Welcome! Today I needed to sooth the sole so what better way than baking delicious bread. Many may feel intimidated but I promise it's super easy. As long as you have a nice prep area, measuring cups, spoons, a mixer but not required. I did use my kitchen aide with the doe attachment but somehow felt cheated not doing it by hand so either way works. I kind of made this recipe my self but it's tried and true.
2 packets of yeast
21/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/4 cup of sugar
4 tablespoons of Olive oil
About 7-8 cups of all purpose Flour
2 bread pans, buttered
I first took about half cup of the water and added the yeast , let it sit for about 5min. Then I simply added all the ingredients. Flour last added little by little. The doe should be sticky but able to handle with floured hands. I simply decided it into 2 pieces, I did have to knead it very much because the mixer did most of the work. I simply added the does to the greased bread pans, covered and let it rest for about 45 min. It doubled in size and off to the 350 degree oven.
I sure hope you will try this super easy recipe!
Happy baking!

Baking bread is wonderful in so many ways. I use a bowl for rising that belonged to my mother, so she is always in my kitchen when I bake. Along with memories of her teaching me how to make bread. Then there's the smell that permeates the house. Nothing smells better than bread baking in the oven. Then as if that wasn't enough we get to eat it . . . yum!
