Pot Lucks

Our company decided to have a pot luck for lunch. We all know it's hard to decide on an item to bring. So I decided to keep it simple and chose to make bread. Bread is a great item to bring because it can go with the dips, you can make sandwiches, or with any meat item. The recipe is simple and one I learned from my mother when I was 16.

The recipe is as follows:

Items needed:
9 x 13 pan
plastic mixing spoon
large mixing bowl
a medium bowl (for the dough to rise in)
a kitchen cloth (you can use a pillow case if you don't have one handy)


Ingredients:
2 cups water (warm)
1 oz. of fresh yeast (I use Red Star)
1/2 cup canola oil (your preference)
2 tsp salt (Morton's works great)
3.5 cups of flour (Five Roses is my choice)

Instruction:

Mix water and yeast, and let sit until yeast activates; this is usually when it rises and bubbles in the water, its takes about 10 minutes. Add oil, salt, and flour into the combined water and yeast. Stir the ingredients with a plastic spoon. Once the ingredients combine, start folding the batter with your hands, adding upto another half cup of flour as needed. The dough should be firm but should not be sticking to your hands; this is the reason you might need to add up to another half cup of flour. The dough is ready when it is smooth. Let the dough sit in on the counter or in a bowl until the dough rises to twice its original size. Now that it has risen, fold the dough for another 5 minutes. Get a 9 x 13 non-stick pan. Rub oil on the entire the pan, make sure the pan is completely oiled. Place the dough in the pan and let rise until the pan is full. Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees. Place pan in the middle rack and bake for about an hour. The bread should be medium brown when its done. Remove the bread from the pan and wrap it in a clean cloth until it cools down. Now, you're ready to serve and eat.
