I MADE BREAD!! It took forever and I was really confused the whole time and Reese was doubting my baking abilities but it actually turned out to be really good! Make it!!!
Ingredients:
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup sugar, divided
2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees), divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
In a bowl, dissolve yeast, and 1 tblspn sugar in 1 c. warm water.
Add the oil, egg, salt, 2 cups flour, and remaining sugar and water.
Mix that really well and then stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead for about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise forabout 40 minutes.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; divide and arrange dough onto baking sheets.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
And then its done!! Here is a parmesan garlic spread that I used to put on the breadsticks:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Just mix them all in a bowl and serve with the bread.
SUCCESS!!
