New Bread Recipe

A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to watch:
Homestead Blessings: The Art of Bread Making
on http://www.thehomeschoolchannel.tv/

My daughter and I tried their recipe and really like it (even though, to our taste, it needed more salt and sweetness).

So, today, I did just that. I made another loaf of their wonderful bread, tweaking the recipe by adding more salt and more sweetness. YUMMY!!!

Here is The West Ladies original Bread Recipe:

In a bowl:
2 1/2 C. Warm Water

Add:
2 C. Flour
Stir until well mixed.

Add:
1 t. Salt
1/2 C. Oil
1/2 C. Honey
Mix well.

Add:
1 T. Yeast
and mix well.

Add:
1-3 C. Flour...1 C. at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Then, knead in thta bowl til you have a soft dough.
Now place a small amount of oil in the bottom of the bowl. Leave dough in the bowl and let rise til double.

Now, punch the dough down and knead alittle on a lightly floured surface.
Place dough into 2 greased bread pans. Poke holes with a fork. Cover and let rise.
Bake at 350* for 30 minutes.
