First off, Robyn (who just happens to be my Grandpa and Grandma's next door neighbor) made some bread in her bread machine and shared it with them. She made the bread with the Soft White Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, but MaMa thinks it would work just as well, if you used the Hard Red Whole Wheat Bread Flour.
Ingredients for Sour Cream Whole Wheat Bread for a Bread Machine:
1/3 c + 1 Tbsp water
1/2 c sour cream
2 c Joseph's Grainery Hard Red Whole Wheat Bread Flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp yeast
Directions: All the recipe says it to use setting 7. We have to admit, MaMa and I don't know much about bread machines, but we're guessing that you dump the ingredients in, press the number seven and walk away...isn't that supposed to be the beauty of a bread machine?
Here's a question for all you bread machine users...are the settings universal on the machines? For instance, this recipe calls for setting 7, will it be setting 7 on most machines or will it vary by manufacturer?
Next, Katie from Spokane, Washington (who was Almira's Junior Miss when my MaMa was Colfax's Junior Miss) sent in a couple of muffin recipes that we're excited to try. They look pretty easy to make too!
