Time 4h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 packages regular active dry yeast
2 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil or shortening
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

In large bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water and oil until very warm (120° F to 130° F). Add warm liquid to flour mixture; beat with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. With spoon, stir in 2 1/2 to 3 cups of the flour until dough pulls cleanly away from side of bowl.
On floured work surface, knead in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl; cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80° F to 85° F) 45 to 60 minutes or until light and doubled in size.
Grease 2 (8 x 4- or 9 x 5-inch) loaf pans with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate; divide in half. On lightly floured work surface, roll out each half of dough with rolling pin into 16x8-inch rectangle. Starting with one 8-inch side, roll up dough tightly, pressing with thumbs to seal after each turn. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal; press each end with side of hand to seal. Fold ends under loaf; place seam side down in pan. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 35 minutes or until dough fills pans and tops of loaves are about 1 inch above pan edges.
Heat oven to 375° F. Uncover dough; bake 40 to 50 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pans; place on wire racks. Brush with melted butter. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE BREAD BY HAND (WHITE OR WHEAT)

Delicious Homemade Bread by Hand (White or Wheat) image

This is homemade bread (you can do white or wheat) that doesn't require the use of a bread machine at all. It freezes well and is all around just a great recipe that always impresses and keeps my children asking for more. You can make this with wheat by substituting white flour for wheat and 1/3 cup honey for the sugar. This recipe is EASILY doubled and does perfectly. Enjoy one and freeze the other.

Time 2h31m

Yield 1 Loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups white flour
1 1/3 cups warm water (not hot but not cool either)
2 1/4 teaspoons bulk yeast (or 1 packet of yeast)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Mix yeast and warm water in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. During this time you should see bubbles appear in the water (perfectly normal).
Once yeast and water have sat for 10 minutes, add the oil, salt, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a hand mixer for 2 minutes. After the 2 minutes, stir in the rest of the flour and mix with a large spoon until you can no longer mix by spoon and continue by hand kneading as you go. Once you have all flour completely mixed in, you should have a texture that is NOT sticky and not dry (if it IS sticky add more flour and if it IS dry, add a LITTLE more water until desired consistency is reached). Roll into a dough ball.
Place in an oiled boil (must be oiled and not sprayed) and flip one time. Cover with a damp towel and place in warm environment (NOT HOT). What I do is preheat the oven to 170 and then immediately turn off while I'm mixing the dough - this leaves the oven at the perfect temperature to rise. Let rise for 1 hour OR until doubled in size.
Remove towel and dough and place dough ona lightly floured surface. Knead the dough and roll out into a large rectangle (you MAY need to lightly flour your rolling pin as well). You will now roll the rectangle back up along the short side (if you roll along the long side it will not fit in your bread pan). Pinch seams together on bottom and on ends and place seem side down into a sprayed full-size loaf pan. Place a damp towel over the loaf pan and put it back into the oven to rise a second time (again no heat on) for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven at about 24 minutes and let it rise the last 6 minutes on the counter while you preheat your oven to 370 degrees F.
Place uncovered loaf pan into the oven and bake for 30-32 minutes.
Cool on wire rack and allow cooling time before cutting. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh yeast and bread flour will produce the best results.
Make sure the water is warm enough to activate the yeast, but not too hot or you will kill it. The ideal temperature is between 105-115°F (40-46°C).
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, but do not over-knead it or the bread will be tough.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This delicious white bread recipe is easy to follow and produces a light and fluffy loaf of bread that is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating on its own. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your bread turns out perfect every time. So, preheat your oven and get started!
