I saw "you mix up all your ingredients in your BM" and was really confused couldn't figure out why people were mixing things in poo lol I guess in this case BM means buttermilk?Kim in ORFrom: hatchjoyce <Joyce_Handy@...>Subject: Re: OT: I am officially hooked and need some advice Date: Monday, March 14, 2011, 9:16 PM

Lea Ann, yes, you mix up all your ingredients in your BM except for the yeast and the salt and then let it sit overnight. A few TBSPs of your liquid should be either vinegar or whey and you are basically soaking your flour. (Unplug, so the memory goes off.) In the AM just plug the machine back in and turn it on with the yeast and salt in it.

See Nourishing Traditions "Yeasted Buttermilk Bread" p.493.

Here is a link to a recipe that I tried from at Kitchen Stewardship. I think her recipe has too much liquid--you can see that I've posted there...

She has the right idea, but it is really silly to mix it by hand when your BM will do it. The only reason that she leaves aside ANY flour is that she has her machine set to turn on automatically and make the bread before she wakes up. (I think she has a more updated post about BM bread as she was experimenting with many other WW Bread Recipes.)

also has many posts on various soaking media; vinegar versus whey, etc. She is very inquisitive and does lots of interesting food experiments that she shares on her blog.

Can you give me some advice on where to start and how to learn more about this? I have a bread machine but don't know if I will be able to use this for this type of bread making.
