YOGURT BREAD
This is a beloved recipe from the files of food writer Jacquie McMahan, adapted for
the bread machine. She makes homemade yogurt in jelly glasses and sets it overnight
on her Wolf range. Though this recipe was not published in any of his books, James
Beard, well known for his love of good bread, taught Jacquie to make this bread dur-
ing a weeklong cooking class he gave at the Stanford Court Hotel, where he baked in
Fournou’s Ovens. Jacquie was one of eight student in the class, the roster of which in-
cluded food world notables such as Jeremiah Tower, Alice Waters, Joyce Goldstein,
Flo Braker, and Chuck Williams. Everyone loved feeding Beard, so during the class,
the restaurant chefs kept coming in with treats for him to taste while he was lecturing
and baking bread. This bread is pure Beard—simple ingredients that bake up whole-
some and flavorful. Eat it the day it is baked. It is a perfect sandwich bread.
