Recipe for the Day

[KevDen2005]

knead for 6-10 min on a greased surface until a smooth dough is formed
set aside to rise for 1-2 hrs punch down
form into a loaf i used a 9 1/2x4 1/2 pan let rise until the dough is about an inch over the pan bake for 35-45 min until is sounds hollow or reaches 190 deg let cool before slicing

I may have missed or am misunderstanding it...

Are you saying bake the loaf for 35-45 min at 190 degrees?

Thanks, the bread looks amazing and I really want to try and make this one

I tried to make the bread this weekend but even with rapid rise yeast and using a warm rise, I couldn't get it to rise as well as the bread in the pic. It was still tastey, just a little heavy. I plan to use fresh bread flour the next time I try this.


So, I mentioned "fresh" bread flour; why? Welllll, I made made a couple more batches of Jerrymrc's Dinner Rolls this weekend too. I used some bread flour I found in the back of my pantry (already went through 1 - 5lb bag of bread flour making these delicious rolls). The bread flour I found had a "best if used by" date of a year ago. Trust me, it makes a difference unless you're protecting it in mylar or something. While the rolls are still good, these too (like the bread) didn't rise well this time and didn't smooth out and were (are) heavy. Not nearly as good my 2 previous double batches I've made.

Thread seems to have stalled and yes it is spelled wrong.

Makes One 2-pound loaf
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
• 3 large, ripe bananas
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F, and butter a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan.
2. Peel the bananas and in a large mixing bowl, mash them well with a fork. Stir in the sugar and then the egg, mixing thoroughly. Stir in the butter.
3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet, mixing just until you no longer see any streaks of raw flour. (Do not over-mix, or the banana bread will be tough!)
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean and the bread is just starting to come away from the sides of the pan.
5. Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, and then turn out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Buiscuits yup still spelled wrong
Ingredients double or triple this
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup milk
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
3.Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
4.Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
