(I guess this makes me the bread winner in the house?)
So, even though I made this recipe the other week I never documented it.
Recipe:
(makes 2 loaves)
5 3/4- 6 1/4 Cups all purpose flour
1 package of active dry yeast (or 1 Tbs of active yeast in the jar -- this is what I do)
2 1/4 Cups of Milk
2 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs Butter
1 1/2 Tsp Salt
1. In a large mixing bowl combine 2 1/2 Cups of flour and the active yeast; set aside.
In a medium sauce pan heat and stir milk, sugar, butter, and salt just until warm (120-130F) and butter almost melts. Add milk mixture to dry mixture and stir with wooden spoon (that's what I do) - or beat with electric mixer on high for 3 mins (scraping sides). Add as much of the remaing flour as possible and stir in with wooden spoon.
2. Turn dough out into a lightly floured surface and knead in the best you can to made a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 mins) Shape dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased pan - turning once to grease the surface of the dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place covered with a towel for about 1 hour, or until double in size. (45-60 mins).
3. Punch dough down turn dough out into a lightly floured surface, divide dough in half, cover and let rest 10 mins. Meanwhile lightly grease 8x4x2" loaf pans.
4. Shape dough into loaves pans.
5. Place the shaped dough in a warm place, covered and let rise till double in size (I always skip this and just let it rest for 10 mins then sick them in the oven)
6. Bake at 375F for 40 mins, or until bread sounds hollow. (tap the top of the bread with your fingers) I find mine are cooked in about 23 mins. Just watch your oven.
7. Remove from pans, and cool on wire rack.
8. Thank Ashley and then devour hot bread with honey, jam or butter. Mmmmm
