Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 package yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 1/4 cups warm water
Place ingredients into your bread machine according to directions. Mine is liquid then dry ingredients. Set machine to dough cycle.
Once the cycle is complete remove onto a floured surface and cut dough in half. Take each half and roll into a loaf about 12 inches long.
Place onto a greased cookie sheet, cover with a wet towel and allow to rise for about 1 hour (double in size).
Using a sharp knife dipped in flour make slits 1/2 deep along the top.
Preheat oven to 450. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.Place on wire rack to cool.
Optional: You can use an egg wash (whites of eggs mixed with a little bit of water) to brush over the top to make it more crunchy.This post is part of Simple Lives Thursday at A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa.
yummm!!!! I love to use my machine to mix my bread dough!! do you let it rise in there at all? yesterday I had fabulous results by taking it out w/30+minutes left on the timer & letting it rise on the stove (wheat onion bread). I think it might have risen better than other times I've let it rise in the machine then again on the stove.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my bread machine. It has simplified my life so much. I let the machine do everything. My dough cycle is 1 hour and 20 minutes long. It rises quite well in the machine. Once it is done I just take it out and shape it into loaves and let it rise till double. So, so easy.
ReplyDeleteI use that same recipe for all my general bread. Sounds delicious though!
