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.
Ingredients
- 5-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated 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
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix until evenly combined.Add the oil and warm water. Mix until a soft, manageable dough forms. Knead for several minutes by hand or with a stand mixer using the dough hook.Divide the dough in half and shape into two loaves. Place into greased loaf pans.Allow the dough to rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.Preheat the oven to 375°F.Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, or until the loaves are golden and sound hollow when tapped.Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack before slicing.Makes 2 loaves.
Notes
- Water should be warm to the touch, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.This bread freezes well once completely cooled.For a softer crust, brush the tops lightly with butter after baking.If your oven has a proofing setting, it can be used instead of the warm oven method.
