This recipe brings back fond memories of growing up. I used to babysit for the lady that gave my mom this recipe. It is the first regular bread I made that turned out! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon yeast |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 cup hot water |
1 egg |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted |
2 cups water |
4 cups whole wheat flour |
4 cups white flour |
Directions:
1. Mix yeast, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Leave 10 minutes.
2. In large bowl mix egg, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and melted butter. Stir. Add yeast mixture and 2 cups warm/hot water and stir.
3. Add 4 cups whole wheat flour and 4 cups white flour (3 at first).
4. Knead for 10 minutes. Make sure dough is soft - but not sticky. If it is sticky - add more flour - a little at a time.
5. Put dough in greased bowl and let rise for about an hour.
6. Punch dough down. Knead for 1-2 minutes.
7. Cut and form into loaves. Grease pans really good.
8. Cover and let rise until double. About 30-40 minutes.
9. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. If desired, butter tops.
