As I stated before on the blog (yesterday to be exact) I had tried to make bread....but unlike yesterday, I have SUCCESS! (happy dancce!)
Anyways I found this recipe on allrecipe. It is for an amish white bread and it is pretty awesome I have to say.
Amish White Bread
Ingredients
2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit)2/3 C white sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups of bread flour (I used all purpose, it might have turned out even better if I had used bread flour)
Directions
1) In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam
I forgot to take a picture of it after it got all foamy...I apologize
2) Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Mine took just a little over an hour to rise. So if it goes over by about 10 or 20 minutes don't panic.
3) Punch dough down. Knead it just a little more, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Let it rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
As you can see mine never really made it up and over the pan, my problem is that i added too much sugar (I added 3/4 cup sugar instead of 2/3 C like it said...because I am blind or I can't read...I'll let you decide which!)
4) Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
On another, more romantic, total "Awwwwww" Moment of the day award goes to my beloved, David. While me and my sister (Ally) were having a girls afternoon of chick flicks and cartoons, David went and got us all an Ice Cream cake (my total favorite type of cake).
