Easy 1 hour Bread

Home Made Bread in only an Hour!

I swear when I saw this picture I actually smelled the bread baking...Then I realized it was my husband in the kitchen making popcorn.


I think I have an obsession with warm homemade bread right out of the oven. I have actually been know to parade around the house showing off the beautiful master pieces as I take them from the oven. If you need to feel good about yourself, then you may want to bake some bread.

Who wouldn't want a loaf of this, and really who couldn't make this when it's just that easy.
give it a try...Easy 1 hour Home Made Bread

There is even a video on how she made it, and if you are a visual person it will be enough to get you up out of your seat and into the kitchen baking.

Simple One Hour Homemade Bread
Makes 2 loaves
5 1/4 cups white bread flour
2 – 4 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. (rounded) saf-instant yeast
1 1/2 Tbsp. oil
2 cups warm water (somewhere between 100 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit)
1. Mix dry ingredients.  Add oil and water.  Mix for 1 minute and then check the consistency of the dough.  The dough should be very sticky.  If it is too dry, add more water.
2. Mix for 5 minutes.  (Do not add any more flour after the dough has finished mixing.)
3. Spray kneading surface with cooking spray and turn dough out onto surface.  Knead dough briefly until it has a smooth even consistency (this will only take several turns of the dough to accomplish).
4. Divide dough into 2 pieces (or more if you wish to have smaller loaves) and shape loaves into desired shapes and place on greased baking sheets.  Cover with a large dish towel and let rise for 25 minutes.
5. While loaves are rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  When loaves are ready to go into the oven, use a sharp knife (you can lightly spray your knife with cooking spray to prevent dragging) to make several slashes in the top.  Make each cut about 1/4-inch deep at a 30 degree angle.  Bake loaves for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
