Question about making bread?!


Question: Question about making bread!?
I've made about a dozen loaves of bread with my bread machine from various recipes from the cookbook that came with the machine and the internet!. I usually just make the dough in the machine and then bake it in the oven!. But I noticed all my bread comes out kinda dense without a crisp, flaky crust!. How do I get a nice airy, fluffy bread and a flaky crisp crust!?
Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
While it is baking, professional bakers mist their bread several times!. I think this might have something to do with a crisp crust!.

I don't know if it is true of all types of breads, but when the water was shut off in a district where a bakery was located, the baker called the water department and was in a tizzy because the water was not flowing to his factory where he had bread in the oven!. Apparently some professional ovens comes with misters inside!.

I believe french bread is misted for a crisp crust!.

Your bread would probably need to be a heavier-type bread containing more gluten!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Butter/oil has this effect on bread, but adds cholesterol!. also gluten helps!.
I do the same at home!. I bake mine in the oven!.
BUT, there is one thing you have to pay attention!. When using recipes from other sources other then you machine's book, make sure you pour the ingredients in the machine in the order of the manufacturer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try Thjis recipe: Always be sure to put ingredients into the bread machine in the order the instructions say--thats very important! 1 cup water 4 level or a tad shy cups flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 stick imperial margarine(not substitutes) 1 tsp salt on top of sugar 2 tsp fast acting yeast (saf instant) 1/4 cup water on top important: use onely 1 tsp yeast if baking in bread machine Ive used this recipe many times with good success!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
