One Bread Recipe for Endless Possibilities

We have what you’ve been looking for, one bread recipe with endless possibilities. This week we’ll show you everything you can do with this one recipe. Ranging from sweet, savory, and even esthetically pleasing bread forms and creations. For now, get to know our bread recipe on a 1-to-1 basis. We’ll give you all the details you’ll knead to know throughout the week.

What you’ll need

4 cups warm water (110 degrees)

4 teaspoons kosher salt

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup canola oil

1/2 cup powdered coffee creamer (optional)

9-10 cups flour

4 tablespoons SAF yeast

This recipe makes 2 large loaves of bread. Cut in half if you’re looking for just one loaf.

In the bowl of your mixer, fit with a dough hook, pour in warm water, yeast, and sugar and stir to dissolve yeast and sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes. Add the salt, oil and 2 cups of flour. Stir to combine.

Turn your electric mixer onto the lowest speed. While the electric mixer is still on, slowly add the powdered coffee creamer, if using. Once the coffee creamer is mixed in, slowly add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until the bread pulls away from the walls of the bowl and begins to create a clean ball. The dough will still be a bit sticky.

Turn your mixer up one speed and continue to mix for 5-minutes. Watch your dough, if it starts to stick to the sides, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Prepare a floured workspace. Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and cover with a flour coating. Continue to knead until you’ve formed a smooth elastic ball.

Place dough into a greased bowl, cover with a flour sack towel, and allow to rise in a warm location until the dough has doubled in size, about an hour.

Before forming the loaf, preheat the oven to 355 degrees. Remove from bowl and place on a floured surface. Divide the dough in half and form into a long rectangular loaf.

Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan, cover with the flour sack towel and allow to rise for 15-20 minutes.

Bake for at least 30 minutes. The amount of time will be greater or shorter, depending on what you do with your dough. Start with 30 minutes for a tasty homemade loaf!

Use the recipe to make a loaf of braided bread.
