First the caveats: My pressure-cooked bread tastes delicious to me, but I experiment so my results vary. Most batches wouldn't make it into a bakery. For one thing, I start with wheat berries that I turn into flour in my blender. I blend some to fine flour so it gets doughy, but some course, which gives more texture and, I hear, lowers the glycemic load or something like that. For another, I add flavors. I started with garlic and onions, then moved to banana, carrot, apple, cocao powder, etc, and various combinations, usually based on what's in season at the farmers market. The one I made over the weekend had banana, cranberry, and ginger. Here's the recipe I started with, though I use water instead of milk to keep it vegan. - 2 cups (250g) all purpose flour - 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate baking soda (not baking powder) - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 1/4 cup (270g)whole milk plain yogurt (or sour milk, or milk with 1¼ tablespoons of vinegar) - water in pressure cooker under the metal container the dough goes in Instructions: 1. Oil metal container so bread doesn't stick 2. Mix everything 3. Pressure cook high presser 15-20 minutes with 1/2 cup water under the metal container I've only done soda bread, working my way to yeast. My metal container happens to be my rice cooker bowl. I don't use the rice cooker any more, but the bowl fits perfectly in the pressure cooker. To keep the metal bowl from touching the pressure cooker's teflon, I cut some potatoes and put them in the water, so I get a few pressure-cooked potatoes in the process. These pages have pictures that helped, although my bread is much more grainy and brown: - https://www.hippressurecooking.com/pressure-cooker-bread-less-energy-less-time-real-bread https://www.hippressurecooking.com/pressure-cooker-bread-les... - http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-Bread-Anywhere%3A-%22Baking%22-bread-in-a-pressure- http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-Bread-Anywhere%3A-%22Ba...
