I invented a new recipe yesterday in my Zo and it was *wonderful* except
that it had a bitter taste that I could sense only at the very back sides
of my tongue. Anyone know what might have caused it?
Ingredients were:
Mix together and let cool:
Amaranth grain, 1/2 cup
Water, 1 1/4 cup, boiling
Rosemary, 1 TB
Combine dry ingredients, mix well, bring to room temperature in microwave:
Gluten, 1/2 cup
Amaranth flour, 3/4 cup
Kamut flour, 1 cup
Oat flakes, 1/2 cup
Whey, 1 TB
Add water mixture to Zo bread pan along with:
Barley malt syrup, 1 TB
Canola Oil, 1 TB
Lecithin, 1/2 tsp
Salt, 1 1/4 tsp
Ascorbic acid, 500 mg (I crushed one Vitamin C tablet)
Add flour mixture to Zo pan, then
SAF yeast, 1 3/4 tsp
If you try this recipe, (even with the bitter aftertaste it was terrific!)
you will need to monitor the knead and adjust the water/flour ratio.
I also noticed that during the second knead the machine made a loud "chirk"
sound every once in a while; I thought some of the amaranth grains might
have gotten under the paddle and were squeaking; it stopped after a while.
If you have any idea what might have caused the chirking sound or the
bitter taste please share with me; I want to make this recipe regularly.
Thank you,
