Vegeterian Tips: If you are going to a gathering with all your meat lover friends such as a barbeque or pig roast, bring your own veggie burger to place on the grill. You can also make your own veggie kabobs with fresh vegetables and tofu. Just make sure to bring enough, as most people will want to try and probably like what you are eating!
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 3/4 teaspoons yeast CRITICAL use a measuring spoon
- 1 teaspoon malt powde
- 2 oz water at 120 degrees (NOT MORE) get a dial thermomete
- 3 cup whole wheat flou
- As much as 1 Cup may be replaced by rye,corn
- .5 cup unbleached white flou
- 1 heaping tablespoon Gluten (not critical), + 1 heaping tablespoon for each cup non wheat flou
- 1 cup water
- Sweetening, depending on batch, could be 2 tablespoon molasses, or malt vegan sugar, etc. Amount depends on whether you want sweet (raisin) or not (rye, etc. )
- 1 teaspoon salt add at end, this inhibits yeast
Directions:
I commonly use a cup of rye or half a cup of rye and half a cup of
corn flour + 3 T of carroway seeds. This is great with soups or fo
open sandwiches. This vegan bread is a bit heavy for a two slice sandwich.
Pour yeast, malt powder and water into bread machine and measure the
following. This gets yeast off to a good start.
Measure out in a separate bowl the rest of the ingredients or just
wait a few minutes for the yeast to take off and then add directly to
machine.
(Not putting molasses in the bowl makes it easier to clean.)
Once yeast is bubbling, add dry ingredients to machine and any othe
wet ingredients, any seeds, banana, etc. Start and watch to adjust
moisture. Probably needs another oz. of water. May need more. Each
batch needs to be adjusted. Should be one mass not two separate ones
and machine should be able to stir without straining.
