EASY BATTER BREAD
Posted in reply to a message board request. This is the recipe I used (over 40 years ago) when I made my first loaf of yeast bread. Its very simple to make, and produces a good, basic white bread for sandwiches and/or toast. If memory serves, the recipe was from the side of the Hecker's Unbleached Flour sack. Prep Time does not include the 1 to 2 hour rising time.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Stir sugar into yeast/water mixture, let mixture sit until tiny bubbles start to form.
- Add butter, salt and half the flour.
- With electric mixer on medium speed, beat batter for 2 minutes.
- Add remaining flour, stirring by hand (or on low speed) until well blended and smooth (batter will be very thick, like a very soft dough).
- Cover bowl with a tea towel, and let the batter rise in a warm draft free place for 30-60 minutes or until doubled.
- Beat the batter by hand, about 25 strokes (the dough will deflate).
- Spread batter evenly into a greased 8x3 or 9x4 inch loaf pan.
- Smooth out the top of the loaf by patting it with your floured hand.
- Cover pan, and let batter rise again (about 30-60 minutes) until dough has reached the top of the pan.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when the top is lightly tapped.
- Remove from pan.
- For a softer crust, brush the top of the hot loaf with butter.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Bread slices best when it is cooled.
BATTER BREAD- EASY YEAST BREAD- GRANDMA'S
Grandma could stir up this no-knead white yeast bread quickly and bake it fresh for same day use. Of course it still takes a while because bread must rise, and that takes time. Prep time includes rising time. Nothing smells better in the kitchen than fresh bread baking.

Steps:
- 1. Place raisins in hot water to soak for 30-60 minutes. This softens them and makes a better bread. Drain raisins and set aside. Use water from raisins in next step.
- 2. Check raisin water temperature. It should be 105-115 degrees. In a large mixer bowl, stir together raisin water, yeast and honey. Add butter, salt, and 2 cups of the flour. Beat at low speed until combined. Then increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute. Stop mixer and stir in remaining flour by hand. Cover bowl (with a towel or saran wrap, not tightly) and let rise in a warm place, until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down dough with a wooden spoon and add raisins and cinnamon. Mix by hand until combined. Spoon dough into a buttered loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover loaf pan (with a towel or saran wrap, not tightly) and let rise until doubled, but it should not reach over top of pan. Sprinkle top of loaf with cinnamon sugar.
- 3. Bake for about 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used in batter bread, but you can also use bread flour or a combination of the two. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a chewier bread.
- Use buttermilk: Buttermilk is a traditional ingredient in batter bread, and it helps to give the bread a tender and fluffy texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, and then stop.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 15-30 minutes before baking allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which results in a lighter and more tender bread.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature (400°F or higher) creates a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
Conclusion:
Batter bread is a quick and easy bread to make, and it's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover buttermilk, and it's also a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of dishes. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious bread recipe, give batter bread a try.
