Mom's Delicious Homemade Bread image

This is my Mom's recipe. It is so good, very light and fluffy with a crispy crust on the bottom. Very simple too. Can be used to make rolls, or loaves. You can easily double it. You can also add 1c. raisins and/or slivered almonds,orange/lemon zest and vanilla extract to a loaf for a festive holiday bread. The options are endless!

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 loaves, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
5 -6 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Combine warm water, yeast, oil and honey in a large bowl, let sit for 5 minutes then add the salt and egg. Stir all together.
  • Add the flour one cup at a time, stirring together after each cup. Around the 5th cup your dough will begin to come together pulling away from the sides of the bowl and forming a ball.
  • Empty the dough onto a clean, floured surface and begin kneading the dough adding a little more flour as it becomes sticky. It should be slightly sticky. Knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth, firm and elastic.
  • Set aside to rise until double.
  • Divide dough into 2 loaves or 1 loaf and 12 rolls or all rolls if you like. Place in well greased loaf pan or rolls on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Set aside to rise until almost double once more.
  • Bake loaves for 25-30 minutes, or rolls for 15 minutes. They should be golden brown on top and bottom when done.
