Easy Bread recipe

Easy bread recipe




Home Made Bread

Homemade Bread
1½ cups warm water
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
3½ - 4 cups flour


In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy. Add the oil to this mixture



Add in 1-2 cups of the flour and salt. Mix and keep adding in the remaining flour in ½ cup increments until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes on a floured surface until it is soft and elastic.
*Edit I found it easier to make a hole like a volcano in the flour, pour the wet mix in and mix it this way*



Put the dough in a lightly greased bowl ( I used PAM Cooking spray), cover, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately an hour until it has doubled in volume.





Deflate the dough and shape it into two loaves. Place them at least 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet (again I used PAM Cooking spray) and cover with a DRY cloth/tea towel. Let it rise again in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes until it has doubled in size.
Or place in loaf pans. I like the cookie sheets cause then my bread come out shaped like rye bread :)



Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

***This recipe makes super delish buns too!
Make double the recipe when its time for the loaf making, divide into 3 make 2 loaves and 12 buns


Cut about 1 - 2 inches wide, and put into a lightly greased Cupcake tin
EDIT: *Or You can also roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet, press the balls down slightly, and you get more of a hamburger shaped bun this way*
