I still do any rolls or specialty loaves but he makes sure the bread box isn't empty.<br /><br />And I really like the toast this makes. Actually has flavor beyond just a crispy texture, kwim?<br /><br />-CarolynCarolyn at Walnut Spinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982368470253333616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6951421301916538500.post-50105275701226484962009-12-31T10:42:39.460-05:002009-12-31T10:42:39.460-05:00Thanks for this recipe.

Turned out well. <br /><br />Here are the settings I used:<br />Preheat: Off<br />Knead: 21 minutes<br />Rise1: 2 hours, 30 minutes<br />Rise2: 1 hour, 15 minutes<br />Rise3: 30 minutes<br />Bake: 45 minutes<br /><br />When the summer heat arrives I can probably drop the initial rise back to 2 hours but the kitchen temp was 62F. today and after I set the rise for 2 hours I ended up extending it another 30 minutes in order for the dough to truly double in size. YMMV<br /><br />To make this completely in the Zojo, I put the yogurt, water, flour and vinegar in the machine last night and let it mix (knead) for about 3 minutes then shut it off. Restarted the custom setting from the beginning this morning when I added the remaining ingredients. <br /><br />I did need to add an additional 1/4 cup of fresh ground wheat flour to the dough to get the right consistency. This is in line with what happens when I make it by hand -- the whole wheat dough almost always seems wetter than bread dough made with store-bought all-purpose or bread flour and often requires a few extra tablespoons especially if I use oil instead of butter and include an egg in the mix. (Both of which I did today.)<br /><br />HTH!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06982368470253333616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6951421301916538500.post-17295075761246315942009-05-12T23:26:00.000-04:002009-05-12T23:26:00.000-04:00I haven't tried it but think it could be done by p...I haven't tried it but think it could be done by programming one of the custom settings to accommodate the recipe.<br /><br />As it happens I have wheat, yogurt, water and vinegar mixed and setting out ready to stir up a batch of bread sometime tomorrow. I'll try using the Zojo for the rest of the process and will post the custom settings I settle on later this week. <br /><br />Thanks for the nudge. :-)CarolynIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06982368470253333616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6951421301916538500.post-88336204498851495782009-05-12T22:18:00.000-04:002009-05-12T22:18:00.000-04:00Thanks for the recipe.

Before that I used my Vitamix when I wanted fresh-ground wheat and it did a decent job but wouldn't grind as much or as fast or with the degree of range (very fine to very coarse) that my current mill has. <BR/><BR/>It was a hard decision because if I could have what I wanted without having to pay the price in time and money, I would have gotten a high-end hand-powered one. You know, stone ground and all that. But the truth is, for us, right now, it needed to be electric for me to use it regularly. And that's what I wanted it for: regular, almost daily, use.<BR/><BR/>FWIW I'm not sure I would have bought one if I'd had Sue Gregg's blender method at hand. It really makes a nicely textured loaf. Try it, you may be able to put off buying a mill for awhile!Carolyn at Walnut Spinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982368470253333616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6951421301916538500.post-18509938797785871722008-01-10T14:21:00.000-05:002008-01-10T14:21:00.000-05:00I want to start grinding my own flour.
