Quick & Easy One Hour Bread
I made this last night because I had a craving for some serious carbs. This is now my favorite bread recipe. These turned out perfect. This is the best recipe for even the newest baker.
- 5-1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 packets dry yeast (or 41/2 tsp)
- 2 cups very warm water–not hot
- 1/3 cup oil
In a mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Mix. Pour in oil and warm water. I used my kneading attachment and let knead for a few minutes. The dough was perfect–soft and manageable. Preheat oven to 170*. Place a small pan of hot water in oven. Meanwhile, divide dough in half. Shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Turn oven off. Place loaves in oven and let rise for about 30 minutes or until double in size.
Remove loaves and pan of water. Preheat oven to 375*. If you have a double oven, you can just preheat the other oven and leave the bread in the 1st oven. Bake bread for 25-30 minutes. Makes 2 loaves. LOVE! LOVE!
