TASSAJARA YEASTED BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in water and stir in the honey and dry milk. Stir in 4 cups of the flour to form a thick batter and beat 100 strokes with a spoon. Let the dough rise for 45 minutes, then add the salt and oil and an additional 3 cups of the flour and knead until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
• Knead on a floured board, using about 1 cup more flour if needed to keep the dough from sticking, for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth. Let it rise for 50 to 60 minutes, until it is doubled in size. Punch down and let it rise again for 40 to 50 minutes, until doubled in size.
• Shape into two round loaves and place them on a baking sheet. Let them rise for 20 to 25 minutes. Coat the top of each loaf with egg wash. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour or until golden brown.

TASSAJARA BREAD

Steps:

• Step one:.
• Mix together Water and Yeast, let rest for 5 minutes. Then add Honey,(or Brown sugar or Molasses)Powdered Milk,Whole Wheat Flour and White Flour. Beat all these ingredients together well. This batter will be thick. Once well mixed, let rise 1 hour.
• Step Two:.
• Fold in Salt,Oil and Flour. Use more Flour as needed to Knead bread.
• Let Bread rise for 50 minutes, then punch down. Let rise 40 more minutes then shape into loaves. This makes approximately 5 loaves. Put loaves into greased pans.
• Let loaves rise for 20 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• When you remove the loaves from the oven, take a stick of Butter or Margarine and rub it over the top crust of the bread for a softer crust. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes and remove to cooling racks.
• Now when my mom makes this Bread, she makes half of the loaves with Cinnamon,Sugar,a little melted Butter and Raisins (my Husbands favorite) Make those loaves just like you would a Cinnamon Roll - flatten the dough out and spread the rest of the ingredients on the dough, then roll back up and put in pans.
