Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 scant Tbs. active dry yeast, mixed with 1 Tbs. flour and 1 Tbs. sugar
2 c. warm water (about 110°)
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil or chicken fat
1/2 c. mashed potatoes or 1/4 c. instant potato flakes mixed with 1/4 c. water
2 tsp. salt
5 1/2 - 6 1/2 c. white bread flour or all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix 1 Tbs. flour, 1 Tbs. sugar, and yeast in your KitchenAid mixing bowl.
  • Add warm water. Stir, and let it rest for about 5 min.
  • Once the yeast mixture is looking creamy and bubbly, add the oil, sugar, potatoes, and salt. Stir.
  • Add 4 c. of flour and knead on low speed.
  • Continue kneading for 4 minutes on speed 2, slowly adding flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • When finished kneading, the sides of the bowl should be looking fairly clean. Drizzle a bit of oil into the side of the bowl and let the mixer spread the oil to grease the sides.
  • Lightly cover the dough with a dish towel, and let it rest to rise for about an hour.
  • Grease 2 9x5" loaf pans.
  • Punch dough down. Butter your hands and knead the dough for about a minute. Divide the dough in half and shape it into two loaves. Poke the tops with a fork to remove air bubbles.
  • Place loaves into greased pans. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have risen about 1 inch above the pans.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
  • Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes, brush the tops with butter, and remove from the pans. Enjoy a delicious slice of warm fresh bread!
  • Store in airtight bags. And you can freeze one loaf to keep it fresh.

My husband's ancestors were Amish and Mennonite. This delicious recipe is adapted from an old Amish recipe, but made in the bread machine.

Time 4h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ¾ cups bread flour
¼ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
18 tablespoons warm water

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select White Bread cycle; press Start.
  • When the dough has raised once and second cycle of kneading begins, turn machine off. Reset by pressing Start once again. This gives the dough two full raising cycles before the final raising cycle prior to baking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be.
  • Make sure your yeast is fresh. Old yeast will not produce a good rise.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a good texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce gas, which will make the bread light and fluffy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Amish homemade bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings. It is a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little care and attention, you can easily make Amish homemade bread at home.
