Mom'S Yeast Bread Recipe

Name: Mom'S Yeast Bread
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons instant yeast; 3/4 cup warm water; 2 cups skim milk, lukewarm; 3 tablespoons sugar; 3 tablespoons Crisco, melted (or oil); 1 tablespoon salt; 7 -8 cups all-purpose flour; 1/4 cup wheat germ; 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten; 1 -2 tablespoon butter, for top of bread

Servings: persons

2 tablespoons instant yeast
3/4 cup warm water
2 cups skim milk, lukewarm
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons Crisco, melted (or oil)
1 tablespoon salt
7 -8 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 -2 tablespoon butter, for top of bread

1
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in large bowl. This usually takes about 5 minutes. If you don't see any bubbles/foaming, your yeast is dead, start over.
2
Add the milk, Crisco, salt, wheat germ, vital wheat gluten, and about 4 cups flour. I usually heat the milk and Crisco in the microwave so the Crisco melts, and the milk gets warm all in one step.
3
Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough forms a ball, and starts leaving the sides of the bowl.
4
Knead the bread, adding flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic. I usually knead about 3-5 minutes.
5
Let bread rise in a covered bowl in a warm place until double in size (about 30-60 minutes).
6
Punch down and form into loaves or rolls and place in a greased and floured pan.
7
Let rise about 30 minutes more. Bake at 425 degrees 25-30 minutes, or till the bottom of the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
8
Remove from pans and place on racks to cool.
9
Butter tops while still warm, if desired. Cool completely before wrapping.
