Another Bread Recipe

Sorry if you're getting sick of all the bread, but at least this one won't take too much time.

Fast Bread
2 c warm water
2 packages yeast (or 2 T)

Dissolve yeast in water and add:

2 T shortening (oil)
2 t salt
1/4 c sugar
4-6 c flour

Stir in to form soft but not sticky dough. Let rise 15 minutes. Divide into two parts. Pound each part for one minute. Place in greased pans and let rise for 15 minutes more. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.


I was pleasantly surprised with this bread. It tastes like white bread, no surprise, but it has a good texture. It is soft, holds together well for spreading peanut butter, and wasn't dry. I'm still not exactly sure how to pound dough. I used my KitchenAid and turned it up so it would beat the dough against the bowl.
