1 tbsp honey or sugar
4 cup flour (2 c. can be whole wheat or o, ther flour)
Directions
Some notes on using a pressure cooker for baking: Method 1 - Uses the
pressure cooker as the loaf pan. Grease inside of cooker well and
sprinkle interior with cornmeal. If making sweet breads, omit the
cornmeal. Method 2 ~ Uses the pressure cooker as an oven. YOU MUST
REMOVE THE PRESSURE RELIEF PLUG AND RUBBER SEAL. The high
temperatures will damage them.
In all cases, a "flame tamer" should be used to prevent scorching.
Unless specified, water should be lukewarm.
Ships Bread - Method 1
Combine water, yeast, and honey and let stand without stirring. When
yeast has dissolved (about 5 minutes), stir and knead in flour. Let
dough rise in warm place until doubled in bulk. Punch down and turn
into the cooker. Allow to rise again until doubled. Bake over medium
flame for about 45 minutes. You can turn the loaf over half way thru
the baking to allow for more even browning.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans used many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
