This would be for a bread recipe that uses Yeast and is made by hand not a bread machine

If so how much can you add
how would you adjust the recipe

Do you think it would be possible to take out 1/4 to 1/2 of the oat meal and use oat-bran instead.

I have made home made bread by hand for years and years
I do know that some of it depends on the day so you always have to adjust the amount of liquid you put in it.

I have never used oat bran in breads

I want to start to make bread that is better for us

I have to make potatoes for 20 people, and they have to stay hot for about 1 hour. I was thinking about baking them in aluminum foil, but does that make the skin soggy? Mashed potatoes is another option, or perhaps a mashed casserole dish. There is no oven space available, and no microwave, so I will be hauling from home. How do they do that in a restaurant, do they just depend on the heat lamp? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I am making hamburger patties, gravy, corn, homemade biscuits, I don't have any potatoes for mashed potatoes. Does anyone know a good side instead of mashed potatoes to go with this meal? I am making this for dinner tonight and I don't know what else to use. I was thinking of some kind of pasta but that just seems to nice for this southern meal?

I made slow cooked oatmeal for breakfast, and I didn't like the results. It came out very mushy, and slimy. It reminded me very strongly of those "just add hot water" instant flavored oatmeal packets that I can't stand! I usually go for quick oats (the kind you pour into boiling water) which I really enjoy. I was hoping for a texture closer to those than to what I got.

Here is the recipe I used:
1.5 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
4 cups of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 cooking apple, peeled and grated
granola to taste, sprinkled on top

So I think I might have gone awry in several of my steps in actually preparing this. I put all of the ingredients into the pot before I went to bed. My partner turned it on to low a few hours later before he came to bed at around 02:30. I got up at about 09:30 which means that it cooked for 7 hours--about an hour longer than the recipe called for.

I would like it to be a bit dryer and lumpier. What can I do?

Thanks!

my anniversary is coming up, and though its simple, reubens are my lovers Favorite, and I've never made them for him before. depending on the weather, desert will be a triple layer chocolate mousse cake, or a decadent blackberry cobbler. I need 2 other dishes to go with this, preferably cool dishes but anything contributed will be looked over. the anniversary is sunday...help!

The recipe I'm looking for is really easy. You just fold the ingrediants together, put it in a pie shell, and chill. I know it includes whipped cream and maybe cream cheese?

Tonight I'm making a roast tenderloin of beef (milet mignon). Since it's just me and my hunny, I'm wondering what we can do tomorrow with the leftovers? The many times I've made this before, there were plenty of people around to eat all of it.

Thanks!

I know this is vague, but my fiance told me about a dish that his old girlfriend used to make for him. She called it chicken plenty. All he knows is that it's really good and has to cook for hours. I think he also mentioned bacon? Any ideas?

I have never been able to make a great gravy. What are the best ingredients for a delicious gravy? The recipes I find online turn out bland. Please any ideas will be great for breakfast gravy and a dinner gravy.

At the moment I'm leaning towards getting a Kenwood Major model KM020. It was only released in Spring 07 and so reviews are hard to find. I'd be pleased to hear from anyone who has experience of Kenwood mixers (or 'kitchen machines') or who's in a position to compare those with Kitchenaids. Which is best and why - and how do Kenwoods perform? Thanks.

I found organic bananas at a good price. I bought three bunches. They are ripe. I don't want them to get overripe.
It's not like other fruits you can store in the fridge, as they get black.
I would not like to freeze them.
Would it be good to peel and put them in some lemon juice to preserve them and keep them fresh?

I'm just not sure how these their flavors mix. It seems that they are both made from peppers. Cayenne having heat and Paprika being sweet.

When I awoke this morning I notifed my freezer was cracked open. When I opened it to look inside I noticed that my ice cream had melted all over. My frozen burgers were defrosted. I have tons of lean cuisine meals in there. Everything still felt cold, but soft. Do I need to throw all that food away? Or can I re freeze it? Thanks for your help.

McDonald's production costs are probably the LEAST of any restaurant--even lower than the H&H (Horn & Hardart's), which used to serve great food for the money, which is probably why the H&H was superseded by the more profitable and less expensive chain, McDonald's! The burger places put the H&H's out of business, and the best survivor of these burger places is McDonald's. WHY CAN'T U.S. CATERERS COME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION THAN McDONALD'S? Is America still the greatest country in the world as reflected by its restaurants?
