But it is delicious!
For years I have unsuccessfully been trying to bake bread. Each time it would turn out hard as a rock and wet in the middle. But this time ladies and gentlemen, we had a winner. Here's the recipe for Delicious But Unhealthy White Bread (makes 2 loaves).
Ingredients:
-2 packages active dry yeast
-3 tablespoons sugar
-2 1/2 cups warm water
-3 tablespoons butter, softened
-1 tablespoon salt
-6 1/2 cups flour
1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir in butter, salt and two cups of the flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
2.Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3.Punch the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans (or save one for the next day in the fridge). Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
4.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
5.Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Voila!
