Today was such a horrible day for the people in southwest Florida it is 45 degrees and rainy, there is nothing to do but stay indoors and cook and clean or at least thats what I'm doing. When it's cold out it's always nice to have some comfort/ hearty food. In college when we wanted to stay in all day and eat we would call it "having a fat day". This is sure to make you and stomach happy!
3 cps of bread flour
1 tbsp of fast acting yeast
1 cup warm milk ( 100 degrees)
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp salt Olive oil
In a bowl combine flour and yeast together (the yeast can not come in direct contact with liquid. Dissolve salt and sugar into milk and pour into flour. Mix for a minute then add butter, the dough should be coming together. Place mixture onto a floured surface and start forming a ball. Once this is done you can start kneading the dough, which is to push down on one end of the dough with the heel of your hand and push out at the same time and then quarter turn the dough each time, continue this process for about ten minutes. Find a bowl that is triple the size of the ball of dough and drizzle a little oil into the bottom and roll the dough in it so it's lightly covered so it will not stick to the sides, cover with plastic wrap and a towel and set in a warm draft free place for about 1 hour-2 hours or until doubled in size. After doubled in size punch down the dough with your fist and start to knead the dough for a couple of minutes and place in loaf pan. cover again and wait till it's doubled again. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Before you put dough into oven brush with water or egg white and cook for 25-30 minutes. When it's done it should sound hollow when you tap the top of the crust.
