- 2 cups whole wheat or white flour or
a combination
- 1/4 cup sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons yeast or 1 packet of
yeast
- 1/3 cup dry milk powder
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 medium egg
- 1 cup warm tap water
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar,
salt, yeast and dry milk powder. Mix it up
with a whisk or a fork until it is well
blended. Add the oil, egg and warm tap
water. Stir again, making a nice smooth
mixture, along the consistency of cake
batter. Turn the batter into a well oiled 8
or 9-inch, square or round pan. Set the pan
aside in a warm place and allow the yeast to
work for about 30 minutes. It won't look
like it has risen very much. That is
alright. Bake the bread at 400° for about 20
minutes. It will rise up golden brown and
very pretty. Remove it from the oven when
the top is medium dark brown. A knife
inserted in the center should come out
clean. Cut the bread into 12 pieces and
serve hot with margarine. This yeast bread
has a texture similar to muffins. You could
even bake it in a muffin pan if you were so
inclined. The flavor is so heavenly, your
guests will beg for the recipe and never
believe how easy it is to prepare. Excellent
with any meal calling for a simple hot
bread.
