ingredients
directions
- Sprinkle yeast in 1/4 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar.
- Let rest 5 minutes.
- Mix in remaining ingredients and 1/2 the flour.
- Beat well with wooden spoon, slowly stir in remaining flour. (When adding flour I start with a full cup, as the dough takes shape I only add a 1/2 cup at a time. Too much flour at once can make for very dry tough bread.)
- Knead 8 minutes and add more flour if sticky.
- Let rise until double in bulk (about 2 hour). Punch down.
- Let rest 5 minutes.
- Shape into loaves or rolls and place in 2 greased medium (8.5 inch x 4.5 inch) bread pans or 2 round 8" cake pans for rolls; about 7 rolls in each pan.
- Let raise until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Bake at 350'F 35 for rolls or 45-50 minutes for bread.
- Brush crust with butter while still warm.

This is a really good bread recipe. i tried to make rolls with it and it didn't work out all that well, i'm not sure why. But i made bread bowls with it and they are awsome!!! -
This is like my Aunt Mary's.... loved it! -
This is first bread recipe I tried. I made rolls (14 in all) in round pans and they turned out awesome. I will definitely use this recipe again. Much less involved than most bread recipes

I liked this recipe, because it was pretty easy to make, though it took a bit of careful reading of the instructions and some head math. Overall, it created a very delicious white loaf, though I was using all-purpose flour, and the result was a bit heavier. V. good recipe, in all. Oh, for the record, this recipe makes 1 (one) loaf. -
I think this is a decent bread recipe, but I think bread recipes with bread flour taste better. If ya don't have bread flour this is the way to go.

My passion is my wonderful husband and homeschooling my two teen sons. It's a good thing I like to cook because they all have "man size" appetites!
