Does anyone have EASY recipes for homemade bread and pasta? I would like to use whole wheat flour or half whole wheat and half regular. I would also like to be able to add things like chopped spinach to the pasta and fruit or nuts to the bread. But, I need very BASIC recipes, as I am new to making things like this. Anyone??
Thanks!!
Cheers,
Heather |

yes, I have a new england bread recipe that is SO EASY and so good.
5 to 6 cups flour
2 tablespoons dry yeast (2 packages)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups hot water
a cake pan of hot water
mix 3 cups flour w/ yeast, sugar, & salt. Pour in hot water & beat about 100 strokes or 3 min. w/ mixer.
stir in remaining flour until dough loses it's stickiness. Turn on flour surface & knead about 6 to 8 minutes.
place dough in a greased bowl & cover for 15 min. w/ a damp cover over it & away from dreafts.
punch down dough & divide into 2 peices. shape into 2 round loaves and place on greased cookie sheet. cut an X 1/2 inch deep in each loaf w/ a wet sharp knife & lightly rub w/ a bit of flour on top of loaves.
place a cake pan of hot water on lower shelf of oven & put bread in COLD oven, NOW heat oven to 400 & bake for about 40 to 50 min. until golden brown and /or bottom sounds hollow.
It IS very easy & fun making this bread. Good luck
Now for the pasta, I got a recipe from hillbilly housewife site. I'll give you the website, you'll find this & MANY more.
