Bread – Make them Together

I have repeated success with this white bread recipe. There are some accidental modifications with the latest try and the result is surprisingly good.

Since a couple of mommies are asking for my bread recipe, with another modification for bread shape, here is how:

• Dissolve one envelope (21 g) of Rapid Rise yeast ( I use Fleischmannn’s) in a bowl with some water at room temperature, sprinkle sugar and salt, then mix with one cup of all-purpose flour. Set the mixture aside for later use.
• In a pot, heat 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of water and 2 table spoons of butter till almost boiling
• Pour the hot liquid in a large bowl and let it cool down to warm
• Add 1-3/4 cup of all-purpose flour in the large bowl above and beat with an electrical mixer at low speed for a few minutes
• Add the yeast, flour, sugar and salt mixture to the large bowl above
• Beat with the electrical mixer at low speed some more
• On a clean surface, spread 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and kneed the above mixture with the dry flour till a firm and elastic dough is formed
• This is where I had to leave the house: so the dough was left covered in a damp cloth and placed in the oven for its first rising
• When I returned home after 1 hour, the dough was twice the size. Cut the dough into 8 pieces: 7 equal large pieces and 1 small piece for the ears
• Kneed each piece into a ball and place all 7 balls on a baking pan
• Kneed the small piece into 14 small balls and place them on the large balls, 2 at a time, as ears

• Cover; let rise for the second time in warm, draft free place until 1.5 in size, about 15 ` 25 minutes (the best place in our household is the oven)
• Bake at 375°F for 12 to 14 minutes or until done.  Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
