Country White Bread

SUBMITTED BY: Joanne Shew Chuk

"Anytime is the right time for a comforting slice of homemade bread. These loaves are especially nice since the crust stays so tender. This recipe is my husband Nick's favorite. He makes most of the bread at our house. -Joanne Shew Chuk, St. Benedict, Saskatchewan"

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, oil and 3 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half and shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.

This was my first time making homemade bread. Thanks TheQualityCookdotCom for recommending such a great recipe!! I only had 1 pack of yeast on hand. I halved the recipe and it turned out fantastic!! I am so proud that I finally baked bread. Thanks for the great recipe....I know that I will make it again.

This is by far the best bread recipe I have ever used! Now, I rarely buy bread from the store. I do add to it sometimes, 1tsp garlic granules or use onion salt instead of regular salt. I have substituted 1c rye flour, 1 1/2c wheat flour and the rest white flour. I have also done 3c wheat flour, and the rest white flour. I have ground up nuts (almonds, sunflower seeds, and flax seed). So far my family has loved everything. I am almost afraid to try another recipe. Thank you so much for the recipe.
