French Bread
 
5 1/2 - 6 cups flour
1 Tbsp.. salt
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 pkgs. yeast ( I use 3 Tbsp.. )
3 Tbsp.. shortening
2 cups very hot water
 
Mix dry ingredients together.  Add hot water and shortening. Knead for about 5 minutes or until smooth. Divide into 2 or 3 pieces, depending on size of loaves you want.  Roll out and then roll up like a jelly roll, tapering the ends.  Brush each loaf with egg white if desired and top with sesame seeds, or whatever you like.
Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.  Sometimes I roll some pepperoni and provolone or mozzarella cheese inside if this.
 
 
 
English Muffin Bread
 
2 cups milk
1/2 cup hot water
5-6 cups flour
2 pkgs. yeast ( I use three Tbsp..)
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
cornmeal
 
Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add warmed liquids. Gradually add remaining flour.  Knead 3 - 5 minutes.  This dough will be sticky.
Put into 2 bread pans that have been greased and dusted with the cornmeal.  Cover and let rise for 45 mins.
Bake for 25 mins. at 400°F. Remove from pans immediately.
** I use hot water and some powdered milk instead of the milk.  I also make this in small coffee cans sprayed with pam and dusted with cornmeal, this makes the slices just right for the toaster, and they look like english muffins.
 
 
 
Basic White Bread
 
2 cps hot tap water       6 - 7 cps flour
1 egg        1 Tbsp.. salt
1/4 cup honey
Mix hot water with 3 cps flour, mix to make batter. Add egg, salt, honey. beat until smooth.  Set aside.
2 pkgs. yeast
1/2 cup warm water      2 Tbsp.. flour  Combine and mix well. Let stand until bubbly
1 tsp. honey  10 - 15 mins.
 
Add yeast mixture to batter. Gradually add remaining flour. Knead 8 mins.
Let rise 20 mins.  Shape and put in greased pans. Let rise 30 mins. in warm (100°F oven) Raise temp to 375°F. Bake 40 - 45 mins.
**  I buy a big bag of yeast at Sams, so I use three Tbsp. in this recipe rather than packets.  I don't usually put the egg in either.  This calls for three pans, but I use three.
