 Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 1:36 am Post subject: Can you get rye bread? (Questions about baking bread) |
 |
|
I would like information about baking bread. I am getting a stand-alone convection oven. I've never really baked bread before.
1)Is Home Plus a good place to buy a bread pan? Is there a particular size younz recommend?
2)What kind of flour do you get in terms of brands?
3)Is there rye flour?
4)What about yeast? Is there a certain type or brand to get?
Do you have any special stuff like for rolling the dough? My goal eventually, without getting too ahead of myself, is baking myself a nice pie.
The only think I'll have with my oven is an oven pan. I want to get a bread pan. |

Rye flour is certainly out there. Its called ho-mil.
A teacher in one of my classes is a serious baking hobbyist & always brings fresh baked goods to class made from rye, whole wheat, cracked wheat, barley, etc. Lately we've enjoyed her bagels, German-style pretzel bread, some kind of braided Jewish bread, & more, & she's adamant about using healthy flours, often organic, which she sources in our small town. Seek & you'll find. Health food stores are starting to proliferate & offer lots of natural ingredients.

I've seen Rye flour on iherb.com and gmarket.
You can probably also get it from nicedeli. |

I will be happy to look Home Plus for some rye bread. I expect I would also need to mix with some kind of regular flour. Would whole wheat flour do? I'm picking up a wine bottle for a Thanksgiving party. I'll make sure to get it back:) |

I order rye flour off of iherb or go into Itaewon to pick it up.
The Homeplus rye isn't much to talk about, but it's better than white bread. I agree that a breadmaker is nice, but I actually like kneading the dough. It's not too much work. You just have to stay close to home when you want to bake. |

Ah, I found some rye at the local foreign supermarket in Gwangju. Now, I'll have to get some regular flour maybe all purpose, whole wheat flour. Any brands you recommend in the Korean stores?
Are they decent? |

| I prefer to use Bob's Red Mill, which costs a bunch more, but is organic. |

I have Bob's rye, but can find his flour at Home Plus. I don't need organic flour procured a Home Plus. However, since I won't be baking all the time. I see nothing wrong with that. |

A rice cooker works, too, and most already own one. You won't get the same crust as if you were using an oven, but it's still pretty good. Give it a go, folks! |

This information would be AWESOME if there was a way to buy a reasonably priced breadmachine in Korea. I havent seen one yet (they're usually north of 150,000W). |

Does it need to be a fancy rice cooker? Can I use one of the 40,000W types (just flip the switch)? |

| People, just buy a large toaster oven. You can get them used. It's far more versatile than a bread maker. |

...and bread makers make crappy bread to begin with. |
