Five Ingredient Bread Recipe






Hello, and happy Sunday evening to you all!!! I've been meaning to try this recipe, and then get everything posted for you guys, but I guess you could say I've been procrastinating a bit on this. Its not that I didn't want to do it, it was more I had to wait for a day that I didn't have five billion things going on. As we all know home made bread requires some time, with all of the kneading and rising, and blah blah blah...thankfully though, this recipe doesn't do all the excess rising, you know let it rise, punch it down, let it rise again, put it in the bread thing, to rise a third or fourth time...I like it. This stuff has a decent flavor, and is nice and moist. Moist enough that you will want to maybe let it dry over night if you want to use it for sandwich bread.

Alright lets get on with the Recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cups of warm water
2/3 cup honey
1 & 3/4 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 & 1/2 tsp salt
6 cups of bread flour

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together warm water and honey, until honey is dissolved. Then add yeast and cover with a towel.

In about 10 to 20 minutes when the mixture is frothy, mix in salt and add bread flour 1 cup at a time. Once you have it mixed as well as you can, add extra flour to your hands and knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Then place the kneaded dough in a large greased bowl, and cover with a towel.

After about an hour when the dough has raised, punch down and then knead again for a few minutes. Divide into two lightly greased loaf pans and cover with a towel and allow the dough to rise for another 30 min.

Bake in a preheated oven @ 325 for 30 to 35 minutes.

See, easy!!! Now here's a little tip for measuring the honey, and then getting it in the water. I actually saw this on an episodes of 19 kids and counting...yes...I watch the Duggars...and I've picked up more than one handy tip.  So take the cup your going to measure your honey in, and then pour vegetable oil in it, swirl it around so that it covers the sides, and then pour the honey into that measuring cup, and it will just slide right out. Nice and Easy!!!

Alrighty, hope everybody has a great night, and enjoys this tasty recipe!!!!
