Homemade Bread
- Number of Servings: 54
Ingredients
4 1/2 tsp. Rapid Rise Yeast1/4 c. warm water2 1/4 c. water3/4 c. milk3 Tbsp. butter3 Tbsp. sugar1 tsp. salt7 c. (or so) bread flour
Measure yeast into 1/4 c. warm water. Let yeast on top of water, unmixed, until milk mixture is made and warm to the touch.
In a medium saucepan, mix 2 1/4 c. water and 3/4 c. milk and heat enough to melt 3 Tbsp. butter, and dissolve 3 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. salt. Let cool enough where you can comfortably stand to keep your finger in it (not burning).
Mix yeast into the milk mixture.
In a large bowl add the bread flour gradually, stirring to combine. Add the flax seed in as well. Once you can no longer combine by spoon, dump mixture our on a floured surface. Knead the dough until about 7 c. of flour is incorporated. The texture of the dough should not be too sticky but not too tough.
Place dough in mixing bowl and cover with wet warm tea towel and allow to rise to double.
When risen, punch dough down with fist. Divide into 3 sections.
Take each section our and roll on a floured surface until long and narrow, in order to get rid of any air pockets. Roll of dough and pinch at overlapping end. Place in greased loaf pan.
Heat over to 350F. Cover with wet, warm tea towel again and allow to rise slightly (amount of time it takes to preheat oven).
Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool. Once cooled, slice into 18 slices per loaf. You can keep a loaf out to eat right away and freeze the other two.
Serving Size: 3 loaves with 18 slices a piece (1 slice serving)
