Never Fail Bread



This video & Recipe comes from www.indorecipe.com

5 - 6 cups bread flour
1 heaping tbsp active dry yeast + 1 scant tbsp active dry yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
1 tsp salt
4 heaping tbsps vegetable oil
8 tbsps sugar
Preparation:
Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water, let stand until foamy. Meanwhile in a separate bowl, mix sugar and bread flour well.
When water mixture already foamy, mix in salt and oil, mix well. Mix in flour one cup at a time.
Knead dough on a floured surface. Place in an oil greased bowl, turn dough to coat. Cover with damp towel, place in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size. Punch down dough.
Divide in half. Knead each for a bit and shape to loaves, place in loaf pans, let rest for another half hour. Loaves will rise in size again.
Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.
Notes:
you can also dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm water before dissolving the yeast, either way is fine. If you don't have bread flour, mix half wheat flour and half all purpose flour, this would work as well.

2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp cornmeal
3 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp yeast

Add ingredients to bread machine, according to manufacturer's settings, and run dough setting. After the machine beeps, roll out the dough. Recipe makes enough dough for two 9x13" or into two medium pizzas or a large pizza and an order of breadsticks. Bake the crust with a drizzle of olive oil on it at 450 degrees for ten minutes. Remove the crust and add sauce and toppings. If making breadsticks, add your breadsticks at this time. Place into the oven for another ten to fifteen minutes or until golden and bubbly. Enjoy

To make a slightly fluffier crust, after you roll out and place on the sheet you are going to bake it on, cover and let rise for 20-40 minutes.
