Outrageously Easy Big Bread

Postby viggie » Sun Jan 03, 2010 7:59 pm

Very easy and good no knead bread recipe. Both my mom and I made a lot of these with great success. I have it posted on recipezaar where it's gotten all 5 star reviews. Makes 2 loaves. Have tested a half recipe and it works fine for one loaf :)

Image

Ingredients
1/2 ounce active dry yeast (2 packets)
1/4 cup warm water
2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 cups flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 cups flour

Directions
Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl without stirring, set aside.

Sir together hot water, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl until dissolved. Add first 3 cups of flour and mix.

Pour oil and yeast into bowl. Add remaining 3 cups of flour and mix well. Cover the bowl with towel and set aside to rise for at least 45 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into half. Shape into loaf and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover the dough with a towel and set aside to rise again for at least 45 minutes.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 23 minutes.

Sounds easy... but will my yeast decide to raise? **sigh*

I'll give it a try, I seem to be very bad with yeast handling.

Looks good. and easy. Seems like an awful lot of salt tho........


I have high bloodpressure, so any time I can lower or cut salt I do. Do you know if this works without using the full 1 Tablespoon of salt?

Genevieve,
You could experiment by cutting the recipe in half and leaving out the salt. If it turns out *wrong*, it can always be broken up to scatter outside for the birds, bugs, etc.

Never! It can be made into croûtons or french toast or bread crumbs for meatloaf or for frying

It is in the oven as we speak. I make the 1/2 recipe and in the bowl it quadrupled in size, after I beat it down, and formed it into a loaf it got small again. Here's what it looks like when it was just getting ready to go into the oven.

Yes I like round bread.

And here it is done!!!

It has a very nice THUMP to it, it's cooling now, I'll let yall know how it tastes. Dindin is in an hour.


ALSO to add, I used Olive Oil instead of veggy oil (2.5 tbls) and rubbed a little olive oil on it before baking it.



It was delish :D

Heh, should have done this a couple days ago, but anyway, I wanted to show you how my bread turned out using this recipe :)

This wasn't the one done on the wood stove, that didn't get to raise well, so I tried it acording to the directions except I use a bread pan. :)
