Ingredients:- 1 package rapid rise yeast (or 2 ¼ tsp.)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups VERY warm water (the hottest tap water you can get)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 4 cups bread flour
Directions:
-
Mix the yeast, brown sugar, and water in a bowl and let them sit for 5 minutes or so.
-
Then add 2 cups bread flour and then the salt (so the salt doesn't mix directly with the yeast mixture and kill the yeast).
-
Then mix in the remainder of the flour a little bit at a time, until the dough is just barely not sticking to your hands.
-
Knead it for 5 minutes at least by hand (I shoot for 10 minutes because it really does improve the texture but I tend to get bored when I am kneading dough...)
-
Let it rest for a half hour to an hour (if you use the rapid rise yeast you can use it right away but letting it rest seems to improve the taste a bit).
-
Then spread it out on a baking sheet.
-
If I use it for cheesy bread, I spread a thin layer of butter on the top, then sprinkle salt and garlic powder on the top, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of all that.
-
Preheat the oven to 450 and bake it for about 15 minutes, depends on your oven (so just cook it until the cheese it starting to barely brown).
-
I also use this same recipe for pizza crust.
-
This recipe makes quite a bit of cheesy bread (we usually divide it in half and make one pizza and one cheesy bread).
-
Half the recipe makes plenty of cheesy bread for us (usually some left over!).
