This is my mom's recipe. I have made it with her for her science club. It works well. It doesn't take much time and still tastes yummy for anyone wanting to make homeade bread... Great idea for Young Women's activity.
2 cups all purpose flour
1 pkg. Rapid rise yeast
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. Non-fat dry milk powder
1 tsp. sal t
1 cup hot water (125-130 degrees)
3 tbsp. vegitable oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1.) Combine 1 cup of the all purpose flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, dry milk, and salt in a 1 gallon heavy-duty freexer bag with zipper lock. Squeeze upper part of the bag to force out air. Shake and work bag with fingers to blend ingredients.
2.) Add hot water and oil to dry ingredients. Reseal bag. Mix by working with fingers. Add whole wheat flour, reseal bag and mix thoroughly. Gradually add enough remaining all purpose flour to make a stiff dough that pulls away from the bag.
3.) On a floured surface, knead dough 2-4 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover dough and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough to a 12X7 inch rectangle. Roll up from narrow end. Pinch to seal. Place in a greased loaf pan and let rise for 20 minutes or until double in size. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until brown. After cooking brush with a light coat of butter if desired.
Variation:
*Make into small crousant rolls, dinner rolls, etc. ( No need to change recipe)
* Breadsticks - make recipe for Bread in a Bag. Add 1/2 cup rolled wheat or other rolled grain to bag after mixing in wheat flour. Then gradually add enough all purpose flour to make a stiff dough. Roll out dough in rectangles 1/2 inch thinck. Cut dough into strips. Twist strps while placing on baking sheet.
