Dang, My favorite sandwich bread is off the market!

[Lurker66]

Store bought bread tastes like **** -- even the "good tasting brands" ...

Try this instead:

Amish White Bread

2 cups warm water
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 TBLS yeast
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
6 cups all-purpose unbleached flour

Dissolve sugar in water. Stir in yeast. Let sit until foamy (about 10 minutes).
Add oil and salt. Then mix in flour one cup at a time.
Knead for 10 minutes (or until dough is smooth) on lightly floured surface.
Place in oiled bowl, turn to oil top and cover. Set in warm place and let rise until doubled or about 1 hour.
Punch down, divide in half, shape into loaves and place in lightly oiled bread pans. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let sit in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack. Let cool completely before cutting.

You can replace up to half the white flour with whole wheat flour if you like. If you do, sift the flours together before mixing in with the wet ingredients.

Now that "home pride".

That sounds too easy. I don't believe you.

So uh.. will you send a sample?

You know what? You PM me your address and I'll wrap up a loaf and send it to you. Just for you ... But be forewarned -- You'll never want another slice of storebought bread again as long as you live. I know, I was a skeptic too as it really does seem too easy but it's amazing. Those amish gals got it going on!

BTW, for those of you who are wondering, this particular homemade bread does not go moldy nearly as quick as most. I'm not sure why but it doesn't.

No No! Thank you but I can make it I bet.
Can I use those packets that say active dry yeast? I see we have those in our pantry.

ROFLMAO! You are a HOOT!!

Yea, those work great. Only advice I have to give is be sure and knead it for the whole 10 minutes. Set the timer. It makes difference in the texture if you don't knead it that long. Oh, and if you want a really soft crust brush it with beaten egg whites right before you put the loaves in the oven. This is the only bread recipe I use now. It's THAT easy ...

[Shadowrider]

BB, Does the 10 minutes apply if you are using one of those bread dough thingies with a kitchen aide mixer? Yea I'm too lazy to do it by hand...

 

[Lurker66]

Man im not allowed in the kitchen today.

 

[cowboyhaiokc]

What!! No more Home Pride bread too. Wife is not going to be happy with this one.

And when you are forming the loaf, roll the dough out into a rectangle shape, slightly longer than your loaf pan. Then roll it up along the long edge, pinch along the seams and tuck the ends under.
