all my energy went *poof*. went to buy cat and bird food, and dropped by the salvation army to find out whether they wanted our old microwave (yes), and that was pretty much the extend of my efforts today. oh, baked bread, but that's really the breadmachine that's expending the effort.
1-hour bread rules. even if it was a little undergrown. that's not bread i'd be proud of, but sometimes one just wants to have a quickie loaf to dunk into garlic hummus without spending 4 hours on letting some lovely artisan bread rise.

Bread machine dough is ready to bake in 1.45 hr. I do like the convenience of tossing in ingredients in the bread machine, hitting the dough setting, and walking away. It is so easy to make artisan bread that way. There are times a faster bread, like your 1-hour recipe, would be better suited to my needs.

on 2009-03-29 20:04 (UTC)the 1-hour bread is ridiculously easy (well, for one, my new machine makes it). but even if not -- the trick is two-fold: start with hotter water, and use faster acting yeast, and more of it. the bread only gets one rise cycle and will consequently be dense, but i _like_ dense bread. if you buy fast-acting yeast, it usually has a basic recipe on the container.
