Deliciocity Friday: Easy Bread Recipe

My hubby loves bread.

Sometimes if you give him bread and cream cheese he's his perfectly happy.

So I wanted an easy recipe that I could whip up without too much trouble.

This recipe is about as easy as it gets.

 

 

Ingredients:

2 cup warm water

1 package yeast

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons sugar

4 &1/2 cups flour 

(I used all purpose)

 

Start with the warm water in a medium bowl, add the yeast and stir thoroughly. Let sit for a few minutes.

 

Then add the salt and sugar. Next add the flour. I added a half cup at a time, continually mixing. I believe I added four and a half cups. Basically you want the dough a bit sticky but not bad.

 

Cover and let sit. After a little wait mix and kneed the dough some more. Then cover and let sit a little while longer.

 

Preheat over to 450 degrees.

Grease a regular loaf pan (or form into a loaf shape on a flat baking sheet) and place the dough in the pan. 

Bake for approximately 40 minutes.

 

It makes a dense, moist bread that tastes wonderful with a little butter.

 

(Sorry for lack of an after picture of the whole loaf, it smelled too good so I dug in before remembering to take a picture!)
