This is a wonderfully flavored and versatile bread. You can use it to make focaccia loaves, cinnamon rolls, hamburger buns, or dinner rolls. This recipe makes bread baking a snap! Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
2 tablespoons white sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2. In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the sugar, salt, oil and 1 cup of flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
3. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces and form into rounds. Place the rounds on prepared baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool.
