Here is the recipe: (Lecithin is the secret ingredient...)
Pantry Secrets Bread Recipe
10 1/2 cups white unbleached bread flour (You can do 1/2 wheat flour if you prefer.)
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
3 rounded Tablespoons saf-instant yeast
3 Tablespoons liquid lecithin*
4 cups hot tap water
Mix dry ingredients. Add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 minute and check consistency. If dough is too dry, add more water. If dough is too moist, add more flour. Mix for 5 minutes. (Do not add water or flour to the dough after it has finished mixing.) Spray counter and pans with cooking spray. Shape loaves and cover with a dish towel. Let rise 25 minutes. Bake at 350* for 25 minutes.
Recipe makes 4 loaves. Unraised loaves can be frozen for later use. My kitchenaide only allows me enough room to mix 2 loaves at a time, so I half the recipe when I make it.
*Squeeze or pour approximately 3 tablespoons (size of quarters to a half dollar) of lecithin directly into the bowl. Do not measure. You can buy your lecithin from Pantry Secrets for a really great price!
Did you do all white? The half wheat/half white seems to be more flavorful. I'm glad you liked the recipe though! I tell ya... it's fail proof!
ReplyDeleteI love that recipe! And, I agree with Hilary the half wheat/white is so good!!
ReplyDeleteI did do all white...so I will have to try the wheat next time.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm... I love homemade bread, but I have to admit, I have no clue what lecithin is... Is it a common ingredient? Am I just really that stupid when it comes to baking?
ReplyDeleteoh yum!
ReplyDeletewhat is the buttery bread recipe you talk about? please reply
ReplyDeletesharonellis16@yahoo.com thank you
PS sounds like what I'm looking for. A little extra rise in my sourdough bread recipe.
