Bread... It's In The Bag, Inc.

Country White Bread

No preservatives or anything artificial.  Made from my Grandmother's recipe, using unbleached/unenhanced white flour. 

NEEDED TO COMPLETE:

Water - 1 Cup (110°-120°F)

Oil - 2 Tbl.

Yeast - Use entire enclosed packet

BREAD MACHINE DIRECTIONS (1 1/2 lbs):

Add ingredients to bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer (see machine's instruction book).  Set machine for Basic Cycle and Medium/Normal crust color. Press START. NOT recommended in cycles of less than three hours.  Remove bread from pan; cool on wire rack. To create a softer crust, place a light linen towel over bread until it cools.  Do Not prepare this mix on the timer cycle.
 

CONVENTIONAL OVEN DIRECTIONS:

Combine bread mix and yeast in large bowl: stir well.  Add very warm water along with the oil.  Stir to form soft dough.  Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.  Place in oiled bowl, cover and let rest/rise in a warm, draft-free place for approx. 30 minutes or until doubled in size.  Punch down the dough and then form into a loaf to fit a greased 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.  Cover; let rise until doubled in size, approx. 30-40 minutes.  Bake in 375* oven for 25-35 minutes or until done (thump the loaf - it should sound hollow).  Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
