I've never made it by separating 1 T of sugar out to proof with the yeast and water--it all just goes in the big bowl. It is such a forgiving recipe. I've been making it for years and am glad to find this post so I can just point people to the recipe this way for now on! If you use a Kitchen Aid mixture it is even easier, just turn it on a couple of times after each rise.

Like making a "snake". I just place them side by side on a cookie sheet. If they are turning out flat you might need more flour? I have used a machine and my hands to knead it both seem to work equally as well. I only knead for a minute or so, not long at all! My sister even said that she has forgotten to knead and the bread still worked. Hope this helps!

Do you use a french loaf pan? Do you just lay them flat on a cookie sheet? Do you do the french letter fold? What do you do?<br /><br />How long do you knead each 10 minutes for the hour? Do you do this by hand or with your mixer?<br /><br />My first attempt at this tasted wonderful, but my loaves ended up being roundish and flat instead of skinny and tall like a french loaf (like your photo above)<br /><br />I really want this recipe to work because it was so easy!<br />Let me know! <br /><br />Johanna :)johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445678030399886379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897539990601837908.post-26362029286829683322011-04-02T11:44:01.185-07:002011-04-02T11:44:01.185-07:00After my sisters encouragement to try this recipe ...After my sisters encouragement to try this recipe I decided to give it a go...reluctantly I must say, as I've made my 'moms' bread for the past 14 years. The fact that there's no eggs or butter in this recipe made me want to try it as well. I made a few adjustments and must tell you, I don't buy bread...ever. It's simple. It's moist. It keeps on the counter and gets us through a week of sack lunches. Thanks for sharing!<br />Some adjustments I made were using half whole wheat flour, half unbleached flour. I've also used 2 C. whole wheat flour, 1 C. oats pulsed in my food processor, 3 C. unbleached flour. I also replace the sugar with honey. It comes out beutifully every time. I'm enjoying your blog and think I'll try the brownies with brown butter frosting next. My kids will love me forever for it!<br />Kaitlin (Oates) Peopleslittle peepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940717016925155538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897539990601837908.post-62307477190771683132011-02-18T10:43:24.076-08:002011-02-18T10:43:24.076-08:00About a year ago I realized I had no excuse to not...About a year ago I realized I had no excuse to not make my own bread as a mom at home. But I never found a consistent recipe and eventually stopped. Emily told me about yours and I've been doing it for two weeks now. It's so easy and delicious and keeps on the counter so nice and moist for days! Emily and I both make it now and Rebecca, Bethany & Pam have all tried it this past week too.

I looked at the recipe and couldn't find where it says to let it rise? Is it no rise? thanks for your help!Kate H.(www.sprinkletherapy.blogspot.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16160122723354848133noreply@blogger.com
