homemade bread
Liam decided to help me make bread . He did all the kneading and did an awesome job.
Just for fun, Here's the recipe. It makes a really great wheat bread
1 C warm water with 1 tsp of sugar and 3 tsp of yeast. set this aside to activate the yeast.
3 c of warm water
1/2 c honey
1/2 c oil
I put the oil in the measuring cup first so the honey comes out easier.
1 Tbsp of soy lechthin ( If you can't find this it's ok. you can leave it out)
1/3 c of gluten
and lots of flour. I start with about 1/3 of a bag and then add more as I mix
Mix and knead with hands adding in the activated yeast and more flour (as needed)
Knead for about ten minutes (You'll know that the dough is ready when it is not sticking to your hands as much and has an elastic quality to it) and then let rise till doubles in size.
punch dough down and form into loaves. I usually get 3-4 loave of bread from a batch. Allow the dough to rise again in pans and bake at 350* for 30-40 minutes. I usually check on the breat after about 20 minutes, If it is getting too brown on top, I will make a tent of tin foil to cover the top of the bread to keep it from browning too much. enjoy!
