Country Bread





Makes 2 loaves


4 to 4-1 / 2 cups all-purpose flour1 / 3 cup nonfat dry milk powder2 envelopes FLEISCHMANN鈥橲 RapidRise Yeast1-1 / 2 teaspoons salt1-1 / 4 cups water1 / 2 cup plain yogurt3 tablespoons vegetable oil1 beaten egg white


1 tablespoon cornmeal





Directions In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, milk, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, yogurt and oil until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.








Divide dough in half; roll to 15 x 10-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.





With sharp knife, make slashes, 1 / 4-inch deep across top of each loaf. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake at 400oF for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack.

Hope the helps..........
Simple, perfect bread, my family loves it! I make it all the time, and it's yet to fail me!


2 pkgs. rapid rise yeast (red star is great, %26amp; check date!)


6 C flour


2 Tsp sugar


2 tsp. salt


2 cups very warm water


1 stick melted butter (real butter tastes best)





Add yeast to warm water and let sit until foamy, approx. 10 min. In large mixing bowl combine 4 cups of the flour (reserving 2 C), the salt, and the sugar and stir until combined. Add yeast and melted butter, and mix well, while slowly adding another cup of the flour. Continue to mix until dough begins to pull away from sides of the bowl. Take part of the remaining flour and dust board (or counter) and turn dough out onto it, sprinkle a little more of the remaining flour at a time, while kneading the dough. You made need to use a hair more flour than is left but careful not to make it too ';dry';. Knead for about 5-7 min, then place into a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel in a warm spot. (i.e. sunny window sill) let rise about 1 hr. or until double in size. Punch down, form loaves and placed into greased loaf pans. Rise another 35-40 min and pop into a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until you knock on the top and it sounds hollow. Brush top with butter and let cool on rack.


Makes 3 reg loaves or 2 large. Yummy! You'll be famous!


Tip: cooking spray is great for bowl %26amp; pan.

package yeast or caked yeast?


easy enough one way or another, take your yeast, one packet, 3/4 cups warm water, but in bowl together add 2 pinches of surgar, add nothing else at this time.


let sit 5-10 if gets bubbly on top, you got good yeast,


add 2 cups flour to the water, what ever kind of flower you want, bread, all purpose, anything you like at the store.


toss in salt, um few pinches, at this point you can add herbs, seeds, cheese, an egg, whatever ya like.


mix it up with your hand for a min in the bowl untill it comes together.


go wash those hands wipe down the counter and throw down flour.


kneed that dough ball, keep adding flower if you (kneed) to.


your gonna kneed it for 10-12 min, keep going its gonna hurt, just keep it up ok, you can do it!!


ok, now glutien should be formed and if you pull at the dough ball should be kinda elasticy


wash out you bowl, dry with rag, spread oil all around the inside.


toss your dough ball in there cover with cling wrap. LOOK AT YOU GO


now if you are in a rush you can use my trick. turn the oven on as low as it will go, put in a little pan of water, place bowl in oven, and DO NOT CLOSE THE DOOR ALL THE WAY


keep checking, if the bowl gets super hot, abort this step and put it in a less hot place.


dough should double in side, bang punch kick it down to nothingness once it does, and repeat one more time.


once doubled in size again, throw more flower down on the counter, and then the dough, shape. what ever way you like, in a bread pan, or in a big circle, or line that bowl with tons of flour, bake it in the bowl, just before you bake it, let it sit on the counter for 10 min or so to ';proof up';


and thats it.


dont forget to grease or flower that pan,


use a pinch of love and double the creativity, especially when you shape it, you can make a big braid or a sun or what ever a loaf even.


good luck
Excellent easy yeast bread,





If you have a mixer with a dough hook use it by all means. If not you have to knead by hand.





3 packages of dry yeast


6 cups flour


2 1/4 cups water


1 teaspoon salt





Just mix it all together in the mixer if you have a dough hook. if not then only add half the flour and mix for 3 min. then add the rest of the flour and mix with a spoon until the dough forms. You may have to adjust the flour a little. The type of flour, the weather, how well you measure, all can effect the dough. Let it mix for up to 10 min. using a dough hook or knead by hand on the counter for 8 to 10 min. The final dough should be soft but not too sticky and feel like when you pinch your ear lobe between your thumb and finger. Take it out of the mixing bowl if using a dough hook and knead it just a few times on the counter, then make a ball. Grease the inside of the bowl and put the dough back in. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place to rise. I use the oven. Turn it on to the lowest setting and let it get just barely warm and then turn it off and shut the door. It will only take15 to 20 min. for the first rise. Take out the dough and punch it down to deflate it cut it into two pieces and roll each into a ball. Put them onto a cookie sheet lined with foil. Place them back in the oven to rise again. It may take 30 to 45 min. this time. They will about double in size. Take out of the oven and heat the oven to 425. Put them in the oven on the lower third . Bake about 25 min. or untill the loaf sounds hollow if tapped. The best way to tell if you don't have experience is to use an oven themometer and bake untill the reading is 200 degrees. If they are browning too fast cover the loaves with foil. Check for browning after the first 10 min. Enjoy! You can cut the recipe in half to make one loaf but if you are going to all this work why not make two and enjoy the bread?


We like this recipe because the bread is very tastey, it has a quick rise time and is easy to make. Good luck with your project.
