Feather Bread (Bread Maker - for Bread - Rolls - and Buns.) image

Love baking bread and rolls. When wrists began to make kneading difficult I got a bread maker - my hand made recipe#146085 now only made for those special occasions when family gather. This recipe goes back to my first bread maker and is the one I turn to when needing fresh bread or rolls with the taste of old fashioned bread ... in my bread maker perfect bread every time which is a real plus when expecting guests. Great on the dough cycle for rolls and those recipes calling for frozen bread dough - especially for the pull apart breads. Just the right amount of dough to fill a bundt pan when making Manda's awesome Monkey Bread recipe#17248. Do check your bread maker recipe book to assure it can make a dough using four cups of flour.

Time 2h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
3 tablespoons margarine
2 teaspoons salt (I use one teaspoon)
2 tablespoons sugar (I use 1tablespoon for bread and dinner buns - 2 - 3 tablespoons for the sweet roll.)
4 cups flour (I whisk the flour before measuring)
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (I use Fleishmans bread maker yeast. Keep jar in fridge when not using, take out five minutes before )

Steps:

  • Be sure to whisk that flour before measuring - I soften the margarine in the micro wave.
  • Place ingredients in order listed with the flour and yeast going in last.
  • Choose your cycle.During the first mixing check to assure your dough has the right amount of flour and water - dough should look nice and shiny.Flours differ so you may need to add lukewarm water a teaspoon at a time if it is too dry- a sprinkling of flour if too sticky. Never add more then 3 tablespoons of either the flour or the water. In my breadmaker the whisked flour and the carefully measured ingredients are right on. Makes a large loaf.
  • FOR DOUGH use dough cycle - when cycle complete shape into bread, buns or rolls. I often make braided loaves topping with sesame seeds.
  • Brush tops with softened butter or margarine.Rise 20 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
  • Bake in a 350 oven until nicely golden brown brushing with softened butter or margarine just before they are done - I brush them again when I take them out - makes for nice tops.
  • Time varies - check your machine. Cooking time is machine and baking time.
