DIRECTIONS
Bread Machine Method
Have all ingredients at room temperature and place in pan in the order listed. Select the dough/manual cycle. Do not use the delay timer. Do not close the lid. This is a batter so you will have to use a rubber spatula to help the dry ingredients mix completely with the wet. When the machine has completed the first kneading, stop the machine. Pour the batter into a bowl; cover and refrigerate batter several hours or overnight.
Hand-Held and Stand Mixer Methods
Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in mixing bowl. Combine milk, water, and oil; heat to 120° to 130°F. Add liquid ingredients to dry mixture; blend on low speed. Add eggs. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. Cover bowl; refrigerate batter several hours or overnight.
Food Processor Method
Have all ingredients at room temperature. Place dry ingredients in processing bowl with steel blade. Process briefly to blend. While motor is running, add oil, eggs, water, and milk. Process just until mixed. Pour batter into a bowl; cover and refrigerate batter several hours or overnight.
Baking
When ready to serve, stir down batter. Bake on waffle iron using medium/high heat. Serve hot with butter and syrup, or your favorite toppings.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) in place of Active Dry Yeast in your recipes. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Use equal amounts when baking using traditional methods. When using the Bread Machine, use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.
