Awesome Homemade Crusty Bread (ABM) image

This recipe was posted by Marie on Food.com. It was originally a 1 1/2 lb. loaf and I adjusted it to a 2 pound loaf. This is my favorite bread to make. Very easy and the ingredients are very simple with no eggs or dairy products. The flavor is excellent and reminds me of French Bread. Good for toast and sandwiches. Will...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/3 c warm water
2 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast
2 2/3 Tbsp shortening
2 2/3 Tbsp sugar
1 1/3 tsp salt
3 1/3 c all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Place ingredients in your bread machine according to directions.
  • 2. You can either bake it in your bread machine or set it on your dough cycle.
  • 3. If you use your dough cycle (which I prefer), remove your dough from the ABM and place on a lightly floured board.
  • 4. Knead the bread a few times to remove the air bubbles and then form the dough into a loaf. Place the loaf in a 9x5-inch bread pan that has been sprayed with Wilton Bake Easy (or use a similar baking spray). Let rise till doubled in size (this won't take very long so watch closely).
  • 5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 35 minutes (you should have a hollow sound when you tap your bread).
  • 6. Remove from the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy.
