After being gone for quite some time I decided that I will try to do this blog like everyday. I need to do something to keep myself occupied and I figure everyone loves food as much as I do, so why not share what I have learned.
So yesterday I went to goodwill and I know this is gonna sound weird but I bought a breadmaker for $5, and guess what? After a good scrub down and disinfection session I made some bread. The first loaf was a bit of a complete failure. Still doughy, didn't raise, not that great tasting, but I wasn't about to give up on the machine just yet. So the second bread I made turned out FANTASTIC! It was light and springy and soo good. The secret was that instead of dumping everything in the breadmaker, you need to let the yeast proof for about 5 minutes. So here is the great recipe I used and when I find my USB cable for my camera I will post a picture of the bread.
Amish White Bread
2 and 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil works just as well)
1 tea. yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tea. salt
1 cup and 2 Tbsp. warm water
In a non-metal bowl, mix 1/2 of the water, yeast and sugar and leave for 5 minutes. Once yeast has proofed (it will look bubbly) mix with the rest of the ingredients and rest of water in the breadmaker.
Ta-Da and you are done! Enjoy!
