I wanted to share the results of my conversion of the Bailey's Irish Creme bread
machine recipe to a hand-made bread.

MMMMM
Bailey's Irish Cream Bread (by hand)
1 1/3 c water
2 T Bailey's Irish Cream
3 c all purpose flour
1 pkg yeast
1/3 c brown sugar
1 cup quick oats
1/2 t salt
Combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Let
rise 1 hr. Put dough into a loaf pan which has been wiped with canola oil and floured.
The dough will be very elastic. Push it into the corners of the pan with wooden
spoon; let it rise 10 minutes more. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until
done.
I let this rise in the microwave after heating some water in there. It is still
a fairly low-rise bread, even though I substituted brown sugar for the yeast-inhibiting
honey. It doubled in size from beginning to end, and it was delicious. I added
a bit more water because my dough was a little dry. I also cut the salt a bit to
make it lower in sodium. I really didn't knead this, just mixed it well with a wooden
spoon. I don't think it will be necessary to do it any differently, since it was
so good!
I took this with me to dinner at a friend's, and the loaf was almost gone at the
end of the meal. The leftovers apparently didn't last the night. Good stuff.
