    Easy Bread Recipe

    By Stacy 4 Comments

    I had enough people ask me for my bread recipe (from my post a couple days ago) that it was easier to post it here than e-mail it to everyone. This is the recipe that my mom always made when I was growing up.

    This makes 4 loaves of bread.

    4 cups flour (I use all purpose most of the time and sometimes better for bread. Do not use self rising)
    ½ cup sugar
    2 Tablespoons salt
    2 packets dry active yeast ( one packet equals 2 ¼ teaspoons)
    Combine in a large mixer

    In a sauce pan combine 4 ½ cups milk and ½ cup cooking oil
    Heat (on medium) until warm

    Add 2 eggs and milk mixture to flour mixture. Beat ½ a minute on low and then 3 minutes on medium speed.
    Gradually add 7-8 additional cups of flour to form a soft dough. You can tell it is ready when it starts to pull away from the side of the mixer.

    Cover and let rise until it doubles in size (45-60 minutes)
    Punch down and form 4 loaves. Place in greased pans and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes.
    Bake at 350 degrees.

    I have a gas oven and it only bakes for 30 minutes. My mom has an electric oven and it bakes for 40 minutes. I take mine out of the pan right away and let them cool on a washcloth. I put butter on the top while they are warm. When they have completely cooled, I put them in bags.

    Also, if you half this recipe, don't half the yeast. Still use 2 packets.

    Happy baking!!!

      It says four cups flour and then add 6 to 7 cups of flour, And what size pans you use. Mini to me is 4 1/2 by 2 x 2. Ye you see regular pans in picture,
