This is a very, very tasty bread. The Kalamata olive adds a lot of flavor to this bread. Again it is so easy and simple to make it with the bread machine. This bread is great with pasta.
Ingredients:
¼ cup brine from olive and complete to ¾ cup with water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups bread flour
¾ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ tablespoon gluten
¾ teaspoon dry basil
1¼ teaspoons yeast
½ cup Kalamata olives roughly chopped
Preparation:
Follow the instructions of your bread machine. On the Zojirushi (1 lb), place the brine and the water first at the bottom of the bucket and add the dry ingredients except the Kalamata olives. Select the setting for French bread. Once the machine beeps add slowly the olives and let the cycle finish. The Kalamata olive gives the bread a very nice flavor and it goes well with any kind of cheese.
The gluten enhances the elasticity of the bread by giving an extra texture to the bread.
Kalamata olives are named after a city in Greece, Kalamata. The city of Kalamata is well known not only for the succulent dark olives but for the honey-eyed figs and pasteli, which is a sesame seed candy.
This raisin cinnamon bread recipe is very simple. Actually I made it because my husband wanted to make some French toast with it. So here I am…and with the slittle Zojirushi bread machine sure it is very easy. Have your butter ready!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup of water
2 cups bread flour
1 ½ tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dry milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon yeast
1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup raisins
Method:
Place the water first at the bottom of the bucket and add all the dry ingredients except for the cinnamon and raisins. I like to add the raisins and cinnamon 3 minutes after it beeps, so the raisin is no “totally crushed” by the kneading blade. After the addition of the raisins and cinnamon let the machine continues its cycle. Enjoy your bread while is warm or store in the refrigerator for French toast.
Did you know that raisins like prunes and apricots are high in certain antioxidants which prevent the damage caused by the free radicals to cells in your body. Moreover, raisins has high content of Iron (15%) and Potassium (16%) and low content of sodium (1%)
This is a very easy and simple yam bread…yet is very colorful due to the yam and very tasty. You can use as a sandwich bread or just with some butter on it.
Ingredients:
1 medium yam
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
2 ¼ cups bread flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1½ teaspoons yeast
Method:
Cook the yam in the microwave oven by wrapping the yam in a paper towel and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes depending of the strength of your microwave oven. With a fork, remove the yam (you don’t need to smash, since the bread machine will do when at the kneading cycle).
Follow the instructions of your bread machine. In the mini bakery Zojirushi, add all liquid ingredients first, the yam (approximately 1/3 cup) and the dry ingredients. Set the machine to regular bread and crust control to light. The dough will be slightly sticky…do not worry. After the bread is done remove it from the baking pan and let it cool before slicing it! You will have a very rich color bread that taste great!
The “meat” of the yam ranges in color from white or yellow to purple or pink in ripe yams. Yams are rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese. The 3 first compounds mentioned promote good health and the high potassium and low concentration of sodium is likely to produce a good balance between potassium-sodium in your body protecting you against osteoporosis and heart disease. Furthermore, yam has a lower glycemic index than potato, indicating that yam provide a more nourish form of energy and give a better protection against obesity and diabetes.

Did you know that gluten is composed by two proteins, gliadin and glutenin? These proteins are insoluble in water, therefore can be obtained by washing away the starch from the wheat seed.
