Tomorrow is World Bread Day!
I'm going to use this day to expand my girls repertoire of recipes for the bread machine. 8yo-rye. 6yo-wheat
And, we'll just have bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
::Cranberry-lemon for breakfast
::Rye for lunch
::Maybe a Nutty Wheat for Dinner
And, I'm making it my personal goal to GET MY CRAZY ORDER in from King Arthur's Flour ....I mean....REALLY! How much TIME can I possibly spend thinking about yeast, lecithin, and ascorbic acid??????

get a grinder and buy the wheat berries and grind your own flour.. hard white wheat flour and you don't have to think about even that many things.. it has a nice high gluten content and breads can be whole wheat and made nice and soft and fluffy without lots of additives. We like the nutty flavor of red hard wheat so I mix mine half and half.
But I found you dont' need to add much for wonderful bread when you use fresh ground flour.
What I need is a new mixer.. but that won't be for a while.. not when the one you want is about $600

I grind my own wheat and I still fritter away over the joys of King Arthur's Flour! I do this EVERY Fall...possibly because I love autumn baking and there are so many neat baking items there!
Where did you get your rye flour? Are you ordering from KAF? Or did you find it locally? I've really been thinking of ordering some rye flour from my grocery buying club because they offer it at a good price....but I've never made rye bread before. We love it though - so I'd love a recipe if you have one!
There are a number of German folks here in Huntsville and one of my favorite things is to enjoy their traditional German potato salad and warm, dark rye. YUM!
I made a potato bread for breakfast tomorrow...but I cheated and used bread flour instead of grinding whole wheat. Everyone will think it's a treat bread...or that I'm pregnant!!! The only time we ever have white bread is when I'm pregnant and can't stand the taste of whole wheat!

when I make rye bread.. I'm not necessarily making a dark rye bread.. just using rye flour with regular flour in my regular bread recipe.. i slip some caraway into the rye before I grind it so that it gets that good caraway flavor throughout (which is often what is thought of as the rye flavor).

2.5 c. flour
1.5 c. rye flour
3 T. br sugar
2 T. caraway
2 t. salt
1 T. SAF yeast

And, I LOVE this Bohemian Black Bread (2 lb):

2 T. molasses
2 1/3 c. flour
1 1/3 c. med. or dark rye flour

That's what I meant...cranberry and orange.
I just made this quick bread for breakfast tomorrow that turned out SOOOOOO good!!!!!!!
Dried Cranberry Tea Bread
1 c. dried cranberries (soaked in boiling water, drained)
2 large eggs
2 t. almond extract
1 t. vanilla
1/4 c. oil
3/4 c. apple or orange juice concentrate
3/4 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. flour
1 c. pastry flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. salt
***I was talking with my older two girls tonight about the breads on the agenda for tomorrow and showing them that Bread website. So.....my sister calls. DD-8 gets on the phone with her and says, "So, Auntie Senta.....what are YOU going to make tomorrow for World Bread Day?"
And, OF COURSE, her response is understandably "World WHAAAAT?"
