GINGERED SPICE BREAD ( BREADMAKER 1 1/2 LB. LOAF)

Steps:

• Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer.
• (If dough is too dry or stiff or too soft or slack, adjust dough consistency) Checking Dough Consistency: Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; it should form a soft, smooth ball around the blade.
• If dough is too stiff or dry, add additional liquid, 1 teaspoon at a time, until dough is of the right consistency.
• If dough is too soft or sticky, add additional bread flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.
• Recommended cycle: Basic/white bread cycle; light or medium/normal color setting.

GINGERBREAD LOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, syrup and oil. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened (batter will be thin). Pour into two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. , Bake at 325° for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

RAPID GINGERBREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Follow instructions for your bread machine.
• My machine instructs to measure ingredients in the order listed into the baking pan. (I combine the milk and egg and microwave on high for about 30 seconds before adding to the pan.).
• Insert baking pan into machine and secure pan.
• Select rapid bake setting for a 2 pound loaf.
• When cycle ends, I put the loaf into a large zup lock bag, seal the bag, and place on wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

BREAD MACHINE GINGERBREAD LOAF

Steps:

• Put ingredients into bread machine in order listed, except the raisins. Leave those aside.
• Set machine for 2 pound loaf, white bread, light crust.
• Add raisins when the machine tells you to. (It should beep -- if it starts talking to you, you've got some real problems.).
• Note: I used dried fruits not just raisins and found they added a little too much moisture because I soaked them. During the second rise I added a little more flour until the dough no longer stuck to the side of the pan.

SULTANA & GINGER LOAF (BREAD MACHINE ABM)

Steps:

• Weigh the loaf ingredients into the bread machine baking pan in the order listed. The vitamin C is optional and is added only to serve as a 'Flour Improver'.
• Replace pan into bread machine and select a program suitable for a white fruit/raisin bread.
• At the beep, (usually about five minutes before the end of the final kneading,) add the sultanas/ginger.
• When finished, place on a wire rack to cool and immediately brush top and sides with a beaten sugar/milk glaze and sprinkle lots of oatmeal and ground ginger. Although optional, the glaze at the least is recommended as it will seal the crust helps it to keep fresher for longer.
• 12 slices is approximate as it depends how thick you like the slices :) Makes a 1 1/2Lb Loaf.
• Just a thought -- -- the quantity of caraway seeds is a 'conservative' guess btw as I poured some into my hand and added what I felt looked about right. It's important ('specially for me!) to go easy on the caraway seeds though as they have such a strong flavour.

PERSIMMON-GINGER BREAD

• Sift the flour and baking soda into a medium bowl.
• Melt 1 stick of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until brown, nutty and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large heat-proof bowl, cool for 5 minutes. Add the dark brown sugar, sour cream, vanilla, vinegar, ginger, orange zest, nutmeg, eggs, 1 cup of the persimmon puree and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and whisk until completely combined.
