SUPER EASY SUB BREAD.

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl combine water, yeast and sugar give it a mix with a spoon and let sit until it foams about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and oil mix until a dough ball forms. Transfer ball of dough onto flour board and knead until smooth about 10 minutes. Oil a mixing bowl and transfer dough into the mixing ball turning the ball to coat it in oil cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 45 minutes until doubled in size in a warm place.
• 2. After 45 minutes take dough out and put on floured board and punch down and knead for 2 minutes or so. At this point you can divide the dough into 4 balls or 8. I do 4 balls and make 2 loaves out of 2 balls and four rolls out of the other 2. All you do to make the loafs or baguettes is roll the dough into logs. Oil a baking sheet or cover with parchment paper and put formed loaves into the sheets. oil the tops with olive or vegetable oil and cover with plastic wrap. Put sheets in a warm place and let sit for 45 minutes until they double in size again.
• 3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Take plastic sheet off the bread and at this point you can add fresh or dried herbs. Or you can do sesame seeds or even oatmeal or leave them plain. Place baking sheets in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until top is golden brown. Take them out and let them cool down or eat them right away.

SUPER EASY BREAD RECIPE FOR BEGINNERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour the warm water into a large bowl.
• Slowly stir in the yeast until it is dissolved.
• Add the salt, sugar, and milk to the bowl. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
• Mix in the shortening and the first 2 cups of flour. The shortening will continue to integrate into the dough while kneading, so it may be small lumps at this stage.
• If needed, begin adding more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough chases the spoon around the bowl.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes. Add small spoonfuls of flour as necessary, until the dough is soft and smooth (not sticky to the touch). You may not need all of the flour, or you may need a little more. Keep the surface floured to prevent the dough from sticking to the board and your hands.
• Put the dough in a greased or buttered bowl and turn the dough over so the other side is also greased.
• Cover and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot, such as an oven with the light on, for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes.
• Form the dough into a loaf (here are some helpful tips) and set it gently into a greased bread pan .
• Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled. If your kitchen is chilly or drafty, place the pan in a cool oven with the light on for this step, or you may not get a proper rise. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Score the risen dough by cutting three slashes across the top with a sharp knife. While not essential, this step controls the direction in which the bread expands as it bakes. (If you forget to do it, the bread will taste the same.)
• Place the bread in the oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn out the loaf of bread and let it cool completely on a rack or clean dish towel before slicing.
• Serve and enjoy.

SUPER-QUICK NO-KNEAD BREAD

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients together.
• Add water and stir in until a really sticky dough has formed.
• Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise.
• Punch down and divide dough into two balls.
• If you are using the cracked wheat, roll the dough balls in the cracked wheat now.
• Place into well greased pans and bake at 400F for 1 hour.
• Cook's note: No need for a second rising as the bread rises perfectly in the oven on baking.

SUPER EASY NO-KNEAD WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat on high speed for about 3 minutes. Dough will be sticky and thick-don't panic! It's supposed to be like that.
• Spray an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with an oil mister or cooking spray. This bread is sticky, so you need to make sure the whole pan is thoroughly coated with oil. Transfer the dough to the loaf pan, cover with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let bread rise for 60-90 minutes. The bread will rise to (or just above) the rim of the pan when it's ready.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap from bread and bake for 40-45 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil after 20 minutes. When the bread is golden brown on top and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 190-195°F, the bread is done.
• Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, then remove bread from pan and continue to cool on a wire rack. Once bread is completely cool, it can be sliced. I prefer slicing the loaf as we use it rather than slicing the whole thing at once.

ARTISAN BREAD - EASY HOMEMADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients together. Use a whisk to make sure they are mixed well. Place into the bowl of your stand mixer set up with the dough hook.**you can also mix this by hand using a wooden spoon or your hands.
• Add the water and stir into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. It should start to pull away from the bowl. The dough will look wet and sticky.
• Place the dough in a large bowl that has been lightly oiled. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in a warm part of your kitchen away from any drafts.
• Allow the dough to rise for at least 12 hours up to a maximum of 16 hours. 12-14 hours is the sweet spot. Bubbles wil form in the dough and it may drop a bit after rising.
• Lightly flour the countertop and dump out the bread dough on the floured surface.
• Add flour into the dough as you work the dough around. This will take about 5 minutes. Keep adding flour until the dough isn't sticky. Form the dough into a ball.
• Flatten the dough out to make a rectangle.
• Fold over 1/3 of the dough to the center (you're folding the widest part first as shown in the pictures). Fold over the other side of the rectangle overlapping the first fold of the dough.
• Continue the folding process by folding the bottom 1/3 of the dough upwards towards the center of the little package you've made. then fold the top part of the dough down overlapping the fold you just made.Turn the dough over (seam side down) and make a disc or oblong loaf depending upon what shape bread you want to make.
• Place the finished dough on parchment paper (sprinkle cornmeal or flour on the parchment before placing the dough)
• Cover the dough with a bowl or damp tea towel for the second rise. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the cloche or dutch oven in the oven on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. and place the covered dough on top of the stove to finishing rising for about 30 minutes.
• When the dough has fully risen, using a very sharp knife cut a design into the top of the bread. Make deep cuts.Brush the entire bread dough with water.
• Very Carefully remove the cloche from the oven (close the oven door).
• Place the parchment paper with the dough onto the cloche, cover with the lid and place back into the oven.It's okay to bake the bread on the parchment paper.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 450 degrees F.
• Remove the lid from the cloche or dutch oven, leaving the bread in the oven. Turn off the oven. Allow bread to stay in the oven for about 10 minutes. Less if it looks like its getting too dark. This will finish the baking process, crisping up the outside of the crust bread adding more color to the crust.Dark Bread is okay, it looks more rustic!
• Let the bread rest for at least an hour before cutting. Cutting the bread too soon will release the steam (water) and toughen the bread.

THE BEST SUPER SOFT AND CHEWY HOAGIE ROLLS

Steps:

• If using Active Dry Yeast (not the Instant I use) you have to proof the yeast first. Add the Active Dry Yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoon of warm water in a bowl of a stand mixer.
• Using a whisk or spoon, mix and set aside for 5-10 minutes or until the yeast has bubbled quite a bit.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (this would be the same bowl your yeast mixture is in) add 2 cups of flour and the remaining cup of water. Start off on low. Mix for 4 minutes.
• Go to Step 1 of Recipe Continuation and follow the rest of the recipe
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook add in 2 cups of flour, water, sugar, and Instant Yeast. Start off on low. Mix for 4 minutes.
• Go to Step 1 of Recipe Continuation and follow the rest of the recipe.
• Add in the salt and 1 cup at a time of the remaining flour and mix for 5-6 minutes until the dough is slack (See note). At this point, your mixer should be at medium speed. If your dough, after 5-6 minutes is not slack add up to 1/4 more cup of water (taking you up to a full 1 1/2 cups used) but add one Tablespoon at a time. The additional water will fully depend on how humid your room is.
• Add in the butter 1 Tablespoon at a time and mix until almost fully melded in before adding the next Tablespoon. In total, mix for 1-3 minutes or until the dough comes back together and the dough until it pulls completely away from the side and is smooth and shiny. Remove from bowl and transfer to a greased, covered bowl until doubled in size. ~1 hour.
• Punch the dough down and place it on a very lightly floured board. Divide into 4-8 pieces and shape. I would advise using as little flour as possible when shaping these. The more flour you add, the tougher the hoagies will be. Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and cover with lightly sprayed plastic wrap. Allow to rise again until almost doubled. ~30-45 minutes. Do NOT overproof them otherwise they will fall flat.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F. If you want to slash your bread, using a lame, make your slashes. If desired, brush with a coating of choice and bake for 16-23 minutes or until golden brown. To ensure doneness, test the internal bread temp. It should be at 200F.
• Allow to cool before cutting with a quality bread knife ( Sani-Safe S162-8SC-PCP 8″ Scalloped Bread Knife with Polypropylene Handle Pan )
