FOOD PROCESSOR LOAF BREAD
Fast and easy and good. I got this recipe from my food processor recipe book about 20 years ago. It's real good and faster than the dough setting on my bread machine (although I also love my bread machine).

Steps:
- Pour the warm water into a large bowl, and whisk in 4 teaspoons of bread flour, the yeast, and the white sugar until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Allow to stand until the yeast starts to form creamy bubbles, about 5 minutes.
- Fit a dough blade into a large food processor, and place 3 1/2 cups of bread flour, the oats, whole wheat flour, salt, brown sugar, and vegetable oil into the work bowl. Start the food processor running, and slowly add enough of the water-yeast mixture to allow the dough to form a firm ball and pull away from the sides of the processor, about 1 minute. Process for another 30 seconds to knead.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and divide into 2 equal-sized pieces. Form each piece into a loaf; pinch the seams and ends closed.
- Grease 2 4x8-inch loaf pans, and place the loaves into the pans with the seam sides down. Allow to rise until the dough is 1 inch above the rim of the pans, about 1 more hour.
- While dough is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are browned, about 35 minutes. Allow bread to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks to finish cooling.

WHITE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD (FOOD PROCESSOR)
This recipe is a work in progress. My goal is to make something approximating whole grain artisan bread in my food processor, without having it become a major project. So far, I'm having a little trouble getting the bread to rise, but I'm trying different additives, rising times, etc., to achieve this goal. The recipe I started with came from Charles Van Over's book, "The Best Bread Ever: Great Homemade Bread Using Your Food Processor." Update 12/14/2009: I have about given up on trying to make whole wheat artisan bread. I would not advise using this recipe, since so far I have not had any success making something edible.

Steps:
- Place the flour, salt, wheat gluten and yeast in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Using an instant-read thermometer, adjust the water temperature so that the combined temperatures of the water and the flour give a base temperature of 130 degrees F using a Cuisinart or KitchenAid or 150 degrees F if using a Braun. With the machine running, add the oil and the water through the feed tube. Process for 20 seconds, adding the remaining water if the dough seems crumbly and dry and does not come together into a ball during this time. Continue mixing the dough another 25 seconds for a total of 45 seconds.
- Stop the machine and take the temperature of the dough with an instant-read thermometer, which should read between 75 deg. F and 80 deg. F. If the temperature is lower than 75 deg. F, process the dough for an additional 5 seconds, up to twice more, until it reaches the desired temperature. If the temperature is higher than 80 deg. F, remove the thermometer, scrape the dough from the food processor into an ungreased bowl, and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes. Check the temperature of the dough after 5 minutes; the dough should be 80 deg. F or cooler by that time.
- Remove the dough from the processor and place it in a large ungreased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours at room temperature, about 70 deg. F to 72 deg. F. It will increase in volume somewhat, but don't be concerned by how much.
- Turn onto a lightly floured work surface, and shape into a ball. Place the formed loaf on a floured baking sheet, cover the loaf, and let it proof at room temperature for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until it visibly doubles in bulk. The dough will be ready to bake when an instant-read thermometer shows it has reached an internal temperature of 60 deg. F to 62 deg. F.
- One hour before bakng, place a small pan for water on the floor of the oven, put the oven rack on the second shelf from the bottom of the oven, and place the baking stone on the rack. Preheat the oven to 475 deg. F. Transfer the bread onto a peel or onto the back of a baking sheet heavily coated with cornmeal.
- Carefully pour 1 cup of hot water onto the pan on the floor of the oven. Slide the loaf from the peel or baking sheet heavily coated with cornmeal.
- Bake the loaf for 2 minutes. Create steam by adding another cup of water to the pan on the floor of the oven. Continue baking for 18 minutes, until the crust is a dark brown. Or, the bread will be finished when it reaches an internal temperature of 205 deg. F to 210 deg. F on an instant-read thermometer. Cool the bread on a wire rack before cutting.

Tips:
- Use the right flour: Bread flour is the best choice for this recipe because it has a high protein content, which will give your bread a chewy texture.
- Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading will make the bread tough. Knead the dough just until it comes together and is smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: The bread should be baked at a high temperature (450 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first 15 minutes. This will give the bread a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
This bread is the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. It's also incredibly easy to make, thanks to the food processor. So next time you're in the mood for some homemade bread, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
