Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.

Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Bean Biscuits

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter or soft margarine
1 cup cooked kidney beans wt / red
2/3 cup 2% milk

Preparation

Revised after testing Feb 94. Used 1 1/2 cup flour NOT 2 1/2 cups as
printed in the book. The 1 cup beans probably replaced 1 cup flour
in the original recipe.

Stir dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter until
mixture resembles crumbs.

In food processor or blender, puree beans with milk. OR mash beans
and stir in milk. Stir into dry ingredients all at once to make
light soft dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured board, sprinkle with flour and knead
about 20 seconds.

Shape biscuits by rolling, patting and cutting or divide dough into 16
pieces and shape by hand.

Bake at 400 F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
