EASY NO KNEAD BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and yeast. Create a well in the center; add water. Using a wooden spoon or your hand, stir until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 1-2 minutes. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at a warm place until doubled in size and surface is dotted with bubbles, about 6-8 hours. Working on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, fold dough over itself 3-4 times, turning after each fold; gently shape dough into a round. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place a 4-qt Dutch oven, covered, in the oven for at least 30 minutes. Remove Dutch oven from the oven; working carefully, place dough into the Dutch oven using the parchment paper as a sling. OPTIONAL: Using a sharp knife or bread lame, make a few shallow cuts on the top. Cover and place in the oven; remove the lid after 30 minutes. Continue baking until golden brown and completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 210 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Let cool 30 minutes on a wire rack Serve warm.

SUPER EASY BREAD RECIPE FOR BEGINNERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour the warm water into a large bowl.
• Slowly stir in the yeast until it is dissolved.
• Add the salt, sugar, and milk to the bowl. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
• Mix in the shortening and the first 2 cups of flour. The shortening will continue to integrate into the dough while kneading, so it may be small lumps at this stage.
• If needed, begin adding more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough chases the spoon around the bowl.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes. Add small spoonfuls of flour as necessary, until the dough is soft and smooth (not sticky to the touch). You may not need all of the flour, or you may need a little more. Keep the surface floured to prevent the dough from sticking to the board and your hands.
• Put the dough in a greased or buttered bowl and turn the dough over so the other side is also greased.
• Cover and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot, such as an oven with the light on, for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes.
• Form the dough into a loaf (here are some helpful tips) and set it gently into a greased bread pan .
• Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled. If your kitchen is chilly or drafty, place the pan in a cool oven with the light on for this step, or you may not get a proper rise. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Score the risen dough by cutting three slashes across the top with a sharp knife. While not essential, this step controls the direction in which the bread expands as it bakes. (If you forget to do it, the bread will taste the same.)
• Place the bread in the oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn out the loaf of bread and let it cool completely on a rack or clean dish towel before slicing.
• Serve and enjoy.

EASY HOMEMADE FREEZER BREAD

Steps:

• Pour warm 100-110 degree water and warm milk into a large bowl of a standup mixer. Stir sugar into warm water and milk then add yeast; let proof for five minutes or so, until the mixture bubbles and foams.
• Add salt and melted butter to yeast mixture; mix well.
• Mix in flour, 1-2 cups at a time.
• Using dough hook attachment, knead dough for 10 minutes.
• Place dough on floured surface and knead by hand for 7-10 minutes more, adding additional flour as necessary, until dough is smooth. (If kneading entirely by hand, skip step four and simply knead on floured surface until dough is smooth--approximately 15-20 minutes.)
• Place dough in bowl greased well with butter, and turn dough once to coat with butter. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm spot to rise. Let rise until doubled--about 45 minutes to an hour.
• Punch down dough and divide into four equal portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap or freezer bag and freeze until needed.
• To use, thaw dough. For bread, place in greased bread pan and let rise to 1" above pan before baking. Dough can also be used to form dinner rolls--just shape into balls and let rise for 30 minutes--or as homemade pizza dough. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, brush top of hot loaf with melted butter before it cools.

HOMEMADE FREEZER DOUGH

Steps:

• 1. Thawing: Do not thaw frozen dough in the refrigerator longer than overnight. If kept longer, it develops a strong aroma and "off" taste. Loaves: Unwrap the loaf and place in a greased 8x4-inch loaf pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Thaw at room temperature about 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Brush the dough lightly with oil, cover and let rise until the corners of the pan are filled and the dough is about 1 inch above the pan in the center. Patties: Place wrapped frozen dough in the refrigerator to thaw 8 hours or overnight. Let the dough stand at room temperature about 15 minutes to warm slightly before shaping. Baking: Use a lower oven rack for best results when baking,if the bread seems to be browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil last 5-10 minutes of baking. The bread is done if it sounds hollow when tapped with the finger on the bottom or side. For a softer crust, brush with butter or margarine just after baking.
