Delicious bread for breakfast

★Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)

1/4 cup sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

Boston Cream Donuts

Pork chops with honey garlic

★Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water.
• Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

1. Mix the Dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yeast mixture, oil, and egg.
• Mix until the dough comes together.

1. Knead the Dough:

• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
• Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

1. First Rise:

• Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to grease the top.
• Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

1. Shape the Dough:

• Punch down the dough to release the air.
• Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.

1. Second Rise:

• Place the shaped dough into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
• Cover again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, until it has risen slightly over the top of the pan.

1. Bake the Bread:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

1. Cool the Bread:

• Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
• Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy!
