TWO HOUR BREAD

Two Hour Bread

3 cups lukewarm water
¼ cup sugar
6 tbsp. oil (or melted shortening)
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. (2 packages) quick rise yeast
1 egg
7-8 cups flour or enough to make workable dough
Mix yeast and 4 cups flour .In a separate bowl, whip egg, sugar, oil and water. Add flour/yeast mixture. Blend well. Add remaining flour and salt. Mix with hands until enough flour has been used so it is no longer sticky. Let rise in bowl for 15 minutes. Punch down. DO NOT KNEAD. Let rise again for 15 minutes. Punch down again and form into loaves or buns. Cover and let rise 1 hour or 1 hour 10 minutes.Bake at 350: 15 - 18 minutes for buns, 35 -40 minutes for loavesMakes 3 loaves
Some tips for new Bread Makers:1.Make sure dough rises in a warm place.If it is too cool in my house,I put oven light on and let dough rise (in bowls and in pans ) in oven.If you use oven to keep dough warm remember to take out about 10 minutes early so you can heat oven.2.I put a bit of butter on the bread once it goes in the pans to rise, then I put wax paper , or a clean dish towel over bread to keep warmth in. I did not realize this makes a shinier crust...I do it so dough doesn't stick to wax paper or towel. I brush the top of bread once it is baked, as soon as it comes out of the oven.3.Grease your pans. I also grease the bowl my dough rises in.4. You can also make rolls with this recipe. I think maybe 3 dozen. or, you can make 2 loaves and some rolls. You can make single rolls and put them in a square pan, or you can make rolls in muffin tins with 2 balls or with 3 balls.(3 are called cloverleaf rolls) For bread you can make a single roll or make 2 buns for a double loaf and put in same pan.
