Knead some Dough

Last night I went to my weekly ACT math tutoring chill session (yuck. math.)

But instead of doing math last night, we made bread.

Lucky for you I've got the recipe!

Delicious Bread:

5 (1/4) cups of bread flour

1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 tblsp of salt

2 tblsp yeast

2 cups of hot water

combine and mix a little with a spatula, make sure to get the flour mixed up so it doesn't stick to the bottom

Then continue mixing in a KitchenAid

2 tblsp of Soy Lecithin

Continue mixing in the KitchenAid, add more water if needed - at this point you CANNOT add more flour. Let it mix for 7 more minutes.

In the meantime, Pam your bread pan/take a break.

After the 7 minutes, take out the dough and split it into two. Spray PAM onto your counter and mold your dough into a ball

smoothing it out and tucking the edges into the bottom.

Then stick into the pan (which should also be covered in PAM. We really love PAM).

Let it sit for about 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and then cook it for 25 to 30 minutes. 

Cinnamon Bread

There are really only some minor additions to the above recipe.

During the 7 minute mixing time; melt aprox 1/4 cup of butter (we added some vanilla to it as well - mmmm yummy)

And in a separate bowl we mixed up some spices. I can't remember what we put in because honestly, we just threw stuff in there.

Next we rolled out the dough until it looked like a square

Then we spread around the butter and vanilla using a.... paintbrush. Or something like that

Next spread the spice mixture AAALLLL over the dough

And fold in the side edges

And roll up the dough from one side to the other

Push in the last edges so nothing slips out of the dough

And tuck into the pan

Let it rise for 7 minutes, then cook it for the same time as the normal bread.

This bread tasted absolutely amazing. I'm actually going to go make some more right now...

ps- it tastes good with jam.

pps - Sorry if the pictures are blurry... my camera is on the fritz and the one I was using is evil.
