Submitted by alabubba on November 10, 2009 - 12:23am My Daily BreadI have had several people ask about this recipe so here it is. Sorry for taking so long.
Nicho Bread (Named for my grandson) 19.25 oz Good quality AP flour This makes up about 2 pounds of dough, I bake it as a single loaf and it makes a TALL loaf. That's the way we like it around here but you could easily make 2 smaller loaves with this recipe. Place the Flour, Salt, Sugar, and Yeast in a Large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Notes____________________________________________________
Lets make some bread, No fancy Kitchen Aid required
First the dry.
Now the wet
10.65 Ounces is about 1 and 1/4 cups
Nuke it to get it warm. But be careful not to get it too hot.
3Tbsp butter
Melt it in your warm milk, Should look something like this.
Now, Everybody into the pool. and mix with a spoon until the liquid is absorbed.
Dump onto the board and work just enough to get it incorporated.
Then let it rest 5 minutes and then knead for 5 minutes
You should end up with a lovely smooth, soft, not sticky ball of dough.
Proof it
Deflate and pan.
Can you see where I poked it with my finger. It's ready.
Slashed.
Surface tension causes the dough to open at the cut. Can you see the crumb structure even in the raw dough? Nothing left but to put in a 325° oven. It bakes for about 25 minutes but I don't watch the clock, When it looks done I check it with a thermometer.
This loaf is so tall that I have to cover it with foil for the first 10 minutes to keep it from burning on top. Maybe if I had a bigger oven, but even with the rack on the lowest setting it still will burn if I am not careful.
Wow, Talk about oven spring! and the requisite crumb shot...
