Food Processor White Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the warm water into a large bowl, and whisk in 4 teaspoons of bread flour, the yeast, and the white sugar until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Allow to stand until the yeast starts to form creamy bubbles, about 5 minutes.
• Fit a dough blade into a large food processor, and place 3 1/2 cups of bread flour, the oats, whole wheat flour, salt, brown sugar, and vegetable oil into the work bowl. Start the food processor running, and slowly add enough of the water-yeast mixture to allow the dough to form a firm ball and pull away from the sides of the processor, about 1 minute. Process for another 30 seconds to knead.
• Place the dough into an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and divide into 2 equal-sized pieces. Form each piece into a loaf; pinch the seams and ends closed.
• Grease 2 4x8-inch loaf pans, and place the loaves into the pans with the seam sides down. Allow to rise until the dough is 1 inch above the rim of the pans, about 1 more hour.
• While dough is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are browned, about 35 minutes. Allow bread to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks to finish cooling.

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl and set aside.
• Using steel blade, place flour and salt in bowl of food processor. Pour in yeast mixture through chute; process till dough forms ball.
• Break dough apart and reprocess 2 or 3 times.
• Place dough in BUTTERED bowl; turn dough in bowl to butter all sides.
• Cover and let rise about 1 hour, till doubled in size.
• Punch down, shape into loaf and place in greased loaf pan.
• Let rise till doubled (about 45 minutes).
• Bake in preheated oven (450°) 25 to 30 minutes or till golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. With dough blade inserted, place flour, sugar, yeast and salt -- then process fro 5-10 seconds to combine.
• 2. Add butter and egg to mix and pulse.
• 3. Start the processor and slowly pour the warm water through the chute intil the dough forms a ball. All the water may not be needed. If the mix looks crumbly, then add bits of water. If the mix looks watery, then add some flour.
• 4. Once the ball is formed, process for another 1-2 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
• 5. Remove the dough from the processor bowl and form the dough into a ball. Let the dough ball sit for 10 minutes to rest.
• 5. Shape the dough as desired ( it can be shaped anyway but it must fit into a loaf pan).
• 6. Place into loaf pan ( spray with Baker's Joy first). Cover dough with a moist, warm, wrung out, cloth. Let dough rise, in pan,.
• until doubled . This will take anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes. Dough should be "proofed" before placing into preheated oven. The dough should , when pressed lightly, bounce back slowly ( a small indent may be left.).
• 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes , at 350 F or until a thermometer reads, when inserted deep into the dough, 195°F.
• 8. Let loaf cool in pan fro the first 10 minutes, then cool loaf on rack.

Steps:

• Place the flour, salt, wheat gluten and yeast in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Using an instant-read thermometer, adjust the water temperature so that the combined temperatures of the water and the flour give a base temperature of 130 degrees F using a Cuisinart or KitchenAid or 150 degrees F if using a Braun. With the machine running, add the oil and the water through the feed tube. Process for 20 seconds, adding the remaining water if the dough seems crumbly and dry and does not come together into a ball during this time. Continue mixing the dough another 25 seconds for a total of 45 seconds.
• Stop the machine and take the temperature of the dough with an instant-read thermometer, which should read between 75 deg. F and 80 deg. F. If the temperature is lower than 75 deg. F, process the dough for an additional 5 seconds, up to twice more, until it reaches the desired temperature. If the temperature is higher than 80 deg. F, remove the thermometer, scrape the dough from the food processor into an ungreased bowl, and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes. Check the temperature of the dough after 5 minutes; the dough should be 80 deg. F or cooler by that time.
• Remove the dough from the processor and place it in a large ungreased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours at room temperature, about 70 deg. F to 72 deg. F. It will increase in volume somewhat, but don't be concerned by how much.
• Turn onto a lightly floured work surface, and shape into a ball. Place the formed loaf on a floured baking sheet, cover the loaf, and let it proof at room temperature for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until it visibly doubles in bulk. The dough will be ready to bake when an instant-read thermometer shows it has reached an internal temperature of 60 deg. F to 62 deg. F.
• One hour before bakng, place a small pan for water on the floor of the oven, put the oven rack on the second shelf from the bottom of the oven, and place the baking stone on the rack. Preheat the oven to 475 deg. F. Transfer the bread onto a peel or onto the back of a baking sheet heavily coated with cornmeal.
• Carefully pour 1 cup of hot water onto the pan on the floor of the oven. Slide the loaf from the peel or baking sheet heavily coated with cornmeal.
• Bake the loaf for 2 minutes. Create steam by adding another cup of water to the pan on the floor of the oven. Continue baking for 18 minutes, until the crust is a dark brown. Or, the bread will be finished when it reaches an internal temperature of 205 deg. F to 210 deg. F on an instant-read thermometer. Cool the bread on a wire rack before cutting.

Steps:

• Heat water and butter or margarine in a small saucepan over low heat until very warm (120° to 130° F). Separate 1 egg reserve white. Use plastic blade (or follow specific instructions for your processor) and blend sugar, yeast, salt and 1 1/2 cups flour for 5 seconds or until blended. With processor running, add butter mixture in a steady stream, processing briefly just to mix well. Add egg yolk and remaining egg process for 10 seconds or until well mixed. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, processing after each addition, until dough is still soft but not sticky, about 60 to 90 seconds. Remove from processor bowl and shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl turn dough to coat surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes. Punch down dough on a lightly-floured surface, shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 45 minutes. Beat reserved egg white slightly brush over loaf. Bake in a preheated 375° F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan cool on a wire rack.
