One Minute Bread Recipes

FAST BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat milk to 110ºF-115ºF
• Combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and milk in the bowl of your stand mixer with the dough hook attached and mix for one minute
• Add in salt and melted butter
• Add in a 1/4 cup more flour if the dough is not sticking to the bowl because of the butter. If the dough is still not sticking to the bowl, add in 1-2 Tablespoons of water.
• Mix for 5 minutes on speed 2
• After 5 minutes, take a piece of dough and stretch it between your fingers. If you can make a very thin "window" that does not tear then you have developed enough gluten and you can shape your dough.
• If the window tears, then mix for 2 more minutes.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 4-5 turns until you can form a smooth ball
• Coat a large bowl in a little olive oil
• Place the dough top side down into the bowl to get the top of the dough covered in oil then flip it over. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm area for 25 minutes to rise until the dough doubles in size (about 25 minutes) *see notes*
• Preheat your oven to 375ºF
• Divide your dough into two loaves (or more if you want to make hoagie's or rolls)
• Let your loaves rest for 5 minutes
• Brush your loaves with egg wash to promote a nice golden brown color
• Use a sharp knife to make three slashes at a 30º angle in the top of the loaf, about 1/4" deep. These slashes make the loaves look nice and also keeps the crust from tearing while it bakes in the oven.
• Bake your loaves for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. You can also use a thermometer to check the center of your bread. If the temperature reads 190º - 200º your bread is done.

ONE MINUTE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Mix Water & Yeast Pour the warm water into the medium-size mixing bowl and stir in the yeast with a spoon. No need to be particular, just dump and slosh.
• 2. Add Flour And Salt Add flour and salt to your bowl of yeasty water. This, after measuring out the flour, presents another prime opportunity to get flour on your person. This will be regarded by many as a sign of your culinary determination. You'll need such signs because anybody who actually watches you make the bread will think you're one of the laziest bakers in existence.
• 3. Stir Into A Heavy Batter Use a spoon. You could use your hands if you wanted but you probably didn't wash your hands before starting this anyhow. Start with a quick run about around the perimeter of the bowl with your spoon. A few quick strokes through the middle and you should have a heavy batter. If it looks too thick to be pancake batter and not thick enough to be playdough, you're right on target.
• 4. Set It And Nearly Forget It Cover your project with a hand towel or plastic wrap and set in a safe place for a few hours. After the dough has rested for 8 to 12 hours, it will have nearly doubled in size. (If you add a bit of sugar at the start and you're in a hurry, you can rush this process but I don't recommend it for your first try.)
• 5. Preheat Oven & Prepare Your Pan There's a lot of room for variation at this stage. The goal is to place the dough onto a surface that will keep it from falling through the oven rack and not stick on. I use an old cookie sheet sprinkled with flour and corn meal. You can use a buttered pan, pizza stone, or baking paper. It's up to you. The flour/cornmeal method takes only a few seconds. Before you start prepping your pan/stone, set your oven to 400F.
• 6. Pour Out The Batter This is the fun part! Uncover the bowl of dough and slowly pour it out onto the pan you just prepared for it. You'll want to use a spoon to guide the dough into place and get the last bits out of the bowl. The dough will be very wet and sticky. That's okay! Get the dough out onto the pan.
• 7. Add Spices (If Needed) & Place Bread Into 400F Oven If you're trying to stay within the one-minute prep, you probably won't have time to sprinkle some of your favorite herbs onto your ciabatta before baking. If you're not worried about time, some dried oregano, basil, and rosemary make a nice addition.
• 8. Remove Your Ciabatta From The Oven Check on your ciabatta after about 25 minutes. Once it's golden brown on top and looks good to eat, take it out of the oven and set it aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. You can cut into it immediately but if you do it'll collapse and won't look as pretty.
• 9. Slice & Enjoy Move your ciabatta off the pan or baking stone and onto a proper cutting board for demolition and devouring. Ciabatta is famous as a sandwich bread but, like most breads, it's absolutely delicious right out of the oven.

SIMPLE CRUSTY BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl or plastic container, mix yeast and salt into 3 cups lukewarm water (about 100 degrees). Stir in flour, mixing until there are no dry patches. Dough will be quite loose. Cover, but not with an airtight lid. Let dough rise at room temperature 2 hours (or up to 5 hours).
• Bake at this point or refrigerate, covered, for as long as two weeks. When ready to bake, sprinkle a little flour on dough and cut off a grapefruit-size piece with serrated knife. Turn dough in hands to lightly stretch surface, creating a rounded top and a lumpy bottom. Put dough on pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal; let rest 40 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough or refrigerate it.
• Place broiler pan on bottom of oven. Place baking stone on middle rack and turn oven to 450 degrees; heat stone at that temperature for 20 minutes.
• Dust dough with flour, slash top with serrated or very sharp knife three times. Slide onto stone. Pour one cup hot water into broiler pan and shut oven quickly to trap steam. Bake until well browned, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Add 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide in half. Roll each portion into an 8-in. x 5-in. rectangle. , Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal.
