Answer 3

I'm not sure how basic you want to go... I have done this bread w/ homemade wheat bread dough as well....

Jalapeno Bread

2 (1-lb.) loaves frozen white bread dough, thawed
1 (8 3/4-oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 egg, beaten
1 (3 1/2-oz) can whole jalapenos, chopped
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 (2-oz) jar sliced pimientos, drained
1-1/2 tsp vinegar

Cut bread dough into 1-in. pieces. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Spoon into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm if desired.

Yield: 2 loaves.

Answer 4

40 min 15 min prep, 2 loaves

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 cups water, warmed
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour

In a large bowl, mix the yeast with the warm water and stir in sugar until dissolved.
Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time.
Knead bread for about 5-10 minutes.
Place bread in a large bowl sprayed with olive oil spray and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and place in(inactive/not hot) oven to rise for one hour, or until dough has doubled in size. (If the kids really can't wait, 45 minutes works too!)
Punch down the bread and let the kids shape it, or put it into two loaf pans. I recommend brushing with an egg mixed with a tablespoon of water because it makes the bread taste better and makes it golden and crispy on the outside. Let the dough rise for another half hour (you can skimp on this to 20 minutes again if you have to!). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Serve with margarine mixed with honey (about 2-3 tablespoons, to taste) and brown sugar (ditto, but packed). To store this bread, wrap very tightly in several layers of foil, or put in a large Ziploc bag and seal. But, it's best warm and served the same day -- however putting chunks in the microwave for 10 seconds if it's a day old helps, too. (Forgive me for my run-on sentences -- I am educated!).
P.S. Even for a health nut like I usually am, using whole-wheat flour exclusively in this recipe gives it a bad reputation.

Answer 5

Any bread recipe can be tweaked for health.
Substitute: use half whole wheat
hold out one cup flour for oats
olive oil instead of butter
And finally add 1/4 cup of flax seed meal for extra moisture. All of these are kinder to your colon and heart plus making a dense hearty bread.

Answer 6

Believe it or not the healthiest breads are not home made. The harder grains that contain essential nutrients need special handling to make a palatable loaf. Purchase organic ancient grain breads and save you kitchen efforts to create other healthy dishes.
