Good quick bread!

[Julie Bove]

I followed this recipe exactly except that I made two smaller loaves and
baked them for 20 minutes instead of 40 for one loaf. Excellent bread and
quick to make too!

Please not that while this is an Irish recipe and contains soda, it is not
Irish Soda bread. Still good though.

I have found that a good bit of the king arthur recipes are like just
lacking the depth and substance of a good finished product. I am not
saying that all are just the recipes that I have made <the gluten free
ones> which may be because I used the suggested king arthur gluten
free flour which may be crap but I really have no idea because I no
longer use that brand.

Just talking about flour in general. So much talk about various
kinds of white flour for different things.

I've made delicious bread, cakes, pizza dough, pancakes, cookies
all my adult life and I've always used just plain all-purpose
flour...either made by Pillsbury or Gold Medal brands. Never a
fail, never a complaint. So simple yet people here will laugh.
IMO, the last laugh is on them for trying to fix that which was
never broken. I'll get yelled at here for that and called stupid,
ignorant, etc but hey....

[Cindy Hamilton]

Sure. And you can use latex paint for everything. But you
might get better results with a specialized formulation. It's
all in how picky you are.

Who the fuck cares... Everyone on usenet (excluding me of course) is
an idiot. Tomorrow you will wake up and go on with your life as though
nothing ever happened. So if someone is stupid enough to laugh at
something that is not intended to have a humorous effect then tell
them they can kiss your ass..

As far as flour you know my opinion, if it contains wheat it is the
devils plaything and should be shunned, spat on, burned, buried, dug
up, reburied, dug up again, vac sealed and sank in the ocean in a
sealed and welded non rusting metal box....

Line taken from hitchhikers guide......

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

Oh my my my look whose talking off topic and supposedly off charter
now???

Well being an amateur painter myself ANYONE that uses latex does not
fully understand what creating art truly is IMHO. I mean any self
respecting righteous man and/or woman that truly loves the art that
they create would use an oil based paint !!!!

Unless you are talking about painting a house or any other structure
that is located outside in a non climate controlled area.

I've tried other KA recipes. All good. I don't think such as thing as good

bread and a bun made in the microwave in a Corelle bowl.

[cshenk]

Don't worry. There are many who want everyone to follow their 'one true
method with their flour'.

I'm not one of them. The loaf you saw just posted? 75% store brand
all purpose with a 4% gluten variation by season (and no, it does not
say what this one was). 25% 'bread flour'.

Pillsbury or Gold Medal will be more static on the gluten level than
local store brands. Good to use them. Me, I adapt after the first loaf
as the local store stuff shifts a bit.

I agree about the GF recipes. They all seem well sort of mechanical or
ya know just strewn together to have a recipe that is gluten free. It
is all basically crap. I have been able to learn how to convert good
recipes into gluten free, with the help of an air fryer.... The air
fryer (I use a power air fryer) has made my cooking so simple and
fast. Granted there is a bit of precooking but I spend several hours
precooking potatoes and I can have any potato dish in under like 7
minutes every day for like 2 weeks. I am talking things like hash
browns, french fries, scalloped potatoes... things of that nature...
mashed potatoes is a different story.
I can also precook my fried chicken dishes such as nuggets, chicken
tacos...

That really helps my GF menus.

as far as baking and breads and such I use the GF corn tortillas.. I
don't really like cakes anymore. I occasionally make a pie where I get
a gluten free pie crust from Trader Joes and can make the hell out of
a pumpkin pie or an apple pie with a caramel (recipe already posted)
swirl. Although I use fresh pumpkin so it is seasonal...

And I appreciate you talking to me as though I am a regular person, it
means a lot.... (getting teary eyed now..)

If you want people to talk to you as if you were a regular person, it

Ever tried a sweet potato pie? Fall crop locally but always
available from somewhere year round. Tastes so much like pumpkin
pie if you use the same recipe. Easier to prepare too as compared
to a pumpkin.

;-o
Could someone here please mail me some Deet? Thanks in advance.

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

no this one time in band camp I put together a pumpkin spice and put
it in an apple pie... it was pretty good but did not taste like
pumpkin though, it pretty much tasted ...well.. like an apple pie.

I eat but loads of sweet potatoes, well maybe not butt loads, but more
than the average bear. As I do with my russets I partially cook them
and then freeze them... Potatoes last a long time in the freezer.

I will surely have to try that though next time I go to TJ's and get a
gluten free pie crust.

We don't eat a lot of potatoes. My gardener likes sweet potatoes. I don't. I
usually keep some instant because I'm the only one who reall likes mashed. I
never do any sort of fried stuff to begin with. I just don't care for it.

I never liked cake and can live without pie. I do go through a lot of
tortillas. I made bean and cheese enchiladas last night wih whole pinto
beans cooked from scratch. Topped with green pepper and white onion.

Well it sounds to me that someone perhaps a doctor or something told
you at one time you need to cut back on the cholesterol. Because you
seem to avoid things with cholesterol.... The air fryer would be
perfect for you...

Nope. I know that the cholesterol in food doesn't affect my cholesterol. The
mainstays of my diet are beans, rice, fresh vegetables, cheese, olive oil,
olives and a little meat. Breakfast is usually cottage cheese and toast. No
need for an air fryer for any of those things!

I eat that way not because anyone told me to eat that way. Those are my
favorite foods!

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

Cottage cheese is packed full of cholesterol unless it is the soy
cottage cheese

[Bruce]

Julie already told you that the cholesterol in food isn't the problem.
Do you even read what people say?

[jmcquown]

I get what he's saying, though. Both of my grandmother's baked bread
for their families. If not every day, at least several loaves a couple
of times a week. They nearly always used all-purpose flour. It was
what was available.

They understood about gluten development, the importance of rising,
punching down and rising again. The use of yeast or baking powder
and/or soda, depending on the bread.

I doubt Gary is going to turn into an avid bread baker. If he does
decide to do so, then he might care to investigate the different types
of flours. For both my grandmother's, my mother and me, all-purpose
flour has always worked. :)

That is posted only for the stats on cottage cheese. I eat 2%. I don't
believe what they say about the cholesterol in diet.

[Jinx the Minx]

I only eat the 4% non-low-fat cottage cheese. I have no need to watch my
cholesterol. I did notice, however, that those amounts listed on this
website were for 1 full cup, which is double a serving size.

I checked a couple sites and they all indicate that a serving of cottage
cheese is one cup.

Interesting. The cottage cheese in my refrigerator that I had for dinner
lists 1/2 cup as the serving size.

Wow I have seen 15 and 58 and 10 and 5.. and guess what I found a 0
cholesterol so I tried to investigate further on this magical cottage
cheese and I got a 404 OOPS, THE PAGE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CAN'T BE

So whatever vegetarian cottage cheese you are using please let me
