How Wheat Works

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:15:11 +0000

The Wheat Foods Council now has an educational, online program called How Wheat Works. This program teaches consumers about wheat, from the farm to the table. Consumers will learn about the 6 classes of wheat and they will have the option of planting a virtual hard wheat, soft wheat, or durum field. What's more, for each person that completes the program, the Wheat Foods Council will donate 2 pounds of flour to Operation Homefront. Not only will you get to learn more about wheat, you will be helping U.S. troops and their families during their time of need.

Four Loaf White Bread

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:45:59 +0000

It's almost Thanksgiving, do you know what you'll be baking to take to the big family dinner? Four loaf white bread is the most basic, large batch, white bread you can make. The loaves taste just as good cool as they do fresh out of the oven. They also make delicious bread stuffing.

Salted Beer Knots

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:30:10 +0000

It was a typical chilly day, and I could hear all the neighbors cheering for their favorite teams while sitting in their cozy homes. I don't watch sports, but their enthusiasm took me to the kitchen where I created this delicious recipe for salted beer knots.

Orange Tube Pan Bread

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:52:26 +0000

I find that I come up with my best recipes when my kitchen cupboards are down to odds and ends. Orange tube pan bread was made to use up a lone orange that was sitting on the kitchen table. The bread turned out delicious. It's perfect for family dessert and it's still not too sweet for breakfast.

Sally Lunn Muffins

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:56:17 +0000

I love the taste of Sally Lunn bread, but I also love how easy muffins are to make. My Sally Lunn muffins were the perfect answer to my needs. They are great breakfast muffins and can be served with eggs and sausage to make a fantastic country breakfast. For dinner, these muffins go great with a ham steak dinner.

French Rolls

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:06:27 +0000

While I love the traditional breads of France, I've almost always found the recipes too complex and requiring constant misting or the recipes are for large batches. Since many of these breads are made without milk, the shelf life of the bread is 24 hrs. The bread becomes stale by the next day. With my french rolls, petits pains, I kept the tradition of letting the bread dough rise 4 times to develop the flavor, but I took out the misting process and reduced the amount of rolls down to 12 so that they could be eaten in one day. Leftover rolls are toasted in the morning to hide the staleness.

Sunflower Seed Gourmet Bread Mix

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:08:46 +0000

When my schedule gets busy, bread mixes come in handy. Sunflower Seed Gourmet Bread Mix, made by The J.B. Dough company, is so easy to make that my 14-year-ol daughter was able to quickly mix up the dough, set it to rise, and bake it. It was wonderful not having to bake bread for dinner that night.
