Mix-and-match bread ideas

People have asked for my bread recipes, and I don't exactly have any (except for my challah recipe here). When I bake loaf bread, I use Mark Bittman's bread recipe for inspiration. You can read my adaptation, with instructions, here. I do not use a bread machine, but I do allow my food processor to do the kneading.

Rather than making Bittman's bread as written, though, I like to try including different ingredients each time. So here's an ingredient idea chart (note that I have reduced the salt from 2 tsps in Bittman's recipe to just 1 tsp, which seems to be enough). Use anything you like from the first column; add anything you like from the second; choose what sounds good to you from the fourth, fifth, and sixth--or come up with your own ideas.

This "recipe" makes one 8.5" x 4.5" loaf that weighs 1.5 to 2 pounds. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. If that makes the crust too brown, turn the heat down to 325 for the last 20 minutes.

1 lb – 500 gm bread flour	1.5 tsp active dry yeast	1 tsp salt	2–4 Tbl sugar	2 Tbl butter	1 ¼ C warm milk
or white whole wheat flour	or use 1 tsp and let rise overnight in refrigerator		or honey (decrease liquid)	or canola oil	or water
or stone ground whole wheat flour	or use 1 packet and watch very carefully—it will get bubbles		or brown sugar		or warmed applesauce
or a mixture of flours, possibly including 1 C rye or oat flour			or molasses (decrease liquid)		or bananas
or ½ C corn meal + flour to equal 1 lb or 500 gm			or no sugar at all, but use fruit for all or part of liquid		or plain yogurt
or ½ – 1 C oatmeal + flour to equal l lb or 500 gm					or buttermilk
or add nuts and/or raisins to flour before spinning in food processor					or one beaten egg + 1 C liquid
