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.

Cornbread

 

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour (i use unbleached)
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp applesauce
3/4 cup skim milk
2 egg whites



 

Preparation

This is plain cornbread, not a corn flavored cake, so don't expect it
to be fluffy or sweet. It's great with black-eyed peas, new potatoes,
green onions, sliced tomatoes, and buttermilk, i.e., your basic
Southern farm fare. It's also very nice cold, broken into bite-sized
pieces in a glass of cold milk and eaten with a spoon.

Preheat oven to 425F. Grease pan (I use our #5 cast iron skillet - 8"
dia.) with a dab of olive oil on a paper towel (or spray with Pam)
and put in oven to preheat. Mix all ingredients, pour batter in
heated pan, and bake for 20 min. Cut into six medium or eight small
pieces.
