| http://www.daydreamkitchen.com/2012/09/amish-country-bread/Ingredients 4 Tbsps Sugar 2 Tbsps Butter 3 tsps Salt 1 1/2 C hot water 2 Tbsps of rapid rise yeast 5 Cups of flour Directions Put all ingredients but the flour into the mixer (KitchenAid) and let sit for a few minutes so, as Lindsey likes to say, “the yeast can do it’s thing”. Add the flour in small batches & mix with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes. Remove & place in a bowl that has been greased & let dough rise until double in size (about 30 min). Punch down & divide in half into 2 rounds and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cut decorative slits on top. Let dough rise again. Rub an egg white wash (1 egg white + 1 tbsp water) over the top and sprinkle with kosher salt. I added the dried rosemary & parmesan here. Bake at 400 degrees for 17-20 minutes (for me it took about 25 minutes). From http://morganmoore.typepad.com/one_more_moore/2007/03/amish_country_b.htmlI just made it with whole wheat white flour and it came out great. I cut the flour down to 4 1/2 cups. | |
