Judith wrote to the Daily Bread list asking what to do with Amaranth
Flour. In the first place, I have a recipe for Amaranth Oat Bread from
the Arrowhead Mills Amaranth flour box:
1 C oat flakes
2 C water
2 t salt (optional)
Bring the above to a boi, cook until thick and creamy. Cool to room
temperature.
combine and let set until bubbly (10 minutes):
2 t yeast
1/2 c warm water
3 T honey
1/4 c vegetable oil
Combine all of the above and
1 C amaranth flour
4 C whole wheat flour
Knead, let rise for 1 1/2 hours. Knead again, let rise second time,
punch down and form into loaves. Let rise, bake at 350 degrees F for 60
minutes, until crust is golden brown and bread tests done.
Of course, that is a traditional, not bread machine recipe.
In the second place, one can replace part of the wheat flour with
amaranth flour in any recipe. Try to use 1/4 amaranth flour, and see
what happens. I use this method with lots of different ingredients,
just to see how they work!
Keep Baking!
