EASY YOGURT BREAD

Steps:

• Pour the water into the bowl of a stand mixer, if you have one. Don't worry if you don't, just use a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast and swirl to dissolve.
• Add the yogurt and mix into the water, then add the flour and salt. If using a stand mixer, mix using the dough hook on a low speed for about 5 minutes, until smooth and stretchy.If you're not using a stand mixer, mix with your hand in the bowl until the dough has come together, then turn out and knead on the work surface until it has become a smooth, pliable, stretchy dough. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes.
• If kneading by hand put the dough back in the bowl then cover with cling film (or a plastic shower cap) and leave to prove until doubled in size (in a warm place for about 35 mins)
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Butter a 1lb loaf tin - I find that butter works much better than oil and the loaf comes out of the tin much easier. Fold the dough into thirds, and then roll into a tube as long as the loaf tin.
• Cover again with the shower cap (if you have one), pulling it up to give the dough space to rise. If you don't have a shower cap, place the tin in a plastic bag and tie shut. Place the tin in the warm location used in step three above.
• After about 15 minutes rising time, heat the oven to GM7 / 220C / 425F. Leave the dough to rise for about a further 15 to 20 minutes, until it's just springing back when pressed.
• Bake for about 35 minutes.
• When it is done it should turn out of the tin and sound hollow when tapped. It always takes longer to bake than you think it will, so my general rule of thumb is that if you are unsure give it another 5 mins.

• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

YOGURT WHEAT BREAD

• Let yogurt stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, sugar, oil, salt and yogurt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough bread flour to form a firm dough., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes., Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.

YOGURT HERB BREAD

• In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water and yogurt to 120°-130°. Add to flour mixture; mix well. Stir in oil, herbs and enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Shape each portion into a loaf. Place in 2 greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. , Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.

NO-KNEAD COUNTRY BREAD

Steps:

• Place white bread flour, whole wheat bread flour, and yeast into a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Pour in cold water and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a very wet, sticky dough comes together, about 3 minutes. Add the salt and mix another 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Cover with foil. Allow dough to rise at room temperature for 18 hours.
• Deflate the bubbly dough with a spatula by scraping down the sides of the bowl and folding the dough over itself, turning the bowl as you go around in a circular motion, about 12 times or so.
• Scrape the dough onto a very well-floured surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the surface of dough generously with flour. Generously flour hands and then roll and fold dough on the table until you've formed a round or oval loaf shape that has a smooth surface, 1 to 2 minutes. The dough is very sticky, so add more flour if you need. The shape doesn't really matter, but a smooth surface is the goal.
• Transfer to a Silpat®-lined baking sheet and let rise, uncovered, until doubled in size, about 2 hours. The dough will spread out more than rise up, but this is normal.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Make 1 shallow slash down the middle of the dough with a very sharp knife or razor, being careful not to deflate the dough too much; the slash is optional. Spray the surface of the loaf very lightly with plain water to help the crust form.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack before cutting.

COUNTRY YOGURT BREAD

Steps:

• The flour amount is approximate, add more or less to form a nice dough.
• Make the bread dough using your favorite method. I just dump it all in my bread machine and set to the dough cycle. You can also mix the dough using the traditional method of heating the liquid and adding the yeast, proofing, and then mixing in the dry ingredients. If using this method knead about 10 minutes and let the dough rest about 10 minutes.
• When the dough cycle is complete, place dough onto floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces.
• Form into loaves by rolling each piece into a rectangle about 12x10 inches. Starting at short end, roll tightly into a loaf. Tuck ends and pinch seams to seal.
• Place on greased baking sheet.
• With a sharp knife, make slashes in the top of the loaves about an inch apart. Brush with egg white.
• Let rise until double, about one hour.
• Brush with the egg white again before baking.
• Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
