>Easy Microwave Bread
>
>This recipe makes a slightly dense, chewey, bagel-like bread in less than an
>hour with minimal effort. The added gluten makes the bread moist while
>retaining a good crumb structure. The honey and molasses give the bread a
>mildly sweet taste and a nice color. Experiment with different flour
>combinations. My favorite is 1 cup oat flour mixed with 2 cups white or
>whole wheat. Whole oats, grains, dried fruits or vegetables can be added for
>flavor.
>
>Ingredients:
>
>3 C. bread flour (unbleached white, whole wheat, oat, rye or
> combination of two or more)
>1 1/2 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
>1 T. vital wheat gluten
>1 C. warm water
>2 tsp. molasses
>2 tsp. honey
>1 tsp. oil
>1/4 C. warm water
>1 1/2 tsp. yeast
>1/4 tsp. honey
>
>In a glass measuring cup mix together:
>
>1 1/2 tsp. yeast
>1/4 C. warm water (90-105F; should feel slightly warm when tested on
>inside of wrist)
>1/4 tsp. honey
>
>Set mixture aside and let it rise for several minutes. Place the flour, salt
>and wheat gluten in a 4 cup or larger microwave safe bowl. When the yeast
>mixture has risen sufficiently, add it to the flour. In the same measuring
>cup measure 1 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons
>each of honey and molasses, and 1 teaspoon of oil. Stir to dissolve then add
>to the flour mixture. Mix together the dough, adding additional water as
>necessary to work all of the flour in to the dough. When dough is ready to
>knead, place a large jar of water in the microwave and heat on HIGH until it
>begins to boil (6-8 minutes). While water is boiling, knead the dough
>(either in the bowl or on the counter).
>
>To bake, you can use the same bowl that you mixed the dough in, or use
>another microwave safe dish. I like to use a lidded ceramic baking dish
>which I have preheated in the microwave by placing in it a small container of
>water and heating it at the same time as the jar of water. If ushing a bowl,
>lightly oil it. After kneading, place the dough back in the bowl or other
>baking dish, coating one side with oil then turning so that the oil side is
>up. Place the dough in the microwave along with the jar of water that you
>previously heated. Microwave on lowest power setting for 20-25 minutes until
>doubled in bulk. Microwave on HIGH setting 6-8 minutes. Bread is done when
>it springs back after pressing the crust. Remove the bread from the
>microwave and invert the bowl to remove the bread. If you prefer a browned
>crust, microwave the dough on HIGH 4-5 minutes then finish cooking in a 425F
>oven until nicely browned (if using a bowl in the microwave, invert the loaf
>onto an oven safe baking sheet).
>
>I imagine this dough could also be used as a pizza dough... especially if you
>partially bake it in the micro then finish it in the regular oven.
