Bread Recipe

Ok, Pamela, here is the recipe for the bread.

This has to be the easiest bread recipe I have ever used. I have been using it for years, ever since they came out with so called "instant" or quick rising yeast.

2 Hour Bread or Buns

• 3 cups water (lukewarm)
• 8 tablespoons sugar
• 6 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons "instant" yeast (fast rise)
• 2 eggs
• enough flour to make a workable dough (7-8 cups)

Mix yeast and 4 cups of flour. In a separate bowl whip eggs, sugar, oil and water. Add yeast/flour mixture and blend well; add remaining flour and salt.

The recipe doesn't say this; but I knead it until the dough is nice and smooth and feels ready, (you will know when it gets there).

Let rise for 15 minutes. Punch down, do not knead. Let rise for another 15 minutes, punch down and form into either bread or buns, put into greased pans. Let rise for 1 hour.

Bake in a 350° F. oven for 15-18 minutes for buns, longer for bread.

This will make about 4 to 5 dozen buns depending of course on how big you make them or 2 to 3 loaves of bread.

Remove from oven and enjoy with fresh butter. Yummy.

I'm Back

I haven't actually been anywhere, except hanging out in bed and on the recliner. I have been fighting a nasty cold for over a week now and it seems to be leaving finally. I haven't really been out of the house hardly during this week, so therefore nothing much to blog about.

I got a little energetic the other day and made a pumpkin pie with whipped cream and a couple of dozen raisin tarts. Very tasty. Today I felt like baking so made some buns and a couple of loaves of bread. Nothing like the taste of fresh bread right out of the oven. Yum, Yum.
