MANKOMO'S FARMHOUSE BREAD

This bread is what we in South Africa would term plaasbrood - farm bread. You know the one, those loaves made by generations of farmer's wives where no written recipe really exists. No bread machine needed for this, kneading takes all of 10 minutes with two rising periods. Delicious. The recipe appears in Quiet Life, a Buddhist recipe book.

2 (1/4 ounce) packets yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons shortening
3 1/3 cups warm water
10 -12 cups flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and 1 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl. Let rest 10-15 minutes.

  • Place in preheated oven at 375 degrees and bake until golden brown (about 35 Minutes).
  • This recipe also works well halfed.
  • For whole wheat bread, substitute 4 cups of whole wheat flour mixed with 6 to 8 cups of white flour.
  • I cool slice and freeze the extra laoves for later.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will result in better flavor and texture for your bread.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for ensuring the correct consistency and rise of your bread.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop gluten and make the bread chewy.
  • Proof the dough in a warm place. This will allow the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the bread to rise.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will create a crispy crust.
  • Reduce the oven temperature and continue baking until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
