Simple One Hour Bread - Really!

So, as I mentioned a few weeks ago in my post on Oatmeal Honey Wheat Buttermilk Bread, that I really enjoy making bread, but the one downfall to it is that working with yeast is often time consuming.  With my job being so busy this year, it's difficult to make fresh bread when it takes about three hours or more from start to finish and needs to be punched down once or twice and then baked for an hour.  That doesn't always work with my schedule during the week, but I still love the smell of fresh bread and being able to serve bread hot out of the oven with dinner.  (M also is a big fan of hot bread too :).
In comes the one hour bread recipe - seriously - mixing, rising, and baking - it takes a hour.  Get it started and then put together the rest of your dinner and everything will be ready at the same time.  Perfect!


Simple One Hour Bread
Adapted from: La Fugi Momma
Ingredients:

  • 5 1/4 cups flour
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon oil
  • 2 cups hot water

Directions:

Mix the dry ingredients  then add the oil and water.  Mix for one more minute until well incorporated.  Dough should be sticky, if it is too dry, add more water.  Then knead for five minutes (I use my stand mixer and dough hook).  This step is important!  Also, do not add any more flour once you start kneading.  Dough should have a smooth consistency.
Grease two 9x5 loaf pans.  Divide the dough between the two pans.  Cover with a dish towel and let rise in a warm place for 25 minutes.
My house is always too cool for bread to rise (unless its summer), so I place the pans on the radiator  to rise
Heat oven to 350 degrees.  *Optional* Before baking, grease a knife and make three slashes in the top of each loaf.  Each slash should be a quarter inch deep and at a 30 degree angle.  Bake loaves for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Enjoy!

    Yum..baking bread is my fav..
    one hint: set a cup of water in the microwave & cook to boiling. 1-2 min .leave cup IN microwave.
    quickly set your loaves of bread inside & shut the door..
    set the timer for 40 min or so.. .
    esp nice to use this method during the winter when the kitchen might not be so warm

    I made this bread today and it was very fast and good! I did half of this recipe to make one loaf and I had to add a lot more flour because the dough was more of a liquid. Overall, a great recipe. Next I want to add honey and use some wheat flour.

    This recipe reminds me of the book ar tisanal bread in five minutes.... totally works, easy as pie tasty as all get out thanks for the great share!!
    love that you use the stand mixer... makes it sooooooooooooooooo much easier even with traditional recipies when you let the dough rest and rise then just flick the switch to knead... I love bread from scratch.. it so much cheaper and easier than people think.
