Ingredients
Scale
- 5 1/4 cups flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil (or oil of choice)
- 2 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoon yeast
Instructions
- Mix all of your dry ingredients together, including the yeast.
- Add the oil. Then add the warm water.
- Mix well. Use your hands if you need to.
- Plop the dough onto a lightly floured or oiled surface.
- Spray (or grease) your hands with a little oil, and begin to knead. Knead the dough for approximately 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes of kneading, if the dough is still too sticky, add a little more flour until it is no longer sticky.
- Cut the dough into two equal halves, and place them into loaf pans.
- Cover with a grocery bag, and let them sit to rise in a warm area for about 25 minutes, but you can go up to 45 minutes. (I proof bread in my dehydrator at 110 degrees F.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Allow it to preheat for 5 minutes.
- Place loaves in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, take them out, and run the tops with butter.
- Place back in the oven, and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
Test the water for proper temperature like you would a baby's bottle. Let a trickle of the water run on your wrist until it is barely warm on your skin. It should be equal to – or slightly above – body temperature.
