Ingredients
- 5 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of instant yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon of salt
- 2 1/3 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Directions
1Mix together water, sugar, and yeast. Mix it all until yeast is dissolved. Into the mixture add the rest of the ingredients. I use the bread maker on a manual setting to knead the dough for me. If you don’t have one, combine all the ingredients in the large bowl and knead the dough for about 20 to 30 minutes, till it smooth and elastic.
2Divide the dough into two equal loaves and put them in the heavy greased bread pans. (Use coconut oil to grease your pans) Using a sharp knife cut the line on the top of each loaf. If you don’t do that, when you baking your bread the bubble will appear inside of it. And trust me you don’t want to have a giant hole in your bread. Let the dough rise. In the warm months, it takes about 30 minutes in the winter, and in early spring it will take about 50 to 60 minutes.
3Once your loaves nearly tripled in size, as you see here in the picture. Move them into the oven and bake them at 420 degrees for 25 minutes. (VERY IMPORTANT- DO NOT PREHEAT YOUR OVEN. Turn it on after you place your bread in the oven.) After 25 minutes, rotate the bread, cover it with foil and bake another 10 minutes. Enjoy!
