The Bread Thread - including quick breads, gluten-free and grain-free

Mine beeps after every rise if you want the dough then. Different beep for 3rd rise to pull paddle.

Grandma's sweet rolls that I used to make were a regular recipe. Could cheat with them mixer for first kneed but I often didnt.

Baking powder biscuits are the guilty pleasure here. I dont make them often because they will get eaten. Had to change baking powder from sodium bicarbonate to potassium bicarbonate for hubby, but at least he can eat biscuits then

And I now really want biscuits and gravy.

I have to admit I learned the basic bread recipe a long time ago when everyone was getting bread machines. My first machine eventually passed away but I recalled seeing an old Cajun woman turning and kneading dough on her kitchen table and I thought, I can replace the bread machine. So I still used that recipe except I had more freedom to make rolls, beignets etc. I have done whole wheat instead.
Lately I’ve been thinking about getting a mill and buying some wheat to make my own flour.

It would be awesome to be able to get legit "ancient wheat" to make our bread : )

I've never heard of "potassium barcarbonate" ... what is special about it, please : )

what did you use for your "buns"?

Hi there - she uses a couple different organics from AS.

I believe she mainly uses the organic all purpose.

You would like our church then, because that's what's for breakfast every Sunday morning.

Yes, it is by far better than say almond and coconut which is a bit heavy : )

There are 2 baking sodas used for food. Potassium bicarbonate used to be used more than it is now and was used much more in commercial baking. Sodium bicarbonate is what people now think of when you say baking soda. Baking powder is just a mix of a baking soda and an acid.

My husband has a kidney disease and has to be on a restricted sodium diet. No more than 2300 mg of sodium a day. So I have to calculate what occurs naturally in the food plus any added. Regular baking powder and soda jump the sodium in foods. Getting the potassium versions makes it doable. Still have to be careful with that, too, because cant have too much there either but his potassium levels have remained steady with my usage.

He can't really have regular cookies. I have to bake them for him.

The biscuits go from 350 mg each to 80 mg by changing baking powder and reducing salt.

Okay got it, thank you : ) I think anything home baked is better than bought, which has preservatives and more sodium than is necessary!?
