Question:
I have been looking for bread recipes. What I’ve encountered is there are numerous bread recipes, but so many of them are for bread machines and not from scratch to be made in the oven. I don’t own a bread machine. Could you either have a separate category for Bread Machine Recipes or have a conversion table for those of us that would like to use one of the recipes?
Answer:
Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll try to figure a nice way to handle the difference between bread machine recipes and non-bread-machine recipes.
In the meantime, you can try using a special query that subtracts words from the search. So to search the breads category the search string would be category:breads -machine or category:breads -category:bread_machine.
Hopefully that will get you a little closer to what you’re looking for.
hello, I have a great breadrecipe that you will enjoy and it is really quick.
let me know if you have questions. my email address is on my website.
Three Minute Bread
Combine the yeastwith 1 tsp hoey and ½ cup water and let sit until it foams and ferments. Mix the flour/s , nuts and other ingredients and add the yeast mixture and the remaining water. Place the dough in a bread pan and put into cold oven..
DO NOT LET THE BREAD RISE!
Bake: 60 Min at 400°, 50 Min at 375° Convection (I found that convection does not work real well)
Take the bread out of the mold and bake for an additional 10 minutes-I never had to do this.
You may use any kind of nuts, seeds, dried fruit and different kind of flours. I have found that spelt flour works really well, as it makes the bread more moist than other flours. A mixture of spelt and rye works also really well
Preparation time: 3 Minutes
Ingredients for one loaf:
1 cube of hresh yeast or 2 bags of dried yeast
450 ml lukewarm water (very important)
500 g Spelt or Whole Grain Wheat Flour
50 g Sunflower seeds
50 g Sesame seeds
50 g Flax seeds
2 TL Salt
2 EL Red Wine Vinegar
And this is how I make it:
As mentioned already above I mix the 2 bags of yeast with about ½ cup of water and 1 tsp honey and let it sit until it ferments and foams. I mix the flour/s with salt and every once in a while I add some baking powder. Finally add the remaining ingredients such as nuts, seeds and dried fruit. Add the yeast mixture the remaining water and the vinegar. I use 4 Tbsp of vinegar and also more salt. To mix everything I use my Kitchenaid mixer and it works real well.
Transfer the dough into a heavy bread pan and put into a cold oven.
Rye flour should not be more than half the flour contents, it does not want to rise real well if it is more. Finally make a cut alongside the top of the loaf to control the split of the bread while baking. I have never had to bake it any additional time………….it would only dry out.

correction to my comment: it is supposed to be ‘Combine the yeast with 1 tsp honey’ and
‘1 cube of fresh yeast or 2 bags of dried yeast’

okay but the original question NEVER got answered. her whole point, which is MY point as well is that she doesn’t have a bread machine and wants to find recipes that are NOT for machines….she wanted to know where to find those, not where to find more bread machine recipes that she already found too many of. and i’m really hoping you email me a response so i know where to look cause it drives me CRAZY.
thanks much,
meredith

Hi, Meredith,
You might have misread my answer. Those links in the answer will search for bread recipes that don’t have the word “machine” in it. If you put a minus sign in front of the word, it subtracts that word from the search. So searching for “category:breads -machine” means search for bread recipes that don’t have the word machine in it. It’s not perfect, but it’s more likely to get you a recipe that does not require a bread machine.
Hope that helps!
