One hour bread

Simple One Hour Homemade Bread

Makes 2 loaves

5 1/4 cups white bread flour
2 – 4 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. (rounded) saf-instant yeast
1 1/2 Tbsp. oil
2 cups warm water (somewhere between 100 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit)

1. Mix dry ingredients.  Add oil and water.  Mix for 1 minute and then check the consistency of the dough.  The dough should be very sticky.  If it is too dry, add more water.

2. Mix for 5 minutes.  (Do not add any more flour after the dough has finished mixing.)

3. Spray kneading surface with cooking spray and turn dough out onto surface.  Knead dough briefly until it has a smooth even consistency (this will only take several turns of the dough to accomplish).

4. Divide dough into 2 pieces (or more if you wish to have smaller loaves) and shape loaves into desired shapes and place on greased baking sheets.  Cover with a large dish towel and let rise for 25 minutes.

5. While loaves are rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  When loaves are ready to go into the oven, use a sharp knife (you can lightly spray your knife with cooking spray to prevent dragging) to make several slashes in the top.  Make each cut about 1/4-inch deep at a 30 degree angle.  Bake loaves for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

6-7 Cups lukewarm water
2 T Salt
1/2 C oil
1 C sugar
13 - 16 C flour
1 C Instant powdered milk
1 C potato flakes
2 Tb SAF yeast

Mix warm water, sugar and yeast in mixing bowl.  When the yeast begins to grow, add salt, oil, powdered milk and potato flakes.  Begin mixing.  Add flour a cup at a time.  When the dough starts leaving the side of the bowl, stop and see if it is slightly sticky.   I then oil a large bowl and put the kneaded dough in and then turn it with the oil side up.  Put a dishtowel over the bowl and let it double in size.  Once it has doubled, make your bread into loaves or rolls.  Let it raise again and then bake at 350 until golden brown.
