Introduction

From the DAK TurboBaker V Breadmaker machine (no longer produced). This recipe makes about 1.5 pounds and designed for round machines where the yeast goes in first (bottom) and liquids on top. For square type machines where yeast goes on last, just reverse the sequence of ingredients, and adjust proportions if your machine is smaller (see manufacturer directions for conversions). My family LOVES this recipe. I've also used dried mint as well as fresh mint, and I tend to use the plain full-fat (healthy fat) yogurt, rather than no-fat with the added gelatins, gums, carageenan, or other thickeners - the more bacteria strains, the better, as far as I'm concerned. We've also used other bread flours, not necessarily King Arthur brand, so that's up to you as well. Breads usually include some salt to improve bread rising, but this recipe does not call for salt. I've used unsalted butter in this recipe with good results so I'm guessing the natural sodium in lemon or in the yogurt may be at play here? It works somehow! or has, for us!

Tips

This is from a booklet of recipes from the DAK Gourmet Products (1995 - they have been out of the business for 10+ years!) for those who purchased their Turbo Baker V breadmaker - mine still works, except for the timer.). Baking times will vary depending on altitude, temperatures and humidity in your house, etc, and the machine is designed to compensate. So I'm having to give you a rough idea on the cooking time, as the entire time for mixing, rising, resting, rising, baking, and cooling cycles is about 3-4 hours. Most of that goes on in the background, whether in the bread machine or whether you are mixing it manually and kneading dough and putting into your own pans and baking them. So the Cooking time down below I'm just going to say 1 hour = but there are variations even among people's oven - gas, electric, some are fast, some are slow (temperature not at true temperature). If it smells like baked bread, it's about ready to come out of the oven and tested for doneness. If in the breadmaker, it should make noises or beeps or light flashing or other ways to signal, and then simply shut off.


Directions

In a round type breadmaker, place ingredients in the pan (be sure to put your rubber gasket and paddle in first!) in the order indicated. In square type breadmaker, usually you put the ingredients in reverse order (liquids first, yeast last) but better to read your breadmaker manufacturer instructions. Select "White" bread mode. Push Start.

You can also use the same ingredients and make up the bread manually - I'm going to assume you already know how to mix the dough up and let it rise double and punch it down and rise again and bake in oven about 350 degrees. If not, please consult the various cookbooks you have or ask Grandma or read on the Internet. The King Arthur website has good tutorials on making breads without a breadmaker, even if you aren't using their specific brand of flour.

Serving Size: Makes about 1.5 pounds of bread
