I sent an addendum to the bread list as I had made a mistake. My new
DAK bread machine is a DAK Turbo Baker V not IV. This was the one
with all the extra numerical combination settings for various types of
heavy breads and supposedly a heavier motor. It came from the new
company that was formed after the first one went bankrupt.
About 3 loaves out of 4 either fall badly or are undercooked and the
crust much too dark. A little sticker on the book says to set the crust
color at "light" for eveything and I do.
When the DAK Gourmet company sent me the ads about this new DAK V, they
had a contest going to make a book of new recipes. I won a copy of the
book for submitting my "Dill Pickle Bread".
I loved my DAK II I should have just bought a new pot for it.
My favorite bread recipe is a 100% whole wheat bread made with
Pillsbury's Graham whole wheat flour.
1 scant tablespoon yeast
3 cups Pillsbury whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon gluten
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup instant potato flakes
4 tablespoons canola oil
About 1 - 1/4 C warm water
Normally, I like King Arthur unbleached flour instead of "bread" flour as
I avoid the many additives in other brands. something about Pillsbury
WW, though, which is a single ingredient flour, makes a better WW bread.
I always use bulk Red Star yeast from the health food store.
Thanks Maggie
