Homemade White Bread
I love this bread recipe, so easy to make!
1/2 cup milk + 1/2 cup water
1 package active dry yeast (make sure it does not have ascorbic acid!)
2 tbsp. veg oil
2 tbs sugar
3 1/4 flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
Heat milk in saucepan just until warm. Pour into mixing bowl. Dissolve yeast into 1/2 cup warm water. Add to milk. Stir in oil, sugar, salt, and 2 cups of the flour. Beat at low speed with electric mixer 1 minute, and then on high for 2 min. (I don't this however, I just use my hands) Stir in remaining flour until you can't stir anymore. Knead the dough on floured surface (for about 15 min), adding flour if needed to make a slightly stiff dough. Place in greased bowl and cover. Put in a warm area to rise (I turn on the oven to 200, then turn it off before putting it inside). Let rise until double, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Roll in flour and shape into loaf. Grease a loaf pan and place dough in pan. Cover and let rise in warm area until almost double in size. Heat oven to 375. Place loaf in oven and bake 30-45 min. Remove from pan and place on cooling rack. Enjoy, mmmmm!
