Susie Indy, I had a feeling that
something was awry with you. Sorry you
had so many health problems and I'm glad
you are on the mend. The Easy Bread is
so good. My family really likes it and
would be happy if I made it once a week.
My sister is a wonderful cook, although
she is hampered at the moment with her
broken wrist, so I will send her recipe.
It really is easy. I stir mine up and
let it sit overnight in the frig. I
didn't use parchment paper because it
said on the box not to use in an oven
over 400º. I also added a pinch of sugar
in with the yeast. This makes three nice
round loaves of bread, very good for
dipping in olive oil with parmesan
cheese. Doris, S. Indiana
Easy Bread.
Combine the following in a large plastic
container, approx. 6 qt.
3 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
6 1/2 to 7 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Stir this all up and grease the bowl
good. I used garlic oil to grease the
bowl good.
I covered it and put it in the garage,
because it is like a fridge out there.

Today, I brought in the dough, then....
I turned the oven to 450º and put a
cookie sheet with sides on the bottom
shelf.
I took the bread and made three round
loaves. I cut a 1/2 inch cut in the top
of the bread. More than one cut if the
loaf is larger.
I put the bread on parchment paper on a
cookie sheet and put it in the oven.
Then, I poured a cup of hot water in the
pan on the bottom shelf. This makes the
bread really crusty. I also sprayed the
sides of the oven a few times while
baking to also increase the crustiness.
I baked it for 25-30 minutes. It makes a
delicious crusty bread.
I got this recipe from
