The Best Bread Ever!

So, I made some bread and thought I would share the recipe and some techniques with you all. This bread really is the best and we use it for sandwiches, buns, and rolls!

Ingredients:
2 1/2 C warm water
2 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 C honey or 2/3 C brown sugar
5 1/2 C flour
1/2 C gluten
2 tsp. salt
1/4 C powdered milk
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 C potato flakes
2 Tbsp. vinegar


Add your water, yeast, and honey/brown sugar into your mixing bowl. Let it sit for a bit and proof.

Next, add all the ingredients on top of the water/yeast/sugar mixture. Mix on low for about 10 minutes.

It should look something like this once it is all mixed.

Cover with a towel and let sit for about and hour, until doubled in size.

Once it has risen, punch and put on a floured surface. Knead for a few minutes and then cut in half for two loaves. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough.

Roll up.

Pinch your seams together.
And round out the ends.

Place into your greased loaf pans and cover with the towel again and let rise for 1/2 hour.

Looking good right? Now place into the oven for 20-25 minutes at 375*.

Once you pull it out, tap it on the bottom to make sure it is done. It should sound hollow.
And here you go, nice yummy bread! That wasn't to hard was it?

Hum, I wonder how this would come out minus the gluten? I'm really trying to steer away from that when I can. Can you taste the vinegar in it?

You definitely can make it without gluten. I even have before. The gluten just allows it to rise better. You can not taste the vinegar at all. It also helps the bread rise better, which is needed for wheat bread. :)
