We must have bread. So, we had bread, and it was awesome. I've always cheated in the past and made bread in the breadmaker. At the very least, I've made the dough in the breadmaker and then transferred it to a pan and made buns. But this time I wanted to do it old school. So, a recipe was procurred for me, and I went to town. The only downside was the arthritis flare up part way through, but we survived, and the bread was delicious. I can't wait to make more.
I've decided to share the recipe:
5 1/2 cups flour
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Instant Yeast (Unless you don't like big bread, then drop it to 1 1/2)
1 1/2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
2 1/4 Cups Warm Water
Combine and Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Add oil and water together and mix until combined and a good sticky dough consistency. Depending where you live, you may need more or less water. The dough should stick to your hands while you're mixing, but should still be able to peel off. I mixed this dough by hand for about 6 minutes. Might go faster if you have a mixer.
Separate the dough into 2 equal balls and knead. Place kneaded dough onto a greased baking sheet and form into loaf, or into a greased bread pan. Let rise in a draft free warm place for about 15-20 minutes. Bake at 350F for 23-25 minutes. Enjoy!
