BREAD MACHINE BASICS: These helpful tips apply to all types of bread
machines: Bread flour, which is high in protein, works best for
breads made in a bread machine. You can use other grains or flours
with the bread flour but not in place of all of it. Some recipes
also call for a small amount of gluten flour. This helps breads,
especially those made with low-gluten flours (such as whole wheat
flour), hold together.
Add ingredients to the bread machine in the order specified by the
directions in the owner's manual.
To use powdered milk instead of fresh, add 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
powder for each 1 cup of water and add it with the flour. Always use
powdered milk when using the timer on your machine.

The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also describes how the ancient Romans used a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
