with 1 tablespoon egg white (you won't use up all the wash). Slash a 1/4-inch deep cut across the top of each roll, and bake them in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're a deep golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and cool on a wire rack. For an extra-crisp crust, allow them to cool in the turned-off, door-propped-open oven.
• Yield: 12 rolls.

ORANGE ROLLS (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all dough ingredients in bread machine in order recommended by manufacturer.
• Select DOUGH cycle and press Start.
• In separate bowl combine cinnamon and sugar for filling.
• After dough has finished, turn it out onto lightly floured surface and roll into a 16x24 rectangle.
• Spread dough with butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls.
• Place rolls in lightly greased 9x13 pan.
• Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 30 min).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake rolls for 14-16 minutes (do not overbake!).
• While rolls are baking, mix together frosting ingredients.
• Spread on rolls when they are still warm. (I heat the frosting up in the microwave a little so I can pour it on the rolls instead).

BREAD MACHINE FRENCH BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Add Water to your bread machine first, then add the sugar, salt, flour and yeast. Put it on your dough cycle. Check consistency of dough during cycle as you may need to add a little water or flour depending on your bread maker. When complete, roll dough out to a 12in long loaf of bread and allow to rest on a lightly floured baking sheet covered by a towel for 1 hour. With a knife cut three diagonal slashes across the top of the bread and then glaze. Bake in a preheated oven at 400F/205C for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Allow to cool on wire tray, then enjoy.
