Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 3 CUPS LUKE-WARM WATER
- 1/4 CUP SUGAR
- 1 1/2 TBSP. YEAST
- 1/3 CUP OIL
- 1 TBSP. SALT
- 6 – 7 CUPS UNBLEACHED GROUND WHITE WHEAT FLOUR (YOU CAN USE REGULAR ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR WITH SUCCESS AS WELL. YOU WILL NEED MORE FLOUR… CLOSER TO 8 CUPS, AND IT WILL MAKE A SOFTER, LESS-COARSE BREAD.)
- *OPT. 1 TBSP. VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN (IF USING WHOLE WHITE WHEAT FLOUR)
Instructions
- IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL, DISSOLVE YEAST IN
- WARM WATER AND SUGAR. LET SIT 10 MINUTES. ADD THE OIL. ADD THE SALT AND FLOUR (STARTING WITH 6 CUPS OF FLOUR).
- MIX ALL TOGETHER. KNEAD THE DOUGH THOROUGHLY UNTIL ALL INGREDIENTS ARE INCORPORATED, AND DOUGH IS SMOOTH, ELASTIC, VERY SLIGHTLY STICKY, AND PULLS AWAY FROM THE BOWL (6-10 MINUTES).
- AS YOU KNEAD THE DOUGH, YOU MAY ADD MORE FLOUR AS NEEDED, AND REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL DOUGH REACHES THE DESIRED CONSISTENCY.
- COVER THE BOWL OF DOUGH WITH A DISH TOWEL OR PLASTIC WRAP AND LET RISE UNTIL DOUBLED (AN HOUR OR MORE DEPENDING ON HOW WARM YOUR KITCHEN IS.)
- YOU MAY SPEED UP THIS PROCESS BY PLACING THE COVERED BOWL INSIDE THE OVEN WITH THE OVEN LIGHT ON, AND ANOTHER BOWL OF WARM WATER SITTING ON THE LOWER RACK.
- IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SURE-FIRE, CROWD-PLEASING, DELICIOUS WHITE BREAD, LOOK NO FURTHER.
- THIS IS IT!
