Family Favorite Bread
Have you ever made bread? I always thought it would be hard. Do not be intimidated! It really is easy. I am always looking for recipes that are quick and delicious. With this Family Favorite Bread Recipe you can learn how to make homemade bread just one hour!! Once you make sandwiches with it you might not go back to the store brand. It is so good right out of the oven with fresh butter and jam.
Ingredients
- 2 cups very warm water
- 1 pkt rapid rise yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 3/4-5 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Stir and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to proof. You will know it is ready when it starts to form a cream foam.
- Add oil, half of the flour {2 1/4 cups} and salt. Start to mix using a dough hook {or by hand}. Add remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Then using the dough hook {or on a floured surface, if mixing by hand} knead the dough for 4-5 minutes.Divide the dough in half and place each half into a loaf pan that has been generously sprayed with non-stick spray.Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown {you can also tap on the top of the loaf and if it sounds hollow then it is done}.Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes. Turn loaves of bread out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.Thank you Practically Homemade this is our Family Favorite Bread!Enjoy!
