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.

Cherry Muffins

 

Ingredients

3 1/3 cup unbleached flour
1 tbsp baking powder plus
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
2/3 cup tart cherries, well drained
2 tsp almond extract
1 3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup nuts, chopped (optional)



 

Preparation

Here is a scratch muffin recipe that is as good as homemade blueberry
muffins.

Yield: 24 muffins

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing
bowl. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, almond extract, and
vegetable oil blending well. Add to the dry ingredients and mix only
to blend, if using an elelctric mixer, use low speed, about 30
seconds. Batter will still be lumpy. Gently fold in the drained
cherries and chopped nuts. Spoon into well greased muffin tins
filling each about 2/3 full, handling the batter as little as
possible. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until done.
