JAMES BEARD'S BASIC HOME-STYLE BREAD
"Beard on Bread" was one of the very first cookbooks I ever purchased. I found his recipes to be quite reliable. This recipe uses less yeast than you might think is needed - the slower rise helps develop the taste of the bread. Beard describes this as a quite light bread, rather fine in texture and much enjoyed when fresh with a generous spreading of butter and preserves. Also popular for sandwiches and toast. Please note the amount of salt - Beard tended to salt a bit heavily, but I am posting as he wrote it. Posting this in response to a request.

Steps:
- Add the yeast to 1/2 cup of the warm milk, along with 2 tbl sugar, and stir well until the yeast in completely dissolved. Allow the yeast to proof.
- Place the remaining milk, butter and salt in a bowl. (Beard liked a lot of salt, and I would use less). Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, with a wooden spoon.
- After the third cup, add the yeast mixture. Continue stirring in flour until the mixture is rather firm, which should take about 4 to 5 cups.
- Remove the dough to a floured board and knead, adding more flour as necessary, until it is supple, satiny and no longer sticky.
- Butter a bowl and place the dough in it, turning to coat all sides with the fat. Cover and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Deflate the dough by punching firmly two or three times, return to the floured board, and knead 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Divide into two equal parts and shape into loaves. Place in well-buttered 9x5x3 in loaf tins, cover, and let rise again until doubled in bulk.
- Slash the loaves with a sharp knife and brush with lightly beaten egg white or water.
- Bake in a 400 deg. oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped with the knuckles.
- Remove the loaves from the pans and put them back in the oven a few minutes longer to become crisped.

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients together.
- Fold in cream until it makes a soft dough that can be easily handled. (You may need to add up to a full cup of cream).

- I make these as drop biscuits: Take a large mound of dough (one heaping tablespoonful) and dip into melted butter.
- Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray. Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Melt butter and chocolate. Remove from heat. 2. Add 3 beaten eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Slowly add 1 cup flour. 3. Pour into 9X9" pan (greased and floured). Bake at 350F for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your brownies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
