JUDY'S VOLCANO BREAD
Judy was a really fun lady that I worked with about 15 years ago. She brought this in to the office one day and it was addictive. You can add bacon if you like but I thought it was good just like this.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Flour: Bread flour or all-purpose flour can be used. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture, while all-purpose flour will give you a softer texture.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with sugar for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dough. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will help the bread to rise properly.
- Knead the Dough Properly: Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
- Let the Dough Rise Properly: Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment the dough and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
- Bake the Bread Properly: Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the Bread Cool Completely: Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
Conclusion:
Volcano bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The bread has a soft and chewy texture and a slightly crispy crust. It is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, jam, or cheese. With a little practice, you can easily make this bread at home and impress your friends and family.
