Submitted by preacher1120 on April 15, 2009 - 7:25am New mixing method for "whole meal" breads.A facebook friend drew my attention to this new and revolutionary method for mixing "whole meal" breads. I did try it at home, however my wife said it did not have the same effect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMBXJ9I3pJM Enjoy!

Submitted by preacher1120 on September 11, 2008 - 10:59am Just for Fun - the Dangers of BreadBread is Dangerous! (copied from an email sent by a friend, thought I would share with you all!)
In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions:
Source Unknown Submitted by MommaT on August 31, 2008 - 6:30pm kneading - the songHi, Just a light anecdote to brighten your day and perhaps provide some "assistance". :-) I perform all my breadmaking by hand - partly because I don't have a mixer and partly because the meditative aspects of breadmaking are half the reason I bake bread. Tonight, as I mixed Hamelmann's Oatmeal Bread by hand (big hunk of dough, that!) ALONE in the kitchen (sigh!), my mind began to wander as I hit the rhythmic stage of kneading. You see, usually I am accompanied in my (daytime) breadmaking by my 2 year old son, who is a precocious chef. He usually insists on 'helping'. When he is no longer satisfied with his own blob of dough, I have developed a novel method to keep his hands out of the way -- the Kneading Song. I promise you that once you hear this it will be forever stuck in your head as you knead - so beware if you read further! Now he automatically sings it when I'm kneading (and sometimes when we are in the shops - much to the confusion of my fellow shoppers): (to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat) Knead, knead, knead the dough Make it nice and smoooooth Fold it over, push it down And now you're in the groooove (Repeat until kneading is over; or as is usually the case, until you can get the #$!@ song out of your head!) Happy kneading!
MommaT Submitted by Windischgirl on April 28, 2008 - 2:52am Baking HumorOk, one final rant about Switzerland: The Swiss are the ultimate recyclers. During our visit, my 15 yo son accompanied my uncle to the recycling center. He came back with wide eyes: "they have a bin for wine corks, for batteries, even one labeled 'Alt Brot' (old bread)! Wonder what they do with that?" My uncle's neighbor, overhearing, mentions that many farmers use the stale crusts for animal feed. A month later, I come across Rose Levy's pumpernickel recipe, which specifically calls for bread crumbs made from the previous loaf! I didn't have the heart to tell my son... Paula |
