CRUMPETS MUFFINS (ENGLISH)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 qt Water
2 oz Yeast
1/2 lb Potatoes
1/2 oz Salt
Flour

MUFFINS: Wash, peel boil the potatoes, rub through a
colander, add the water (just warm enough to bear the
hand in it without discomfort); then dissolve the
yeast salt in it, stir in sufficient flour to make
a moist paste. Beat it well in a deep bowl then
clear off the paste from the hands; cover over with a
clean cloth leave it to rise in a warm place. When
it has well risen, is light spongy, turn it out on
the table, dredge over with flour, then divide it
off into pieces about 3 oz in weight, roll them up
into round shapes, set them on a wooden tray, well
dusted with flour to prove. When light enough, see
that the hot plate is hot, then carefully transfer
the muffins from the tray, one at a time, using a thin
tin slice for the purpose, taking particular care not
to knock out the proof or the muffins will be spoilt.
When they have been properly cooked on one side, turn
over with the slice cook the other side. When the
muffins are done, brush off the flour, lay them on a
clean clothe or sieve to cool. To toast them, divide
the edge of the muffin all round by pulling it open to
the depth of about 1 inch with the fingers. Put it on
a toasting fork hold it before a clear fire till one
side is nicely browned, but not burnt; turn, toast
it on the other. Do not toast them too quickly,
otherwise the middle of the muffin will not be warmed
through. When done, divide them by pulling them open;
butter them slighlty on both sides, put them together
again, cut them into halves. Pile on a hot dish
send quickly to table. Time: 25 to 30 minutes to bake.
Sufficient for about 2 dozen muffins.
CRUMPETS: Proceed exactly the same as directed for
Muffins (above), but stir in only half the quantity of
flour used for them, so that the mixture is more of a
batter than a sponge. Cover over, leave for 1/2 an
hour. At the end of that time take a large wooden
spoon well beat up the batter, leave in the spoon,
cover over, leave for another 1/2 an hour. Then give
the batter another good beat up. This process must be
repeated 3 times with the intervals. When completed,
see that the hot plate is quite hot, lay out some
crumpet rings rubbed over inside with a little clean
lard on a baking tin, pour in sufficient of the
batter to make the crumpets. When cooked on one side,
turn over with a palette-knife, when done take off
on to a clean cloth to cool. Muffins crumpets should
always be served on separate dishes, both toasted
served as quickly as possible. Time: about 20 minutes
to cook. Sufficient for about 2 dozen crumpets.

Title: MWS-BREAD WITH HONEY, OAT BRAN AND TEFF WIP
Categories: Breads
Yield: 2 loaves

6 c Bread Flour
1 c Oat Bran
1/3 c Teff; uncooked seenote
2 Packages Active Dry Yeast
-2pkg = 4 1/2 ts measurement
2 ts Salt
1 3/4 c Water
1/2 c Honey; or Brown Sugar
1/3 c Butter; melted
2 lg Egg; beaten slightly

—————————GLAZE—————————
1 tb Water; mix with egg
1 Egg White
2 tb Oat Bran for top…..

Seenote: Teff; grain uncooked
In a large bowl, stir together water and Brown Sugar
or Honey. Sprinkle with Yeast and stir until it has
dissolved. Stir in Oat Bran and Teff seed. Let the
mixture stand for 15 minutes to let the Oat Bran
absorb liquid. Do all in a KitchenAid mixer if
available. Add oil and eggs.Mix very well. Stir in
Salt.
One cup at a time, mix in flour until the dough
becomes too difficult to stir. Turn out on to a “well
floured” work surface and knead until smooth and
elastic, adding flour only as necessary to keep from
sticking, about 8 minutes. It takes 4 or 5 minutes on
the KitchenAid. This recipe usually takes 6 full cups
of flour.
This is the place where I freeze 1/2 of this
bread….To Freeze: place the 1/2 recipe of this dough
into an oiled labeled gallon plastic freezer bag.
Squeeze all of the air out of the bag and seal
tightly. Freeze at once. To use; defrost several hours
until dough rises to double its frozen bulk, then
proceed…
For the half recipe of dough that you are going to
proceed with, continue.
Place the dough in a large well oiled bowl. I spray
the used KitchenAid Bowl with non-stick and throw the
dough back in, spray the top of the dough as well.
Cover with plastic wrap, or a moist towel. Let the
dough rise in a warm draft free place.
Check the rise at 45 minutes, the “perfect place”
rises this bread in 45 minutes.
Punch dough down. If you are doing this entire
recipe, divide the dough in half. Shape each half into
a loaf. This also makes a nice round loaf with a
crunchy crust…..
Pan Loaf making: beginning at one narrow end, tightly
roll up the dough to form a loaf. Pinch seam edge into
dough to seal. Lightly oil a loaf pan.
Meanwhile, place oven rack in the lower third of the
oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Place each loaf in a
prepared 8 1/2″ X 4 1/2″ X 2 1/2″ loaf pan, seam side
down. Cover, let it rise in a warm place free from
drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes .
Check the rise at 35 minutes, the “perfect place”
rises this bread in the pan, in 35 minutes.
This is the place where I make decorative slits into
the top of the loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk egg white with one tb of
water. Brush a little of the egg white mixture over
the top of the loaf and sprinkle with 2 tb Oat Bran,
or sesame seeds just before placing in the oven.
Bake for 35 minutes on a baking stone or 40 minutes
in the bread pan.
To make the crust even crustier, spray the top of the
loaf with water, and liberally spray the inside of the
over at 5 minute intervals and/or place a water filled
pie pan in the oven on a lower rack than the bread.
(boiling water added to the pie pan just before baking
makes sure you have steam….) Makes one or two
loaves, each about 18 1/2 inch slices.
