Bread Recipes

I've had a couple of requests for the bread recipes that I've been following, so I'll start with the Auntie Anne's Pretzel recipe. I got it from copykat.com.

If you're using a bread maker:
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 T brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 cup bread flour
3 cups flour
1 T yeast

This makes the dough. Then roll out your pretzels until very thin (the thinner they are the more they taste like Auntie Anne's), and twist them into pretzel form. Dip in this solution:

2 cu water
2 T baking soda

Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Brush with melted sweet cream butter and sprinkle with kosher salt. Now, I mixed in 1 cup of whole wheat flour into the recipe just to make it feel a little healthier. This makes a 1 1/2lb loaf.


The whole wheat bread recipe is actually an Amish recipe that I cut down and worked into the right order for a breadmaker.

1 cup warm water
1/4 cu vegetable oil
1/4 cu honey
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cu whole wheat
1 1/2 T wheat gluten
3 cu whole wheat
1 T yeast

Put everything into the breadmachine in this order. This makes a 2lb loaf. I choose to use the light crust selection so that the crust isn't hard.
