I didn't know there was such a thing as a yeast cake....I just know the ones I grew up eating always reminded me more of a bread than a cake

I'm just getting started making yeast breads and would like to know if anyone has some favorite bread-making cookbooks they could recommend. I successfully made a wonderful loaf of homemade bread today....for, what else? Hot turkey sandwiches! :chef: It gave me enough confidence to delve into...

well the rolls were so-so. They were kind of dry. But I had a bit of a victory today because I decided to make a loaf of bread. It got absolutely delicious! Even my husband couldn't believe it! LOL I think I have my technique and ingredient-adding sequence down now. I made notes in the cookbook...

well, trial number 2......much better! Except.....I FORGOT THE SUGAR!!!! LOL But they look beautiful, the filling didn't leak as much, and the dough was easier to handle since I kneaded it with my mixer for a full 6 minutes. Hopefully they'll be okay. I haven't tasted them because I'm saving...

Thanks for your reply. Actually I didn't even do the nut filling. I should have mentioned that. I did one roll with poppy seed and the other with apricot preserves. The apricot one REALLY fell apart. I actually think I over-filled it. "also, the recipe calls for AP flour but bread flour (hard...

I'm trying to make Hungarian/Polish nut and poppy seed rolls. I found this recipe in Taste of Home and tried it this week. I followed it to the letter and it fell apart during baking. Although it was tasty, it didn't look pretty, didn't hold up to the fillings, and fell apart when trying to move...

I've been making Black Magic Cake for years, but recently I've begun having problems with my cake sinking in the middle. I thought I was using too much baking soda, but I was extra careful this time and it sank again anyway. I've traced the problem to my cocoa powder. I've recently started using...
