My Family’s Homemade Bread Recipe

Instructions

1. Dissolve dry yeast in a 1/2 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar and set aside.
2. In mixer add 1 beaten egg, 1 cup milk, 1 cup hot water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 T salt and mix for 1-2 minutes.
3. Next add 5T oil (I like using avocado oil) 4 cups of flour and mix until smooth.
4. Add the yeast mixture and 3 more cups of flour, one cup at a time while mixer is going.
   
   Knead in mixer for 5 minutes then check to see if elastic enough, it shouldn’t be very sticky.
5. Put in a greased bowl and let sit for 20 mins. If you have a “bread proofing” setting on your oven you can put your dough in there, if not you can place on your counter covered with a damp cloth
6. After the bread has risen divide it and shape into whatever type of loaf you like!
   
   Bake at 350 for 22 minutes if doing 2 loafs of braided bread. If doing in a loaf pan bake 25-30 minutes
