Best 4 Mos White Or Red River Wheat Bread Recipes

BASIC ITALIAN BREAD

Steps:

• Place the water and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer and allow the yeast to bloom for about 5 minutes. Using a dough hook attachment, add the flour and sugar to the water and mix on low speed until a dough starts to form. Drizzle the oil and salt into the dough and beat on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a smooth, firm, elastic dough is formed.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and spray the dough with a thin coating of cooking spray. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to proof in a warm, draft-free place for 11/2 hours or until doubled in size. Remove the plastic wrap, punch down and flatten the rounded dough with the heel of your hand. Roll the dough up tightly, sealing the seam well after each roll. The dough should be elongated and oval-shaped, with tapered and rounded (not pointed) ends.
• Preheat the oven lined with a pizza stone to 425 degrees F. Alternately, an inverted baking sheet may be used in place of a pizza stone.
• Place the dough on a baker's peel heavily dusted with semolina flour, or cornmeal, or alternately on an inverted baking sheet. Allow the dough to proof, loosely covered with a damp towel, for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size. Brush the dough with the egg white and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top. Using a razor blade or sharp knife, score 3 (1/4-inch deep) slashes across the top of the dough at a 45 degree angle.
• Spray the dough generously with water from a water bottle and place in the oven on the baking stone. Immediately close the oven and bake for 3 minutes. Open the oven door and spray the dough again with the water bottle. Close the oven door and bake for an additional 3 minutes before spraying the dough for a third time (the spraying of the dough will ensure a crisp golden brown crust). Bake the dough for 45 minutes, or until a hollow thud is heard when the bread is whacked with the bowl of a wooden spoon. Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving.

MAMA D'S ITALIAN BREAD

Steps:

• Add the sugar and yeast to the warm water and let proof.
• Stir in 4 cups of flour and beat until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Beat in the salt and then add enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead until as soft and smooth as a bambino's behind. Turn in a greased bowl, cover, and let double in size. (I put it in the oven with the light on - perfect rising temperature.)
• Once doubled, punch down and divide into three. Place back in the bowl, cover, and let rise.
• Once doubled again, punch down and form into three fat "footballs." Grease heavy cookie sheets and sprinkle with corn meal. Place the bread on the sheets, cover with a towel, and let rise.
• Once risen, mist with water and place in a preheated 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven. Mist loaves with water and turn occasionally while they bake. Bread is done when golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

RED RIVER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheated oven @ 375°F.
• Greased cake pan.
• * A bread machine can well be put to use blending the dough using only the first cycle.
• By Hand:.
• Mix the dry ingredients together (witholding the 2 Tbl of Red River cereal), yeast included.
• Blend together the oil, water and molasses.
• Quickly mix the wet and dry ingredients.
• Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
• Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it into the prepared pan. Cut an "X" into the top of the loaf.
• Mix the egg and water and lightly brush the egg wash over the bread. Only use enough to cover the topof the dough. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of Red River cereal over the dough. ** Egg substitute may be used in place of the egg wash.
• Cover the bread dough with a warm damp cloth and set in a warm place to rise til double, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Bake in preheated 375F oven about 30 minutes or til bread tests done (turn th bread out into your covered hand and tap the bottom center of the loaf - a hollow sound tells you it's done).
• NOTE: The cooking time listed includes the rising time.

WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Put the ingredients in the bread machine container in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the whole-grain or basic/white bread cycle. Proceed as directed by the manufacturer. When the bread is done, let cool on a cooling rack before slicing.
