Pantry Secrets Bread

10 1/2 C. white bread flour or Wheat Flour* ( do not use all purpose flour)

1/2 C. sugar

1 T salt

3 rounded T saf-instant yeast

3 T liquid Lecithin** (soy lecithin is found at health food stores or vitamin stores)

4 C. hot tap water

Mix dry ingredients. Add lecithin and water. Mix for 1 minute in a bread mixer and check the consistency. If the dough is too dry, add more water. Dough should be very sticky. Mix for 5 minutes. Do not add flour to the dough after it has finished mixing. Spray counter and pans with Pam. Shape loaves and cover with a dish towel. Let raise 25 minutes. Bake at 350 for 25 min. This recipe makes 4 loaves of bread.

* When using Wheat flour- add 1 T extra lecithin. Use 3 C of hot water and 1 C. of applesauce instead of the 4 C. water, and mix for 10 minutes.

** Never measure the soy lecithin. Pour it into the bowl until it reaches the size of a quarter. That is about 1 T.

When I make half the recipe I use 2tsp. of salt. This recipe is great for pizza, and can also be used for other recipes calling for bread dough.
