Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: olddude Date: 20 Oct 14 - 10:32 PM You bet he told his mother I was driving him to jamestown to the store. She made me the bread and other goodies. Gave my Mrs a big pack of homemade peanut brittle with a warning to me that it better make it home Lol |

Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: olddude Date: 20 Oct 14 - 10:41 PM Lancaster Amish are very commercial. Here wehhave the real Amish people that live pretty far out. They are a very close community. For some reason they all regard me like family even their bishop. I guess it is because I will help them any time I can. I do tend to always try to help if they need to get to doc or train station. I never take their money they do a lot for me |

Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: Rumncoke Date: 21 Oct 14 - 05:01 AM Good bread usually has been given time as well as care - a slow fermentation gives the flavours time to develop and things to happen. A dough that is mixed, artificially puffed up under pressure and then baked in a huge oven with steam and radiant heat as it trundles through on a conveyor belt can't compare because it just doesn't have time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: Ed T Date: 21 Oct 14 - 06:17 AM My moms home-made bread, when I was growing up as a youngster. It was cooked in a wood stove oven.I still remember the first cut of the crusty bread sitting warm on stovetop. It was fresh and moist in the inside, and right out of the oven. I have never eaten any bread even close to it. Yummy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: GUEST,sciencegeek Date: 21 Oct 14 - 08:40 AM here western New York, it's not uncommon to see Amish families selling at local farmer's markets... but here on our hill they have seasonal stands and Jacob's daughters "man" the shed that sells breads, pies and other baked goods, along with jams, jellies & pickles each Saturday. And the hubby wonders why he's still not losing much weight! LOL |

Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: GUEST,# Date: 21 Oct 14 - 05:25 PM Definitely my grandmother's. She worked at a bakery in England before coming to this country. She baked many things including bread in a coal-fired stove and when the stars were in alignment watch out. The smell of yeast, dough rising, being kneaded down again was the precursor to the kind of bread being spoken of. Simple tricks of the trade like stir in one direction, don't take shortcuts and keep an eye on it once it went into the oven paid dividends that have caused 98% of the bread on shelves today to be fodder rather than food in my opinion. Have a crust of that with butter and maybe jam and not only do you have dessert handled but also a great side dish. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best bread I ever had From: GUEST,Rahere Date: 22 Oct 14 - 07:20 AM Part of it is the yeast used: a long-developed neighbourhood sourdough is the most traditional, but requires you to bake rather more than a small family can use, or throw quite a lot. |
