AMISH SWEET & YEASTY WHITE BREAD OR ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. *Prep time does not include rise times. Warm milk in a medium sauce pan until it just starts to bubble; remove from heat. Mix in butter, sugar and salt. Stir until melted. Cool to the temp of warm bath water.
• 2. In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy. In mixer bowl of stand mixer, combine yeast mixture with lukewarm milk mixture (think warm bath water), 2 eggs and 2 cups of flour. Stir to combine. On setting 2 of stand mixer fitted with dough hook, gradually add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough forms a ball and cleans sides and bottom of mixer bowl. If it climbs over the top of your dough hook, you need more flour. (Dough should not be sticky. The amount of flour can differ, depending on many things including humidity, brand, etc. Use your eyes and your touch as your guide. Keep feeling it. It should clean the sides of bowl, form a ball and not stick all over your hands when handled. Stop adding flour right when it is no longer sticky. Flour measurements in bread baking recipes are always approximate.) Once you hit the right consistency, knead on speed 2 for 5 minutes. (By hand 8-10 minutes.)
• 3. Place dough in large buttered bowl, turning once. Cover with Saran Wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Heat oven to 250 degrees and place bowl on hot pad on back burner to rise until doubled, approximately 1 hour. Use a big enough bowl... it gets pretty big! This bowl is 11" in diameter and 5 1/2 " high.
• 4. Punch down dough and form into desired loaves or rolls on very lightly floured counter. If forming into rolls, rolls should be placed so that sides are just touching. (For the nicest looking loaves and rolls, please check out some of the awesome online tutorials. Shaping the loaves or rolls correctly makes a huge difference in how your breads turn out.) Place in greased pans, cover with sprayed Saran Wrap and allow to rise until doubled, approximately 1 hour. For loaves, I like them to rise about 1 1/2-2 inches above pan. When just about ready, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees. For rolls, approximately 15-20 minutes, or until golden. For bread, 20-25 minutes, or until you can tilt the bread partially out of the pan onto a hot pad covered hand and the bottom is golden, not doughy. Watch carefully as all ovens are different. Bread loaves should be removed from pan immediately and cooled on wire racks. Rolls can cool in the pan. Brush gently with melted butter. Try to wait until bread has cooled for the nicest slices, then slather with butter or jam and enjoy!

AMISH WHITE BREAD LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Put water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl, set aside for 10 minutes while yeast proofs. 2. Meanwhile pour the rest of the sugar as well as the salt, oil and flour into mixer bowl. When yeast proofs, add to other ingredients in mixer bowl and using a dough hook, mix for 8 minutes on 1 or 2 setting. 3. Pour into a large greased bowl, cover and set aside for 1-1/2 hours if using bread flour. When through rising, gently deflate dough and divide the dough in half. By hand, fold and shape dough into two loaves and place in two 9 x 4 greased loaf pans. Let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 325 degrees (F) for 35 minutes. 4. Turn out of pans onto a cooling rack and brush tops with butter. Test for doneness by thumping on bottom of loaf - it should sound hollow. Cut end off, slather on butter and eat!!! (If you use all purpose flour, rising time will not be as long. The prep time includes first rising time. It only takes about 15 mnutes to actually get this ready to rise. On dry days 5-1/2 cups of flour works up great, with high humidity you may have to use a little more flour.)
