Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups warm water (not hot)
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder (instant powdered milk)
1/3 cup sugar or 1/4 cup honey
4 teaspoons yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup oil
12 cups white flour or 12 cups whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • Using a very large bowl, mix the water, dry milk powder and sugar. Add the yeast, sort of sprinkled on top. Allow the mixture to sit until the yeast dissolves some, this should only take a couple of minutes. Add the salt, margarine or oil, and flour. Mix with a wooden spoon until it gets too stiff and then dig in with your hands. When the dough is in a nice cohesive ball, turn it out onto a floured kitchen table or counter.
  • Knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary as you go along.
  • Coat the dough with oil, about 2 tablespoons of it, and put it into the bowl. Cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and let it set in a warm place to rise for about an hour or so. It should double in bulk. It may take up to two hours on cool days, or in the air conditioning, so be patient.
  • Punch down the dough by literally pressing your fist into the center of it. Divide the dough into 4 equal lumps. Coax them into loaf shapes and place them into large (9- by 5-inch) well oiled loaf pans. Cover the dough with a clothor more plastic wrap and let it rise again. It should take less time for the second rising. en the dough is risen up enough, bake the loaves at 350F for about 40 inutes.
  • You can tell the bread is done by thumping the bottom with your finger. If it doesn't make a dull, hollow sound, put it back into the pan a bake a short while longer.

FAMILY FRY BREAD



Family Fry Bread image

Each tribe has their own recipe for fry bread. This is a recipe that I came across as a teenage girl while staying at my great-grandma's house. Grandma was Native American, and I found that this recipe creates a delicious fry bread for Indian tacos. Fry bread is commonly used for making Indian tacos, but is also good with honey butter or cinnamon-sugar and butter for a dessert. Warm milk can be substituted for the water.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, gather all your ingredients and tools. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Follow the Recipe Carefully: Baking is a science, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly. Don't substitute ingredients or change the proportions, unless you know what you're doing.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your bread will taste. If possible, use organic, local ingredients.
  • Pay Attention to the Temperature: The temperature of your ingredients and your oven is critical for successful baking. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can make your bread tough. Mix your ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the Bread Rise Properly: Rising is an important step in the bread-making process. It allows the yeast to produce carbon dioxide, which gives bread its light and airy texture. Don't rush the rising process.
  • Bake the Bread Until It's Golden Brown: The best way to tell if your bread is done baking is to insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.

Conclusion:

Baking bread at home is a rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create delicious, fresh bread that your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
