It is a great bread and very quick. Start at 6.30 and the bread will
done before 8.00 am.
Here is the recipe
5-6 cups of bread or AP flour
2 packages dry yeast or 10.4 grams of instant (I used the instant)
1 tbs. salt
2 tbs. sugar
2 cups hot water ( Mine was about 110 F.)
Put 4 cups of the flour in a mixing bowl and add yeast, salt and sugar.
Stir till they are well blended. Pour in the water and beat with flat
beater for about 3 minutes.
Gradually work in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time till the dough
takes shape and is no longer sticky.
With the dough hook knead for about 8 minutes till dough is smooth and
elastic
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in a
warm place (80 - 100 F) until double in bulk, about 15 min.
Punch dough down, turn it out on a work surface and cut into 2 pieces.
Shape each into a round.Put on a baking sheet .Slash the dough with a
razor or sharp knife.
Put baking sheet on the middle shelf of a COLD oven. Place a large pan
with hot water on the shelf below and heat the oven to 400F. The bread
will continue to rise while the oven is heating. Bake for about 50
minutes or until the loaves are a deep golden brown. Thump on the bottom
crust to test for doneness. (I used my thermapen , it was about 202F.)
If they sound hollow they are done.
I was really happy with this "quick" bread.
