A New Bread Recipe to Try
I'm posting this here so i'll remember to try it..
This is from one of my student teachers I had in my classroom back in the day. Thanks Sharon!!!
One Hour Bread--THE BEST BREAD RECIPE EVER!!!!!
This recipe is for a LARGE mixer. If you have the standard Kitchen Aid (like I do) then you will need to half this recipe. You can also make it by hand--but it is written for a mixer.
**This recipe calls for 2 ingredients that you may not be familiar with. It is worth going out and finding the ingredients and keeping them on hand--you will never go back to your other recipes again!**
Ingredients:
10 1/2 c White Flour
1/2 c sugar
1 TBsp Salt
3 Rounded TBSP of SAF INSTANT YEAST (this is important--this is the kind of yeast that you don't have to proof before using it--you just add it to the dry ingredients.)
3 TBSP Liquid Soy Lecithin (This is sometimes found in the health part of the super market--by the supplements and stuff like that--it is awesome to use as it has an indefinate shelf life so it is great for food storage!
4 c Hot Tap Water
Instructions:
Mix dry ingredients together in mixer. Use a measuring spoon to make a well in the dry ingredients to pour the lecithin into. (The lecithin is the STICKIEST stuff to work with ever--if you pour it into a measuring spoon you will never get it out--so instead just make 3 little TBSP wells and fill them up with lecithin). Then add the HOT tap water and start mixing. The dough should be REALLY STICKY. It should be so sticky that you wonder what you did wrong and you will want to add more flour--BUT DON'T--and if it isn't sticky enough, add 1/2 -1 cup more hot water to reach the sticky consistency. Then turn your mixer on and let it mix for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, spray your counter and all your pans with pam spray. When the 5 minutes is up you can pam spray a spoon or your hands to scrape the dough out of the mixer bowl and onto the greased counter. Then you only knead the dough a couple times and shape into your bread, rolls, twists, pizza--WHATEVER.
Start your oven preheating to 350 and let your shaped dough rise for 25 minutes--covered with pam sprayed suran wrap (for breads and rolls--for pizza-just top and bake now without letting rise). Then bake. Bread for 25 mins. Buns, rolls, mini loafs for 15 mins. Enjoy! This is the easiest and quickest bread recipe you will EVER find! It is worth trying it for yourself! And I love that it takes such few ingredients! I really is an awesome recipe to have for food storage purposes as it only takes 6 ingredients.

The video is a bit long (20 minutes)—but caught my attention—and made me resolve to remember to take my bags with me to the grocery store!!
