I have perfected my already-perfect bread recipe!
I'm always substituting ingredients in my bread machine. The results are usually okay for me and my husband and eyed with suspicion by my daughters.
But today I substituted some oat flour and Blue Agave Syrup into my usual white bread bread-machine loaf. Delish!!!
Here's the recipe and I may continue to try to tweak it to up the health benefits:
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1/2 cup oat flour (made by grinding up Quaker Oats)
1/4 cup high-oleic Safflower Oil
less than 1/4 cup of Blue Agave syrup (somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4.... would that be 1/6?)
1/2 t salt
1 t bread machine yeast
Perfecto.
I want to try a piece!
ReplyDeleteAgave is a plant nectar... I don't know much more about it except that it is a lot sweeter than sugar... in reading the wikipedia entry about it, I'm not even sure it is that much better for you... but it is an alternative... and seems like it will work out to be cheaper than honey which I use constantly in recipes.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I did leave WATER off the recipe -- woops. That was 1 cup plus 2 T of warm water to all the dry ingredients.
