Husky Loaf (with recipe!)
Here is a pure bread husky! (haha, blame
wolfer101 for the joke) hehehe.
Here is the recipe! Makes 1 loaf!
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (110° F or 34° C)
1/3 cup white sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (one packet) Active Dry Yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups bread flour (I like "Bob's Red Mill Unbleached White")
Kitchen-stuff needed is a large bowl for mixing (or a mixer with a dough hook), a large bowl for rising, a kitchen towel, a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and a wire rack for cooling.
In a large bowl bowl dissolve the sugar in the warm water, then stir in the yest. The yeast needs to proof so let it sit for a few minutes until it resembles a creamy-looking foam.
Mix the salt and oil into the yeast. Then mix in the flour one cup at a time. (you can hand mix or use a mixer with a dough hook)
Roll out the dough onto a floured surface with some extra flour on your hands so it doesn't stick as bad. Then knead the dough until smooth (I usually time myself for about 4-5 minutes to make sure it is well kneaded).
Put some additional vegetable oil in a large bowl and use your fingers or a paper towel to coat the sides too, so it is well oiled. Place your dough in the bowl and turn it to coat with the oil. Wet your kitchen towel with warm water and wring it out so it is just damp, then cover your bowl of dough with it. Put it in a warm place and allow it to rise until it has doubled in bulk (depending on the temp you keep your home it may take about 1 hour or more).
Once it has doubled (http://yfrog.com/scaled/landing/614/34qix.jpg this shows a doublebatch/2 loaf quantity), punch the dough down (this is the satisfying part! I love it http://yfrog.com/scaled/landing/878/pfisys.jpg this shows a doublebatch) get it out of the bowl and knead it for a few more minutes (2 or 3) and shape it into a loaf-shape. Oil your loaf pan with your fingers or a paper towel (so it is coated) and allow that dough to rise in the loaf pan in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until the dough has risen 1 inch above the pan. (Depending on your house temp it might take longer than 30 min)
(optional) Use a sharp knife to slice one or two slits in your bread top. Or get ambitious and use scissors to snip a husky shape into your loaf. (http://yfrog.com/scaled/landing/740/we2fs.jpg with my assistant, Turbo)
Bake at 350° F or 175° C for 30 minutes! Turn once halfway through baking for an even bake.
Pull it out from the loaf pan once it is cool enough to handle, then I cool it the rest of the way on its side on a wire rack. I keep it in the fridge in a plastic bag, since it doesn't have any preservatives! It makes awesome sammiches or french toast <3
