My Go To Bread Recipe

I found it!!! I've been going through boxes we packed a year ago and among them *cue angelic music and spot light*

 

Okay, if you can't read Laurascript, here's the recipe in English.

Milkless Bread

1/2 Tbs yeast

2 1/4 C warm water

1 Tbs (I add three)

6-7 C flour

1 Tbs salt

Mix yeast and warm water, let set for a few minutes. 

I add the sugar directly to the water/yeast mixture after it's started to bloom.

Stir in flour till it clumps then knead into a ball.

Sprinkle on 1 Tbs salt and knead into the dough. 

Stop kneading when it the dough starts to bounce back.

Set it in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel. Let rise for 2 hours. The directions say set it away from heat... counter intuitive, but it works. 

Form your loaves and let set for another 1 1/2 hours.

Cook at 425 for 30 minutes.

I got this recipe from my grandmother when we were trying to figure out if my second daughter had food allergies and went milk and egg less for a while. This recipe is so good I've continued to use it. It's simple and only has a few ingredients. The only thing is it takes time, but it's worth it!

Last night I used it to make flat bread for tacos. I let is rise for the first two hours then flattened it and fried it.

 

 This was our bread for breakfast. It would have been larger, but I ended up making more flat bread than planned since Tamarin ate two whole rounds on her own.

  

Tamarin and Lemur ate three slices each this morning. I got to use my Christmas gift to myself today for the first time! See the bread slicer there on the right? I'm a sucker for kitchen stuff. Anyway, there it is. Hope someone enjoys it.
