CINNAMON-RAISIN BREAD

10 servings

5 1/2 cups unbleached or bread flour
2 teaspoons bulk active dry yeast
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons butter or margarine, melted
2 packages active dry yeast, or
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Stir 2 cups of flour and the yeast together in a large mixing bowl. Heat the milk, water, 1/4 cup sugar, oil and salt in a saucepan over very low heat until very warm, (120-130 degrees F.). Ad the liquid mixture to the flour-yeast mixture. Beat, with an electric mixer at medium speed, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Blend in the egg and then stir in the raisins. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough, (It will be slightly sticky and light in weight). Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface, adding flour if needed as you knead the dough, and knead until smooth and satiny about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes. Combine the 1 cup of sugar and the cinnamon, then set aside. Punch the dough down and divide in half. Roll out one half, on the floured surface, to a 14 X 7-inch rectangle. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Beginning at the narrow end, roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Press the edges to seal and fold the ends under. Place in a greased 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Repeat for the second half. Brush the tops of the loaves with the remaining butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from the pans immediately and cool on wire racks.

1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 cup butter, cold


COMBINE MILK, first amount of butter, sugar and salt in a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove from the heat and let stand to room temperature.

DANISH PASTRY

12 servings

4 to 6 cups flour
2 packages yeast, dry or 1 ounce fresh yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, whole or 6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups cold milk
2 cups butter, firm, not not ice cold


When making Danish pastry it is important to keep the dough very cold. In shaping small pastries, it is sometimes necessary to re-chill partially shaped dough until it is firm enough for the job to be completed. When you first make the pastry, be careful to follow all the rules. Don't make it in the summertime unless your kitchen is air conditioned. After you gain experience you may attempt short cuts such as rolling out and folding the dough twice in succession without re-chilling. Another way of shortening the process is by placing the dough in the freezer between rollings. Usually 10 minutes in the freezer is suffiecient. When you use this short cut, be careful not to freeze the dough solid. The shaped pastries can also be chilled in the freezer. They can even be baked frozen if extra baking time is allowed. Any unbaked yeast pastries, however, should never be kept frozen for more than a week or so; and it is preferable to bake anish pastry within a day or two after it has been shaped.

Place 4 cups flour in large bowl. Reserve remaining flour for rolling. Make a well in center of bowl.

If dry yeast is used, see directions on package. If fresh yeast is used, cream it with sugar and salt to make a syrup. Add egg yolks or whole eggs, grated orange rind, ground cardamom seeds, and vanilla.

Pour yeast mixture into well. Add one cup milk and 1/4 cup butter cut into pieces. Mix with finger tips, adding more milk if necessary to make a medium-soft dough. Knead dough in bowl for 5 minutes, or until it is smooth but not elastic. Flour it and let rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

While dough is resting, form remaining butter into a flattened brick. Using some of the reserved flour on wax paper or pastry cloth, roll out butter into a square about 1/3 inch thick. Use plenty of flour under and on top of butter to keep it from sticking. Loosen it frequently as you rol. Cut the square in 2 pieces. Place in refrigerator between sheets of wax paper.

Roll out dough on well-floured cloth to make a rectangle 3 times longer than wide and about 1/3 inch thick. Brush excess flour from dough. Place a piece of butter in center. Fold one end of dough over butter. Place remaining butter on top. Fold second end over the butter. Press edges together.

Turn dough, changing its position so that the short ends are parallel with the edge of table nearest you. Roll out on well-floured cloth, using a firm, even motion to spread butter together with dough. Try to work quickly, but check frequently underneat the dough to be sure it isn't sticking. Roll out a rectangele 3 times longer than wide, about 1/3 inch thick. rush excess flour from surface. Fold both ends of dough to meet in center. Press edges together, then fold in half as if closing a book, which will make 4 layers of dough. Flour dough. Place on a cooky sheet. Cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour.

Repeat rolling and folding dough 3 more times, chilling it 20 minutes between rollings. Be sure to change position of dough each time so that the short ends of dough are parallel with the edge of the table nearest you when you start rolling.

After the final folding, chill dough at least 3 hours before shaping and baking.

FOOD PROCESSOR WALNUT BREAD

1 servings

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup warm water, (105F-to-115F)
3 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, walnut
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces, toasted
FOR GLAZE, COMBINE
1 egg, frothed with fork
1/2 teaspoon salt


STIR YEAST AND SUGAR into warm water; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Put both flours, salt and oil into food processor work bowl fitted with metal blade. Turn processor on to combine mixture. With processor running, slowly add yeast mixture. Mix until dough cleans sides of bowl. If dough is too sticky, add more flour by the tablespoon, working it in before adding more. If dough is too dry and crumbly, add more water by the teaspoon, working it in before adding more. Once desired consistency is reached, process dough until well kneaded, uniformly supple and elastic, about 40 seconds. Add walnut pieces and process for 10 seconds. Remove blade. Then remove dough from bowl and press all loose walnuts into it. Transfer dough to large plastic bag, squeeze out air and seal at top. Place dough in bowl.

FRANCES COOK'S BREAD & ROLLS

24 servings

3/4 cup milk
1 each fresh cake yeast
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 each egg
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup lukewarm water


Scald milk and pour over sugar, shortening, & salt. Let it cool to lukewarm while softening yeast in a small bowl with the warm water. When soft, add the egg and beat together slightly. Pour the yeast/egg mixture into the milk mixture and stir them together. The flour may be sifted or poured into the liquid. With a large spoon, stir until flour/milk is well mixed. You should have a firm, but not stiff dough. Without removing it from the bowl, cover the dough with a plate or towel and set aside to rise until double in bulk (about 2 hrs depending on the temperature in the kitchen). Instead of letting the dough rise at this point you may put it in the refrigerator and use it later, or the next day. Watch to make sure it doesn't spill out of the bowl. If it starts to spill before you're ready to use it, punch it back down. Refrigerated dough is easier to handle but takes longer to rise. BREAD: If you want to make bread, dump the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface and with more flour as needed to keep it from sticking, knead it until springy and easy to handle. This dough does not require a lot of kneading; only enough to make it easy to handle. For 2 medium size loaves cut the dough in half and knead/shape each into loaves and put into greased baking pans. Allow about 2 hours for the dough to double again. Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned on top (if uncertain whether or not bread is done, tip out of pan and see if bottom is browned too). ROLLS: To make rolls, work and knead dough until springy and easily handled. Roll out with a rolling pin and cut with a biscuit cutter and fold over and place on a greased cookie sheet (Parkerhouse rolls), or break dough into small pieces, make into little balls and place 3 in each section of a greased muffin pan (Cloverleaf rolls). SWEET ROLLS: For Christmas bread or sweet rolls, roll out dough as for Parkerhouse rolls, except trying to make an oblong instead of a round. Spread it with raisins and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Dot with butter and roll as for a jelly roll. Slice and place on a greased pan or make into a circle and make slashes through the dough at intervals. Let rise and bake as for loaves. Top with an icing made of confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla or rum flavoring and drizzle over the bread or rolls while hot. Decorate with nuts or fruits. If you want to make a whole wheat bread, use half white and half whole wheat flour, and use brown sugar instead of white. The amounts above will yield 1 large or 2 medium loaves of bread, or 2 dozen large rolls.

GOLDEN RAISIN LOAVES

10 servings

2 cups whole wheat flour, stirred
2 packages active dry yeast, or
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups golden raisins
1 vegetable oil
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons bulk active dry yeast
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter or margarine
2 lg eggs
2 1/2 cups sifted unbleached flour
VANILLA FROSTING
1/4 teaspoon vanilla


NOTE: The amount of flour can vary from 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups depending on Stir 1 3/4 cups of the whole wheat flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Heat the water and butter in a saucepan over low heat to very warm (120-130 degrees F.). Remove from the heat and stir in the buttermilk. Add to the flour-yeast mixture and beat, with an electric mixer on medium speed, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and beat an additional 2 minutes, then stir in the raisins. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour and enough white flour to make a stiff but light dough. (Heaviness indicates too much flour and the bread will not rise correctly.) Let rest for 5 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with the mixing bowl and let rest for 30 minutes. Punch the dough down and divide in half. Let rest 10 minutes, then roll each half to a 12 X 7-inch rectangle. Beginning at the 7-inch side, roll up tightly like a jelly roll and seal the edges. Tuck the ends under to form rounded edges, (the loaf should be about 7 X 3-inches in size). Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with oil and repeat for the second batch of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 25 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on wire racks for 20 minutes. Frost with the vanilla icing if desired. VANILLA ICING: Combine the sugar, vanilla, and milk in a bowl and beat until smooth.

GRASMERE GINGERBREAD

18 servings

1 pound fine oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 pinch allspice
1/2 pound pale muscovado sugar
1/2 pound butter
2 tablespoons Golden syrup


Line a swiss roll or baking tin measuring about 9 x 13 inches with bakewell or greaseproof paper and grease it well. Stir the dry ingredients together. Melt the butter and syrup over low heat, pour on to the dry ingredients and stir well to make a fairly stiff mixture. Spread the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared tin and bake at 350 F (180 C) gas mark 4 for 25-30 minutes. Do not be alarmed by the fact that the mixture will look a little runny when it emerges from the oven; this is normal. Mark the biscuits into fingers or squares while still warm but leave in the tin until completely cold. Don't make the biscuits very big ~ they are chewy and very filling. Good exercise for the jaws and high in calories.

HERBED FOCACCIA

8 servings

1 package dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water, (105-115F)
2 1/3 cups bread flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup light-tasting olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh chives, snipped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes


A small amount of cornmeal gives this focaccia--a flat bread--a perfect texture for improvised open sandwiches. You might start with thinly sliced salami and cheese.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 450F. Fifteen minutes before baking focaccia, put rack in center of oven. If you have 2 ovens, preheat both; otherwise bake focaccias in sequence, one after the other. Generously oil 2 large baking sheets, preferably black steel. Stir yeast and sugar into warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Mix flour, cornmeal and salt in food processor fitted with metal blade (can also be kneaded with mixer dough hook or by hand). Turn on processor. Slowly pour yeast mixture through feed tube. Also pour 2 tablespoons oil through. Process until dough cleans inside of work bowl but is still moist. If it sticks, add a little flour; if it's dry, add a little water. Once dough is moist but not so wet that it sticks to sides of bowl, process until uniformly kneaded, elastic and supple, about 40 seconds. Transfer dough to large plastic food bag, squeeze out air and seal at top, allowing room for dough to expand. Let dough rise in warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down; use immediately or refrigerate overnight. Combine remaining 6 tablespoons oil, garlic and dried herbs. Gently heat until warm (not hot) on stove top or microwave oven. Divide dough in half. Let rest 5 minutes. On floured board, roll each piece into about a 12-inch round. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Prick surface with fork. Brush with oil mixture, including edges. Sprinkle with Kosher salt. Bake, one at a time, until very lightly browned around edges only, about 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake. Check after 2 minutes in oven; prick any air pockets with fork. Brush with any remaining oil, including edges. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and pepper flakes. Can be baked in advance and frozen. To do so, cool completely, freeze and then wrap airtight. Let thaw in wrapping. To reheat, place in cold oven and set at 300F. Bake until hot, about 5-7 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve hot. Yield: 2 12-inch rounds.

HIGHLAND OATCAKES

4 servings

8 ounces oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 ounce lard, or drippings
3 tablespoons hot (or more) water



Sift salt and oatmeal in a roomy bowl. Put on the gridle or a heavy frying pan to heat. Bring the water to the boil with the fat. Pour into a well in the oatmeal. Work into a stiff dough and cut in half. Roll out on a floured board to the size of a dinner plate and about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into quarters or farles.

Test the gridle's heat by holding your hand over it. Lay on one of the quartered rounds. When the farles are ready, the surface stops steaming and begins to look dry and white. Turn them and do the other side. Dry off the oatcakes and lightly brown the edges in a hot oven or under the grill - they should curl up to the fire to prove that you have made your own.
