Easy Bread

This recipe was created out of necessity when my family and I were going through a tough time and it has remained a delicious inexpensive staple in our home. You can also adds things to it to make it even more accommodating.

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups Hot Water
  2. 1 tsp Instant Yeast
  3. 4 cups Flour
  4. 2 tsp Salt

Steps

  1. In a bowl thoroughly mix the yeast, salt, and flour. Then slowly pour and mix in the hot water.

  2. Dough should be smooth and elastic and not stick to your fingers. If it is sticky then add more flour by very small bits.

  3. Knead your dough with a dough hook or your hands for 10 minutes.

  4. Place dough in a large bowl coated in oil. Coast the top of the dough with oil as well.

  5. Cover and let the bread rise for 4 hours.

  6. Place dough on a clean floured surface and roll out until about 8″x11″ (the size of a sheet of paper). Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

  7. Oil the inside of a bread pian and roll up your dough. Place the dough in the pan seam side down. Again,coat the top in oil and cover. Let rise for 1-2 hours in a warm spot.

  8. Preheat oven to 350F and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Bread may not get really golden but 45 minutes has always been spot on for me.

  9. If you like your bread softer them place it in a plastic bag or container after it cool just a little.
