Julie's White Bread

This is a recipe that I spent my Sunday making. I made a couple mistakes, all of which I fixed and this has been my first successful yeast bread!! It is delicious. You can substitute the flour for wheat flour, and if you have gluten add 2/3 c. and 2/3 c. of powdered milk when you add the water, sugar, salt, and oil. It isn't a must but helps keep it moist longer, especially wheat bread. It makes 3 loaves. This is really a 1/2 recipe, if you double it, it makes 6 loaves (yes, 3 x 2 = 6 :]). It is really good bread, and you can freeze it too.

3 cups HOT tap water

½ c sugar

1 TBS salt

1/4 c. oil

5 c. flour

off mixer and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Turn on mixer and add

4 c. flour

Mix 6 minutes. Move to a large well greased bowl and cover with a hot damp cloth. Let rise until double. Punch down and let rise again until double. Knead the dough and form into 3 loaves (can also make rolls or cinnamon rolls, just reduce the cooking time). Put loaves in WELL GREASED pans. Let rise just until the dough bubbles over the rim. Bake at 350 for 27-30 min. Remove from pans while still hot. Spread butter on top. :) Enjoy!!!
