Busy summer

Been a bit busy of late, so not as much baking is taking place. Well, I do still make bread every day, but I'm cheating and doing the whole thing in the bread machine.

My favourite recipe for that is the Whole Grain bread  recipe found here: http://moonbaking.blogspot.ca/2012/09/multigrain-bread.html

Making baguette the EASY way!

I've completed my very first video, ever! Hopefully it will be useful in demonstrating how easy it is to make bread. I use the machine for the heavy, hard work by using the "dough" setting, then remove it to shape any type of bread you wish!

Bread machine recipe for three baguettes (in a nutshell):

1 3/4 cup water

4 1/2 cups BREAD flour (approximately)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Add ingredients to bread machine in order listed. Set to "dough" setting. When done, shape loaves as desired. Let rise 2-4 hours. Bake in 350F oven for 22-25 minutes.

Watch the video for full instructions. It's my very first video ever, so be gentle with me!

BTW, the music is Sevillana by Commandos Percu.
