Bimini Bread Recipe
Ingredients
| 2 packages active dry yeast, or 2 cakes compressed yeast | ||
| Warm water | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder | ||
| Granulated Sugar | 2/3 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Vegetable oil | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Salt | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Eggs | 2 | |
| Warm water | 1 1/3 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 7 1/2 cups all purpose flour, or as needed | ||
Directions
Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water for 10 minutes.
Using a large food processor, electric mixer or wooden spoon, beat yeast mixture, dry milk powder, sugar, oil, salt and eggs until smooth.
Add 1 1/3 cups warm water and 2 cups of the flour; beat until smooth.
Add remaining flour, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stop adding flour when a stiff dough is formed.
Without a heavy duty mixer or food processor, you will need to work in the last of the flour with your hands.
With dough hook or by hand on a lightly floured surface, knead until dough is smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl and turn to grease top.
Cover and let rise until double in bulk, about 2 1/2 hours.
Punch dough down and fold over edges, pressing until air bubbles are pushed out.
Divide dough into 4 pieces.
Form each piece into a loaf or ball.
Place in greased 8x4 inch loaf pans or 8 inch round cake pans.
Cover and allow to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 40 minutes, or until nicely browned and done.
Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
Freeze extra loaves for future use.
