Picture coming soon bread still in oven!!!!


Ingredients:
4 cups of bread flour
2 1/2 cups of luke warm water
1 packet of active dry yeast
pinch of salt
1 tbsp of sugar in the raw
1 tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
In a small bowl add two and a half cups of luke warm water along with the packet of yeast and tbsp of sugar, stir with a fork and let rest for five minutes. You will notice the yeast activating (foam) In a large bowl (or counter top) add 4 cups of flour make a well in the middle and add the water mixture and salt. Mix well and knead till the dough forms together. In a baking pan coat the bottom with the olive oil and place dough in pan, cover with film and let rest for 30-45 minutes in an non ventilated area. Once it has proofed (about double in size) place in oven 35 minutes.
and you will have the best bread ever....

    sounds delicious. What's your portion size for that 100 calorie per slice and how many does it serve?

    YUM! I have never made bread before. This "looks" easy enough! I might try it, although my problem is that I would probably eat the whole loaf in one sitting!

    So, with this, what you're saying is that WORST CASE SCENARIO is 2000 calories if I eat it ALL at once! Got it!

    That's right!!!! But if you can manage to burn some cals with exercise it will counter balance. Maybe I should ride my bike while bread is still in oven...hmmmm.

    I wouldn't REALLY eat the whole loaf. Just fantasize about it. :ohwell:

    I'm getting much better at portion control. I tend to cook meals in big batches and portion everything out in single serving containers.

    Yep! That's what i do as well. this bread and eggplant parmigiana will be portioned and saved for other meals.. Tommorrow I am experimenting on making Sushi "Italian Sooshi" using arborio rice (risotto) instead and basil leaf instead of sea weed wrap + other ingredients...

    Yes! just today my daughter decided to make bread and she subbed it with rice flour and added a tbsp of honey.. It was delicious.
    Note: rice flour is a bit more denser then bread flour so it must be cooked longer and at a lower temp. about 25 degrees lees then reg bread flour...
