No Fail Yeast Bread
Recipe makes 4 loaves.
5 cups warm water
¼ cup oil
1 ½ tablespoon salt
1 cup honey or ¾ cup sugar
3 tablespoon yeast
3 tablespoon dough enhancer, (optional)
11 ¼ cups all purpose flour
This recipe is easiest if a large mixer is used if a mixer is unavailable dough may be kneaded by hand.
Combine water, oil, salt, sugar (or honey) and dough enhancer. Add yeast, mix. Stir enough flour to make a soft dough. Flour hands and remove from mixer. Knead for 8-10 minutes.
Divide into 4 parts. Shape each part into a loaf and place into grased loaf pans. Cover and allow to rise until dough is 1 inch above pan.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake 30 min.
NOTE: a nice variation is to make sweet rolls. Take 1 or 2 of the pieces of bread dough divided to make a loaf. Roll each portion of dough out into a 14 x 8 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Brush with 1-2 tablespoons softened butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up dough. Cut into 1 inch slices and place on greased baking pan. Allow to rise until double in bulk. Bake as above.
