When you see bacon drippings as an ingredient, ya'll just know it's southern food. ;-) A stand mixer would be your new best friend when you make this easy, no-knead bread. Rising time is included in prep time. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups milk, scalded |
2 teaspoons salt |
4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed, divided |
2 tablespoons bacon drippings |
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast |
1/2 cup water, warmed to about 105 |
1 egg, beaten |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/3 cup cooked crumbled bacon |
Directions:
1. Combine scalded milk, salt, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, and bacon drippings. Cool.
2. Combine yeast, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and warmed water. When yeast mixture begins to foam, add to cooled milk mixture.
3. Add beaten egg, all purpose flour and whole wheat flour; beat for 3 minutes.
4. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes then stir in the bacon and beat for 2 minutes.
5. Pour into a greased 2-quart casserole or two glass loaf pans about 9 x 5 x 3-inches. Let rise until batter reaches top of pan(s), about 30 minutes.
6. Slash top diagonally a few times with a sharp knife. Bake at 375° for 35 to 40 minutes.
