Bread, Favorite Homemade (3 PTS)

Serves: 36 people

Recipe Ingredients

Combine yeast, 1 C of the warm water and the sugar in a large bowl; stir

until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 10

min.

Stir remaining warm water, the oil and salt into yeast mixture.

Whisk together 7 C of the all-purpose flour and the whole wheat flour in a

large bowl until combined.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add half of the yeast

liquid

to the well; stir into the flour mixture to blend. Stir in the remaining

yeast liquid until a rough mass is formed.

Turn dough out on floured surface; this is a very soft dough. Knead until

smooth and elastic, about 5 min, adding as much of the remaining 1/4C

all-purpose flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Place dough in lightly oiled bowl; turn dough in bowl so all sides are

coated. Cover bowl with towel or lightly greased waxed paper. Let rise in

warm place, away from drafts, for 45 - 50 min or until dough doubles in

volume.

Grease three 9 x 5 x 3" loaf pans.

Punch dough down. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead

lightly. Divide into thirds. Place one portion in each of the prepared

pans.

Cover with a damp towel or lightly greased waxed paper. Let rise in warm

place, away from drafts, until doubled in volume, for 30 - 45 min.

To bake, heat oven to 400F. Bake bread for 25 min or until hollow sounding

when lightly tapped. Turn loaves out onto wire racks and let cool

completely.
