Afternoon all!

I'm in need of an easy bread recipe. I don't have a bread maker so will be done by hand and baked in the dreaded aga!

Any suggestions?!

    I am not sure what kind of bread you are looking for but Beer bread is really good and easy.
    3 cups flour
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/4 cheddar cheese shredded
    1 1/2 tbspoon of italian seasoning
    12 oz of beer any kind
    3 tbs butter

    Put 1 1/2 tbs of butter in loaf pan and put in oven while preheating to 450
    mix all ingredients together and then add the beer.
    bake about 50 minutes at 350.
    check it about 35-40 minutes in and spread the remaining butter over the top to melt.

    Bree's Bread
    2 Loaves
    4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
    1 1/2 cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour
    1 cup Ground Flaxseed
    3 tsp Sea Salt
    5 tsp Yeast
    1/2 cup Canola Oil
    1/2 cup Honey
    2 1/2 cups Warm Water
    Butter

    Place all ingredients (except butter) in a mixer with dough hook and let knead 5-8 minutes or until dough pulls away from the edges. Remove, divide in half and shape into two loaves. Place each in a greased baking/loaf pan. Let rise, covered, in a warm place for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until risen just above the side of the baking pan. Bake for 35 minutes at 350° F or until crust is browned. Remove from baking pans immediately and place on a cooling rack. Lightly rub the tops with butter.

    About This Recipe

    "These are a delicious home-made bread replacement that are practically carb free and very high in protein. They are just like heaven so I call them clouds. Compliments of Kristin Patterson."
    Ingredients

    3 eggs, separated
    3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
    ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
    1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
    Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
    In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.
    In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.
    Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
    Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
    With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
    Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).
    Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
    While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
    Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! The choice is up to you, and you will be quite amazed at how much like a bun these really are!
