Silverose Network Technologies — Recipes

Equipment

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Bread maker — our current model. We started with a 1.5–2 lb model, which made one loaf with leftover dough that I never used. Upgraded to a 3 lb — two loaves, no remainders. :-) Then upgraded again to this one, which is substantially quieter than the previous model. If you have a 1–2 lb maker, cut the recipe in half.
• Two 9-inch bread pans, two cookie sheets, or some combination
• Avocado oil cooking spray (cooking spray rankings)

Ingredients

• 6 cups flour
• 1¼ cups water
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ⅔ cup olive oil or avocado oil (other oil choices)
• 14 seconds of honey — turn the bottle upside down and squeeze for 14 seconds. It's probably around ⅔ cup; I've honestly never measured. :-) Link on the left

Instructions

1. Fill the bread maker pan with hot water and let it sit until the outside is hot to the touch, then discard the water.
2. Add the hot water (1½ cups) to the pan.
3. Add the milk.
4. Add the sugar.
5. Add the flour.
6. Add the salt and yeast.
7. Add the oil.
8. Add the honey.
9. Set the bread maker to the Dough cycle and press Start.
10. After the machine begins its first spin cycle, scrape any dough stuck to the sides back into the dough ball in the center. If you're baking in the bread maker, you're done here. :-)
11. Our bread maker runs a mix→rise→mix→rise sequence totaling 1 hour 40 minutes. At the 1 hour 35 minute mark, preheat the oven to 350°F to give the dough a warm environment for its final rise.
12. When the cycle finishes, remove the dough, divide it in half, and press each half firmly into a greased bread pan — or tear it into roll-sized chunks and place them on a greased cookie sheet.
13. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set on top of the warm oven for 1 hour to rise.
14. Bake at 350°F: 35 minutes for loaves, 25 minutes for rolls.
