Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois – ACH Food Companies Inc. announces the release of a new Fleischmann’s® Yeast recipe book, Bread Breakthrough, that it is making available free (plus $1 for shipping and handling) to consumers while supplies last. To receive the free recipe book, consumers can download an order form on the website.
The 48-page Bread Breakthrough was created by Nancy Baggett, a nationally known author, who has created a number of popular recipe books. Nancy’s latest recipe book, Kneadlessly Simple, is devoted to the extraordinary No Knead bread making technique that allows anyone to become an accomplished bread baker, because the technique is extremely simple and foolproof.
With this no-knead technique, the bread dough actually kneads itself, eliminating the most cumbersome and difficult step in bread making. The technique is also far more tolerant, allowing consumers to make bread on their schedule, not like traditional yeast bread baking, where a baker is captive to the schedule of when the dough rises.
The Fleischmann’s® Yeast Bread Breakthrough recipe book contains a number of the most popular of Baggett’s Kneadlessly Simple recipes along with color photos of each recipe. The book offers a wide assortment of simple no-knead recipes for breads, rolls, pizza crusts and coffee cake.
When asked why ACH created the Bread Breakthrough recipe book and is now offering it free to consumers, Keith Dierberg, Fleischmann’s® Yeast Marketing, says, “For many years, people have been telling us that they would love to make homemade bread but felt they lacked the expertise and found the whole idea of scratch bread baking intimidating. Particularly today, with the popularity of home baking and cooking increasing, and the desire to have fresh, healthy, wholesome foods, the number of people who want to be able to bake homemade bread has grown substantially.
“Since Fleischmann’s® Yeast is the leading consumer yeast and the brand is looked to as the baking authority, we wanted to provide everyone who wanted to enjoy the aroma and delicious taste of fresh baked bread an easy way to make it. That’s why we’re so excited about the Bread Breakthrough recipe book and No Knead recipe technique.
“Hundreds of thousands of consumers are already using the technique to make homemade bread and 17.5 percent of those are people who never made homemade bread previously. Our research shows that 98 percent of the people who have made Bread Breakthrough recipes will continue to make them, and of those using the technique, more than 80 percent are increasing their total bread baking significantly.
“These recipes and new technique appeal to both current bread makers and, more importantly, overcome the barriers people claim as to why they have never made bread before, making bread baking something that everyone can do with total confidence of success. We’re proud that ACH can make this exciting technique and free recipe book available to the current and future bread makers of America.”

One of the recipes:
KNEADLESSLY SIMPLE EASY OAT BREAD
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Ready In: 14 Hours 15 Minutes
Servings: 24
Make a fully flavored artisan-style oat bread without kneading. This recipe lets the oat bread rise for a long time for maximum flavor. Or select the rise time that’s convenient for you: regular, faster, or slow.
5 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose white or bread flour, or as needed
1 1/4 cups old-fashioned or quick oats (not instant), divided
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Fleischmann’s® RapidRise or Bread Machine Yeast
1/4 cup honey or mild molasses
1/4 cup corn oil or vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups ice cold water, plus 2 tablespoons ice cold water
1. FIRST RISE: In a very large bowl, thoroughly mix flour, 1 cup oats, sugar, salt and yeast. Stir together honey, oil and ice water in separate bowl; add to dry ingredients and stir vigorously. If too dry, stir in just enough additional water to mix together; dough should be slightly stiff. If dough is very soft, stir in more flour to stiffen. Brush top of dough with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. If desired, for best flavor or convenience, refrigerate dough 3 to 10 hours; this is optional. Then let rise in a cool room 12 to 18 hours.
2. SECOND RISE: Vigorously stir dough. If necessary, stir in enough additional flour to yield a hard-to-stir consistency. Generously grease two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oats in each; tip pans back and forth to spread oats. Using oiled kitchen shears or serrated knife, cut dough in half. Put each half in pan, smoothing top of dough. Brush tops with oil. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oats over each; press down to imbed. Cover pans with greased plastic wrap.
3. LET RISE USING ANY OF THESE METHODS: For a 2- to 3-hour REGULAR RISE let stand at warm room temperature; for a 45-minute- to 2-hour FASTER RISE, put in a turned-off microwave with 1 cup boiling water; for SLOW RISE, refrigerate up to 24 hours, then put in warm room. As dough nears plastic, remove it; continue until dough is 1/2-inch above pan rim.
4. BAKING: Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 50-60 minutes, until tops are well browned. Cover with foil, bake 10-15 minutes more, until skewer inserted in center comes out with only a few particles on tip (or until center registers 208 degrees to 210 degrees F). Bake 5 minutes more to ensure center doneness. Cool 15 minutes in pan. Turn loaves onto rack to finish cooling.
5. SERVING/STORING: Best served at room temperature or toasted. Store airtight at room temperature 3 days; may be frozen, airtight, for up to 2 months.
