ONE HOUR BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Stir and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to proof. You will know it is ready when it starts to form a cream foam.
• Add oil, half of the flour {2 1/4 cups} and salt. Start to mix using a dough hook {or by hand}. Add remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Then using the dough hook {or on a floured surface, if mixing by hand} knead the dough for 4-5 minutes.
• Cover the dough in the bowl with a dishtowel and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
• Divide the dough in half and place each half into a loaf pan that has been generously sprayed with non-stick spray.
• Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown {you can also tap on the top of the loaf and if it sounds hollow then it is done}.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes. Turn loaves of bread out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Cut bread into 1/2 inch slices. Use for sandwiches or toast. Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

BEST 1 HOUR BREAD

Steps:

• Pour 1/2 cup warm water into a small bowl and sprinkle with 1 tsp of the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and stir gently to combine. Set aside and allow yeast to work about five minutes while prepping the pans and ingredients in the mixer.
• Grease two bread pans. (Glass or ceramic preferred.)
• Combine 2 cups of the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients in mixer using dough hooks for a few seconds on low. (The salt in the flour will not harm the yeast.)
• Pour yeast mixture and 1 cup warm water and olive oil over the ingredients in the mixer. Mix ingredients on slow speed.
• With mixer on low, add 1 cup of warm water and then 2 cups of flour.
• After ingredients are combined, turn mixer speed to medium. If dough is too wet and sticky add up to 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons at a time while mixer is running (or while kneading) till it comes away cleanly from the sides of the bowl. Dough should still be soft, stretchy and a bit sticky.
• Mix for 5 minutes on medium. Dough should mix together and come away cleanly from the sides of the bowl during this time. Dough will be smooth at the end of mixing. Optional hand kneading: Turn dough out onto a clean, floured surface and knead turning it a quarter turn each time for 5-8 minutes till dough is smooth.
• Oil or grease hands and remover dough from bowl onto clean and lightly-floured counter or silpat and knead it 4-6 times. This is a soft dough, but if it is too sticky too handle, knead in a bit more flour.
• Divide dough evenly into two balls and shape into loaves and place in prepared pans.
• Lightly cover loaves with plastic wrap or clean dish towel and sit in a warm place to rise till dough is about double in volume up to 30 minutes.
• While dough is rising, heat oven to 400°.
• Bake loaves for 15-20 minutes, till golden brown. Turn them out onto cooling rack. (And of course while it will slice better when it cools, it is irresistible when warm out of the oven, dripping with butter and honey. Enjoy.)

BREAD, SIMPLE ONE HOUR HOMEMADE BREAD RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Mix dry ingredients. Add oil and water. Mix for 1 minute and then check the consistency of the dough. The dough should be very sticky. If it is too dry, add more water. 2. Mix for 5 minutes. (Do not add any more flour after the dough has finished mixing.) 3. Spray kneading surface with cooking spray and turn dough out onto surface. Knead dough briefly until it has a smooth even consistency (this will only take several turns of the dough to accomplish). 4. Divide dough into 2 pieces (or more if you wish to have smaller loaves) and shape loaves into desired shapes and place on greased baking sheets. Cover with a large dish towel and let rise for 25 minutes. 5. While loaves are rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. When loaves are ready to go into the oven, use a sharp knife (you can lightly spray your knife with cooking spray to prevent dragging) to make several slashes in the top. Make each cut about 1/4-inch deep at a 30 degree angle. Bake loaves for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
