Bread... Traditional White Bread.  I MADE SOME!!!!   :)

9/1/2016

 
So, as you know, while I was camping I learned to make bread.  :)   It was fun.  I don't tend to make bread at home as it's just SO easy to buy it right?   We buy it on sale so it's cheap too.   But the success  I had while camping made me think, ha!  I can do this at home.   REAL bread not just soda bread as an experiment with my lad.  :)

And CHECK IT OUT!!   It worked.  (thanks to the moral support that Kim offered me).  :)
Picture
This recipe came from here.Ingredients2 h 30 m 20 servings 187 cals
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast   I used two kinds of yeast as that's what I had and you know what?   It worked!
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 3 tablespoons lard, softened   I used veggie oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6 1/2 cups bread flour

Picture
The bread is a rising!

Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir in lard, salt and two cups of the flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  2. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  3. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375
  5. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
I have to admit, I used my thats-a-bowl from Tupperware, the lid pops when the bread has risen enough) - learned that from someone in casual conversation..  
I also used the sun's energy to help the bread rise (said put in warm place and the house felt coolish to me).
I used more flour than the recipe called for but Kim assured me that's perfectly normal.
Also instead of oiling my bowl I used my "Pam" to spray the bowl and just rolled the bread dough around in that.
Took precisely 30 minutes to cook.   Eating commenced shortly thereafter.

Things learned... don't freak out if you use too much flour.  Don't stress over the type of yeast used, it will still work out.  
It's FUN to punch air out of dough.   Watching all those air bubbles squish out was cathartic.  :)
Use a knife to loosen a stuck loaf from the pan, you won't hurt it and helps it come out of the pan nicely.

Next time I think I will make Kim's white bread recipe.

I love homemade bread. I've been thinking I need to make some. Your loaves look scrumptious.

Fresh bread is just heavenly - the aroma and the taste. Baking bread is such a joy and really, quite a bit easier than we tend to think. Yours turned out beautiful and I love that you just winged it when you didn't have exactly what the recipe called for. I had someone tell me once that if you don't have it exact, you'd better not make it, especially with bread. I think that is so wrong. Try it and probably 99% of the time it works out just fine. So glad you just went for it!

Lori, I needed Kim to tell me it would be okay.. I was so nervous that I wrecked it and she said .... give it time, it will probably be just fine, bread is very forgiving. :)
