A good friend gave me this recipe a couple of weeks ago. I got my mixer fixed finally (what a nightmare), and this was the first thing I made with it. It is so delicious. The whole family raved about it. I made it for the second time tonight. The pictures are actually mine for the first time!
Put in bowl: 1 TBsp yeast
1/4C warm water
About 3/4 T sugar
Wait until frothy.
Add: 1/2 C mashed potatoes (leftovers or instant)
1 C warm milk
1/4 C bean puree (white beans)
1/4 C Sugar
1 tsp Salt
Add: 1 egg
1 c white flour (from 2 c)
1 C wheat flour (from 2 c)
1/4 C Vital wheat gluten
1 T honey, optional
Add: The rest of the flour (1 c each) or more until it doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl.
Knead for about 6 minutes. Let rise for an hour. Put into pans or shape into rolls. Let rise another hour or until doubled. Bake at 350/375 for about 20/25 minutes. (Jessica covers her after about 17 minutes so it doesn't get too brown.)
A couple of other notes (from Jessica).....
You do not need the gluten if you are doing all white flour.
On the second rise time, I set the microwave to 2 minutes and run it empty....then put my loaf pans into the warmed microwave to rise there. **I've never heard of this before. I tried it and it worked great. Didn't take long to rise at all.**
Glad you got your mixer fixed! Yay!! Bean puree - really??
ReplyDeleteYou can just use oil if you don't like the beans.
ReplyDeleteI am honored to have made this blog!!
I made this bread today! I used applesauce instead of bean puree. (Wondering how you come up with 1/4 cup of bean puree without too much hassle?) It turned out great! So far it's a hit.
