Receta White Bread
There is just something about homemade bread that makes me smile. And I just love my Momma's white bread recipe. It is super simple, doesn't require a lot of effort, and tastes awesome! Her original recipe makes SIX loaves...which really, I don't need, so I just cut the recipe in half. This is perfect to make when you are having soup...or any day really!
- 2 cups milk-1 hot and 1 cold
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 10 cups flour-maybe a little more or a little less
In a seperate bowl add yeast, sugar and water and let rise. Warm one cup milk in the microwave. Then add shortening to the milk and stir until mostly dissolved. Then in your mixing bowl add that milk, and the cold milk, sugar and salt. Mix, and then add yeast once risen. Then slowly add flour-a cup at a time. Keep adding until dough is no no longer sticky. Let dough rise for about an hour. Then in greased bread pans add your dough-I had three bread pans. Let rise for another 1 1/2 hours to two hours. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly brown. Remove, spread a little butter on the top and enjoy!
