Homemade bread


This recipe is SO easy! It makes making bread worth it!

10 1/2 cups white bread flour or wheat flour (not all-purpose) (grind 6 1/2-7 cups of wheat and it will equal about 10 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 rounded tablespoons SAF instant yeast
3 tablespoons liquid lecithin
4 cups hot tap water

Mix dry ingredients. Add lecithin (do not measure the lecithin! It is too sticky. Just pour 3 quarter size amounts and it will equal about 3 Tbs. lecithin.) and water. Mix for 1 minute and check consistency. If dough is too dry, add more water. If dough is too moist, add more flour. Mix for 5 minutes. Do not add water or flour to the dough after it has finished mixing. Spray counter and pans with cooking spray. Take dough out of bowl immediately, kneed, and shape into loaves (give them a good spanking to get the air bubbles out). Put them into 4 loaf pans (4x8 size) and cover lightly with a towel. Let raise for 25 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
