5 1/2 cups warm water
3 tbsp. yeast
4 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
14 cups flour
Place
in large bowl water, yeast, salt, butter and sugar. With a wire whisk,
whip until smooth. Add flour. The dough should be very soft and sticky.
This keeps your bread soft. Put a little vegetable oil on hands and work
dough until it looks smooth. It does not need kneading. Let rise once,
punch down and form into loaves. Makes 4 loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for
30 minutes.
The recipe makes 4 loaves, but unless I intend to share I usually cut the recipe in half.
Jemimah enjoys eating her bread toasted with the plum jam we made last summer. : ) Over the weekend we purchased a booster seat for her, and she loves being able to sit up at the table with us. We both enjoy watching the birds eat at the bird feeder outside the kitchen window. Every day one or two Red-bellied Woodpeckers will come to our feeder, and Jemimah seems especially captivated by them.
It is hard to believe January will soon be coming to an end. It has been a cozy month, and productive. I hope to share some of my recent projects with you soon.
Matthew 4:4 "Jesus answered 'It is
written : Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God. '"
