Cake Mix Bread
Posted by Schmitty
1 1/4 C Warm water
2 Tbsp. Butter or margarine (not lite margarine)
1 C Yellow cake mix
2 1/2 C Flour
2 tsp. Dry yeast
Method:
Try using different cake mixes for different flavors. This makes a light uniform
loaf of bread. Cycle: White and timer.
I make the dough in my bread machine, pat it out and add raisins and frozen
miniature marshmallows. Roll it up jelly-roll fashion - press it together well
and bake in my long Wilton loaf pan. I have baked this in a 2lb coffee can but
if you're not careful the marshmallows will melt and drip down the sides of the
can so be sure to place an old pan underneath to catch the drips. (I have gotten
busy and had it push a plate off the top of the can as it rises). The melted
marshmallows leave pockets of sweetness (tried sugar cubes but they make your
teeth fall out it's so sweet and some do not always melt). Last night I made
this bread and had some leftover cinnamon and nut sprinkle which I added to the
center before I rolled it up. I used too many raisins (1 cup) and the weight
made the loaf inside the crust fall on one side - tho the top bread crust was
beautiful. I would add not much more than 1/2 cup raisins (1 cup is too much!).
(I also added 2 tbsp. dried potato flakes).
