BREAD!
April 24, 2019I LOVE this bread! Whenever I make it it's a serious problem because then all I want for every meal is just bread. Oh well, I make it anyways! You can make this recipe using wheat or white flour. Both are delicious!
*** Pictures are wheat bread! My favorite is white of course though. ;)
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 6 1/2 cups flour
- butter for topping (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve yeast in the warm water with a pinch of sugar.
2. When the yeast is bubbly and foaming (literally), add the sugar, salt, oil, and 4 cups of flour and mix until smooth
3. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft smooth dough. The dough shoulder stick just slightly to your finger but not be over sticky. Knead with your hands for about 5 minutes and then roll into a giant ball.
4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turn over once to coat the top of the dough and then cover the bowl in plastic. Let rise for one hour.
5. When the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide the ball in half. Roll each half of the dough into a long rectangle. Roll the dough up, starting at the short edge, to form a cylinder that is approximately 8 inches wide. Repeat with other half.
6. Place the dough, seam side down, into a lightly greased bread pans and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise one hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake 30-35 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Place on cooling rack to let cool.
