Can I use this oil in baking? I have many bread recipes that call for "oil" and I want to find something I can use besides vegetable oils.

Yes I do, the white is just like regular coconut oil. I use it in baking and topically.

I use coconut oil in most of my cooking - sauteing, frying, and baking - for the huge improvement in flavor and the health benefits. There are a couple cookie recipes where I have found that I prefer the taste of butter, and one quick bread in which I use a cheaper vegetable oil. But otherwise I have switched almost completely to coconut oil. For baking I particularly like it in my biscuits and white yeast breads.

I use it in pie crust recipes and scones, among other things. I live in Texas and you need to refrigerate the pie crust or freeze it for 10 mins before baking. Otherwise it just slides down the sides of the pie plate in the first few minutes. I got even better results when I froze it then used pie weights (beans) for a pre-baked crust. The scones showed zero difference with the coconut oil when I froze the mix before adding the milk and blending. What you need to think about is making sure the little bits of coconut oil do not melt too fast.

This is the best deal on coconut oil out there...use it for anything oil would be used in.

I am not an expert but it is used to cook popcorn and I see it use often in recipes so I would think so. I would google bread recipes with coconut oil and see what you get. Good luck

This flour is extremely fine. I would use flour for bread. I like Pillsbury, by Gold Medal us also ok. I make all sorts of bread, including Italian, with no problems. I used thus flour for Italian Cream Cake and it was beyond delicious.

I have used it in simple baking like the 1 minute flax breakfast muffin, to sweeten salad dressings, on apples in a pie, in ice box pickles with vinegar, but I am not a baker. I am sure there are recipes on internet that can help you.

A huge THANK YOU to the person who asked this question and to the person who answered it! I read the instructions in the manual several times and found nothing about the necessity of running a cycle to burn away the oils on the pan before making a loaf of bread. Luckily, I read this post when I searched for information about the machine. I had never even seen a breadmaker before I bought this West Bend Hi-Rise, and I didn't know that I should program it to go through an hour-long bake cycle prior to making my first loaf of bread. This should be listed at the beginning of the manual followed by instructions telling how to do it. A huge THANK YOU to the person who asked this question and to the person who answered it!

This is an unusual question since the yeast is a live culture that only requires regular feedings of flour and water to survive for centuries, to be used as a starter with the other ingredients in bread baking recipes. I would suggest that she go to their website "breadtopia" that has a forum and a link to their developer, Eric (eric@breadtopia.com) and ask him, I'm sure he will answer the questions as he has mine.ps: In the book "Classic Sourdoughs" by Ed Wood, he states " Do not add anything but flour and water to your culture".

I use olive oil when I make it on the stove or in an electric popper. Don't use a microwave popper though.

There is no silicone or vegetable oil used in parchment paper. The paper is processed in a way that binds the material tightly together and creates a nonstick surface.

Under no circumstances should you use Olive Oil. It has a very low smoke point. Peanut oil is the first choice, with Canola a close second choice

I just simply added water, and I have done this several times. It works. I don't think you should add oil of any kind. I did that once... it was a mess... I had to throw the dough away after adding the oil.

I have used mine for a year--exclusively for baking bread. I put flour in the pan--no oil--shake it around. Then I put the dough in the pan, let it rise, and bake. It comes out easily. I have washed by hand or in the dishwasher and no residue.

Directions indicate EMPTY and, as was stated earlier, it is to burn off excess machine oil they use. The smell of it would infuse itself into the bread. It won't harm the machine. Then use it for making the real thing next time.

I haven't used any oil at all ever. Even with eggs...it just slips right out. The only thing that is a challenge is because its so that wiggly if your cooking anything really runny, place the silicon on a cookie sheet priority filling or it will spill. I use this every week.

I have had much success using this flour for baking bread, I use a traditional recipe and oven bake my bread. I do not use a bread machine.

DennisJ, this is not Star Anise Oil which is an essential oil. This is 100% Pure Anise Oil used in baking. I hope this helps you.

The instructions said to season with vegetable oil before the first baking. I used Pam and it came out fine. Subsequent times I used nothing and they popped right out. But the oil content in the food might make a difference too.

I always use melted butter and it comes out great. Never actually used oil, because I can usually taste it in baked things.

No. Use olive oil on the board (not flour). The dough will not stick and will have no flour to absorb. The amount of oil it will absorb is too small to alter the flavor profile.
