Baking Day

[mindem]

Freshly baked buns wait for butter and jam,
If you don't care for sweet, try some mustard and ham.



Breakfast things too.

I love to bake but mostly quick breads and cakes, scared of yeast. Someday.

5. check out this recipes booklet on Ebay

Way back in the 1960'a, I knew nothing about yeast baking, kept trying and having failures. I saved my yeast packets and sent off to get this booklet for free. The best thing about this booklet are the several pages about handling yeast, they proved invaluable. I think I have baked almost every recipe in this little booklet, my booklet has fallen apart from use. I have the recipes for dinner rolls and sweet rolls memorized.

My granddaughter and her husband were trying to make yeast bread and having some problems, I looked on Ebay and found a copy of this booklet and bought it for them for about 8 bucks. They said it has been very helpful to them.


Here is the Name: Fleischmann's Yeast Treasury of Yeast Baking Recipe Booklet It was published in 1962

7. Thank you for telling us about this site.

I downloaded the booklet. The coffee kringle is a great recipe, it calls for a cooked prune filling. it is a good recipe to try if you have never worked with yeast. It's my daughter's favorite. I usually double to recipe and make one kringle with the prune filling and another with pineapple or apricot preserves. I made the Danish pastries in the booklet one time. I made the recipe for yeast doughnuts too many times to count.

I have been trying out rapid-rise recipes and I am not liking them. The dough does not develop the same crumb as regular yeast dough, it's more like over-risen dough. I used the rapid rise recipes on the Fleischman website. I also used it to make pizza dough, but there is no advantage to using it as pizza dough is a one rise dough. I made dinner rolls with it 2 times, they were okay, but regular yeast dough produces a better product.
