This quick-and-easy yeast bread is a favorite of my daughter and my best friend. They could sit down and eat an entire loaf! Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
3 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
3 tablespoons shortening |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
7 to 8 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the shortening, sugar, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add the cheeses, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide in half; shape into two loaves.
3. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Do not let rise. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
