I finally lost my homemade bread-making virginity!!
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet rapid rise yeast
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water
olive oil, for greasing
Directions:
In the bowl of
your stand mixer, pour warm water {110-115 degrees}, and sprinkle in one
packet of rapid rise yeast. Let the yeast bloom for 5 minutes. Grease a
large bowl with olive oil.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, measure and mix the flour with the kosher salt.
Stir the flour into the yeast-water until just combined. Using a dough hook, mix until the dough is smooth and tacky.
Form the dough in to a ball and toss it in the oiled bowl. Roll the dough to coat with oil. Place a damp towel over top and place the bowl in a warm area to rise, double in size.
Punch down and
form into a long log and slide into an cool, non-preheated oven.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees {while the loaf is in the oven}, and set the timer for 30-35 minutes.
