Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 cooking spray

Directions:

  1. In a large, deep bowl combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Next, add the hot water and oil. Stir; mixture will be sticky.
  2. Spread a bit of flour onto your kneading surface and begin kneading the dough for five minutes. Add flour as necessary so as dough doesn't stick to surface BUT take care not to add too much or dough will be tough and bulky.
  3. Place kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a cloth that has been dampened with cool water. Allow Quick Bread to rise for 30 minutes.
  4. Spray baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer Quick Bread to loaf pan OR shape into rolls if desired. Our picture of Quick Bread above illustrates both methods. Before baking, brush surface of bread with egg wash. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven until golden brown.
  5. Our Quick Bread recipe makes 1 loaf of bread or 1 1/2 dozen rolls. Entire recipe contains about 1,450 calories. The use of olive oil provides a unique flavor to the Quick Bread while adding healthy benefits. If perchance you don't have olive oil on hand, your favorite oil may be used instead.
  6. We recommend experimenting with our Quick Bread recipe by adding any of the following ingredients to create different varieties of Quick Bread: nuts, raisins, oatmeal (dried), dried fruits, crushed rosemary, pickled jalapeno, cinnamon & raisins.
