Title: Moist Bread
Categories: Breads
Yield: 2 Loaves
2 1/4 ts Yeast
1 1/2 c Water; warm
1/4 c Sugar
2 tb Butter
2 ts Salt
5 c Flour
Combine yeast, 1/2 c warm water and the sugar in a large bowl; stir
until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about
10 minutes.
Stir remaining warm water, the oil and salt into yeast mixture.
Whisk together 4 c flour. Reserve 1 c flour for later.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add half of the yeast
liquid to the well; stir into the flour mixture to blend. Stir in the
remaining yeast liquid until a rough mass is formed.
Turn dough out on floured surface; this is a very soft dough. Knead
until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, adding as much flour as
needed to prevent sticking. I used 1 c more flour for a total of 5 c.
Place dough in lightly oiled bowl; turn dough in bowl so all sides are
coated. Cover bowl with towel or lightly greased waxed paper. Let
rise in a warm place, away from drafts, for 45 - 50 minutes or until
dough doubles in volume.
Grease two medium sized loaf pans.
Punch dough down. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead lightly. Divide in half. Place one portion in each of the
prepared pans. Cover with a damp towel or lightly greased waxed
paper. Let rise in warm place, away from drafts, until doubled in
volume, for 30 - 45 minutes.
To bake, heat oven to 400 F. Bake bread for 25 minutes or until hollow
sounding when lightly tapped. Turn loaves out onto wire racks and let
cool completely.
