EASY BATTER BREAD



Easy Batter Bread image

Posted in reply to a message board request. This is the recipe I used (over 40 years ago) when I made my first loaf of yeast bread. Its very simple to make, and produces a good, basic white bread for sandwiches and/or toast. If memory serves, the recipe was from the side of the Hecker's Unbleached Flour sack. Prep Time does not include the 1 to 2 hour rising time.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 Loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (110°-115°F)
3 cups all-purpose unbleached white flour (or unbleached white "bread flour")
2 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
unsalted butter, for brushing the top crust (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • Stir sugar into yeast/water mixture, let mixture sit until tiny bubbles start to form.
  • Add butter, salt and half the flour.
  • With electric mixer on medium speed, beat batter for 2 minutes.
  • Add remaining flour, stirring by hand (or on low speed) until well blended and smooth (batter will be very thick, like a very soft dough).
  • Cover bowl with a tea towel, and let the batter rise in a warm draft free place for 30-60 minutes or until doubled.
  • Beat the batter by hand, about 25 strokes (the dough will deflate).
  • Spread batter evenly into a greased 8x3 or 9x4 inch loaf pan.
  • Smooth out the top of the loaf by patting it with your floured hand.
  • Cover pan, and let batter rise again (about 30-60 minutes) until dough has reached the top of the pan.
  • Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when the top is lightly tapped.
  • Remove from pan.
  • For a softer crust, brush the top of the hot loaf with butter.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
  • Bread slices best when it is cooled.

BATTER BREAD- EASY YEAST BREAD- GRANDMA'S



Batter Bread- Easy Yeast Bread- Grandma's image

Grandma could stir up this no-knead white yeast bread quickly and bake it fresh for same day use. Of course it still takes a while because bread must rise, and that takes time. Prep time includes rising time. Nothing smells better in the kitchen than fresh bread baking.

Easy Cinnamon Raisin Batter Bread image

This is an old recipe that I got when I was in 4-H, many years ago. I have made this so many times and it never fails. Its easy and really good. I like to use this bread for toast or French toast.

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c raisins
1 1/2 c warm water (105-115 degrees)
1 pkg active dry yeast
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp salt
3 c all purpose flour, divided
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp cinnamon sugar for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Place raisins in hot water to soak for 30-60 minutes. This softens them and makes a better bread. Drain raisins and set aside. Use water from raisins in next step.
  • 2. Check raisin water temperature. It should be 105-115 degrees. In a large mixer bowl, stir together raisin water, yeast and honey. Add butter, salt, and 2 cups of the flour. Beat at low speed until combined. Then increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute. Stop mixer and stir in remaining flour by hand. Cover bowl (with a towel or saran wrap, not tightly) and let rise in a warm place, until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down dough with a wooden spoon and add raisins and cinnamon. Mix by hand until combined. Spoon dough into a buttered loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover loaf pan (with a towel or saran wrap, not tightly) and let rise until doubled, but it should not reach over top of pan. Sprinkle top of loaf with cinnamon sugar.
  • 3. Bake for about 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Flour: Use bread flour or all-purpose flour with a high protein content for a chewy texture.
  • Activate the Yeast: Always check the expiration date on your yeast and activate it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, resulting in a strong and elastic texture. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes by hand or 3-4 minutes in a stand mixer.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This process, known as proofing, helps the yeast produce gas and develop flavor.
  • Shape the Dough: Shape the dough into your desired shape, such as a loaf, rolls, or buns. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to make clean cuts.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature and bake the bread until it reaches an internal temperature of 190-200°F (88-93°C).
