My fiance loves more "authentic" breads. The darker and heartier, the better. He prefers breads without white flour. I tried a rye bread recipe that turned out just okay and was hoping someone might have a favorite bread recipe I could use? It doesn't have to be rye. It could be any sort that is more rustic.
Thank you! |

Candy, I agree with you about the bread shape & that irritating hole! We recently acquired a nice new oven, so I want to get back to baking the old-fashioned way, but I like the idea of using the bread machine as you do. I plan to try your recipe over the weekend. Thanks again for posting it! |

Mara,
My bread machine has a dough setting, it beeps and turns off when it is finished with the mixing and the first rise. I actually NEVER bake bread in my machine, I don't like the shape of the loaf or the hole in the bottom from the paddle! LOL!!
Grace,
I looked into all that but the logistics of hauling all my "stuff" to someone else's kitchen would be a logistical nightmare, I was baking four days a week to supply the two Farmers Markets I was attending. DH and I are actually thinking of building a commercial kitchen on our property towards the end of the year, we'll see....

My goodness, Candy, your bread recipe sounds wonderful. I might give it a try. I have a bread machine, too, but I'm uncertain of how you interrupt it to finish the rise and bake phases the old-fashioned way. I'll have to see if the instruction booklet has anything about that. |

Grace, that's interesting. I plan to ask about that here in our county. I'll bet a lot of women would use a service like that to market their cooking. Thank you. |

Did you know that some schools, bakeries and resturants will time share their kitchen with smaller bakeres. Also, a few smaller bakers can go into a space to produce their goodies without having to have all the equipment and space. I hate to see someone not getting to live their dreams because our government buries us with stupid rules. I would much rather eat something out of your kitchen then a big factory.....
Recipe sure looks good - baking bread tonight and will put this in my recipe box. Thanks so much for sharing Candy.

Weelll...long story short, a couple of years ago the local Health Dept guy said that it was okay to bake bread, cookies, stuff that didn't need to be refrigerated and sell at the Farmers Market. I did and was doing GREAT, had a big following, selling at two different markets! THEN, one day (after I quit my regular job to bake full time) some other guys came around and said "We're really sorry but there was a misunderstanding, you can't really bake at home, must be in a commercial kitchen." So there went my promising career as a baker! :( I wish I could afford to build a commercial kitchen on our property but alas!

Dark Whole Grain Bread
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup raw wheat germ
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour
3 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoon bread machine yeast
I use my bread machine to mix, knead and do the first rise. I then take the dough out, shape and put it in a greased 9x5x3-inch bread pan for the second rise. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until done, covering bread with a loose tent of foil halfway through to prevent over-browning. Remove from pan immediately and let cool.

"Healthy Breads in 5 Minutes a Day" is a great book for hearty breads. I would reccomend their 10 grain bread. Yummy!
