Batter Breads
I am 30 years old and just discovered batter breads -- breads made with yeast that require no kneading.
And I love them! Since there are so many experienced cooks on this forum, I want all of your best batter bread recipes.
I grew up in a home with a mother who never cooked. Well, she cooked, but no one liked it nor ate it.
She was not a gourmet cook by any means, and had no clue what herbs and spices are for, nor how to make things taste palatable. At the ripe age of 12, I began taking over all the cooking, since she also went back into the workforce at that time. I'd come home from school and work on making dinner. I soon discovered the joyous world of cookbooks that had lots of scrumptious things to make. Then I discovered the wonderful world of cooking shows on television. I was unstoppable. Being a person who has always loved to eat, I was suddenly discovering that I could make good food and home cooking didn't have to taste like mom's. My brother and father gobbled my dishes up and to this day when I visit, I am the one who cooks. As an adult I discovered bread baking..... with kneading, and kneading, and hours to rise, etc. Then I was really unstoppable. I could even spend a grand total of 7 hours making the perfect croissant to go along with dinner....... but now, 3 kids later and who has time for that?!?!?!??!
Since developing this dairy allergy, I have been forced back into bread making because all store bought breads have milk except for nasty ones that I pretend to like. If i make my own, then I can substitute rice milk. The other day I happened upon a batter bread. It was a herb one, and I gave it a try. It was delicious. Today I googled up a recipe for honey biscuits. Mmmmm they were soooo good. I didn't even have to put any butter on them because they were scrumptious enough without. Now I am really ready to conquer the world, so bring it on! Give me your best batter bread recipes!
