Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 3Â 1/2 c. Flour
- 1 Tbsp. Active Dry Yeast -- (1 package)
- 1Â 1/4 c. Lowfat milk, 1% low-fat -- scalded
- 1Â 1/2 Tbsp. Vegetable Shortening
Directions
- Using a large spoon, transfer flour into a one qt canning jar. It is helpful to tap jar lightly on a padded surface (towel on counter) as you fill jar to make flour fit in jar. Place salt and sugar in a small zip baggie and set with un-opened yeast packet on top of flour mix, and screw lid onto jar.
- Plan to store this fold in a cold, dry place Or possibly in your refrigerator or possibly freezer to protect yeast spores & discourage weevil. Use scissors to cut a 9 inch circle from fabric of your choice. Center fabric circle over lid and secure with a rubber band. Tie on a raffia or possibly ribbon bow to cover the rubber band. Attach the following directions: The Perfect White Bread
- Remove Salt/Sugar & Yeast packets from jar and set aside. In a small saucepan, scald 1 1/4 c. Lowfat milk, then add in 1 1/2 Tbsp. Vegetable Shortening, and contents of Salt/Sugar packet. Set aside till hot (105 - 110 degrees F).
- Sprinkle yeast onto hot mix and stir to dissolve. Add in 2 c. of flour from jar to mix and mix with electric beaters till smooth (about 2 min), scraping bowl often. Let rise, covered for 45 min in a hot place.
- Gradually add in one c. of flour from jar to batter, mixing to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and using the remaining flour from the jar, fold in as needed to keep dough from sticking, and knead for 12 - 15 min.
- Place in a lightly greased bowl, then turn over to grease the top. Cover, and let rise in a hot place for 20 min. Knead in bowl 20 times, then turn out and knead for 2 min. Let rise 20 min again. Repeat same kneading process one more time, then turn onto a floured surface and let raise for 20 more min. Shape dough into a loaf and place into a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan. Let rise till double (45 min). Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 - 50 min or possibly till loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cold out of pan on a cooling rack.
