One Hour Bread (May 2010)

One Hour Bread
Penny Lindsay (Demo)

2 Loaves

5 ¼ C. Flour
¼ C. Sugar
½ T. Salt
1 Rounded T. Yeast
2 T. Soy Lechithin
2 C. Hot water

3 Loaves

7 1/3 C. Flour
1/3 C. Sugar
2 t. Salt
2 rounded T. Yeast
2 T. Lechithin
3 C. hot water

4 Loaves

10 ½ C. Bread Flour or wheat Flour
½ C. Sugar
1 T. Salt
3 rounded T. SAF-instant yeast
3 T. Liquid Lechithin
4 C. Hot water

Mix Dry ingredients(Use ONLY SAF Instant Yeast,can be found at Smart & Final). Add Lechithin and water. Mix for 1 min. and check consistency. If dough is too dry, add more water. Dough should be very sticky, like cookie dough at first. Mix for 5 min. (10 min. if using wheat flour). Do not add flour to the dough after it has finished mixing. Spray counter/bread board and pans with Pam Only. Shape Loaves(get all air pockets out) and cover with a dish towel. Let raise for 25 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 min.

Penny's Tips for making 1 hour bread:

Penny prefers to use 1/2 white bread flour and 1/2 wheat flour. But if using 100% whole wheat, use 1 T. more lechithin. If you use fresh ground wheat flour, you only need to let the dough raise 18 minutes instead of 25 minutes because the flour is already warm.

After all the ingredients are mixed in, before the kneading begins, the dough should look like chocolate chip cookie dough. After the kneading it will look like smooth bread dough and pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Use a wide mouth canning jar ring to cut hamburger buns out of the dough.

Never pull your dough apart to separate into loaves or rolls. Always use a knife to cut the dough.

To raise the dough, be sure and cover with a towel as yeast needs dark to grow. Make sure it is in a warm place with no breeze.
You can cut bread loaves right out of the oven without squishing it, with an electric knife.

For the pizza dough: let it raise if you like thick crust or cook right away if you prefer thin crust.

Penny's pizza toppings were: alfredo sauce, cooked chicken, pizza blend cheese, green peppers, and mushrooms. Bake at 400 until done.

Penny’s Sloppy Joes

2 lbs. hamburger
½ lg. onion
1 can chicken Gumbo Soup
1 C. Ketchup
¼-1/3 C. brown sugar
4 t. mustard
1 T. Worchestershire Sauce
Salt & Pepper

Brown your hamburger and sauté the onions. Drain excess fat from the pan. Add the other ingredients and let it simmer for 15 min. If it seems a little dry, add a little water to it.
My family loves this with homemade Hamburger buns and oven fries! The secret to the recipe is the chicken gumbo soup. Don’t know what it adds, but it makes it great!

In a bowl mix Hot water, oatmeal, and honey. Let it sit while you mix dry ingredients together in your mixing bowl. Add lechithin and then the liquid. Mix for 1 min. Dough should be sticky, like cookie Dough. Add a little more water if it’s too dry, never flour. Continue mixing for 5 min.(10 min. if you are using wheat flour). Turn out on breadboard sprayed with Pam. Shape into 3 loaves and let rise for 25 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min. It’s yummy with Teri’s honey butter.

Cheesy Spread
Megan Bodily


1 Cup grated cheddar cheese ( I like sharp the best)
1/2 Cup Mayo
2 T Finely chopped white onion
2 T Parmesan Cheese

Mix together, if not moist enough add more mayo.

100% Whole Wheat Rolls
Elizabeth Champion


2 1/3 cups Warm water 2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. active dry yeast 2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup lite olive oil or coconut oil 6 – 6 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup honey 3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar


Pour hot water (110 to 120 degrees F) into mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast on top and let set 5 minutes.
Add oil, honey, and salt. Add eggs; beat well. Pour 5 cups of flour on top of liquids to make a layer of flour. Make a trough in flour and pour in vinegar. Mix thoroughly with bread hook. Knead in enough flour to make soft dough. (Amount will depend on dryness of flour, moisture in the air, etc. If unsure, just mix in 1 ½ cups more.) Let stand for 10 minutes.
Spray board or counter and hands with olive oil spray. Knead until smooth and elastic and shape into rolls. Let rise in warm place until double in bulk.
Bake at 425 degrees F. for 12 minutes. Brush tops with more oil while still hot in pans. Move to cooling racks.
Makes approx. 3 dozen

White Bread recipe for bread machine

Artichoke Spread (makes about 2 cups)
Anne Epperson

1 box of frozen artichokes, defrosted
1/2 cup grated pecorino cheese (or other hard Italian cheese)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (more or less)

In a food processor add the artichoke hearts, cheese, salt and pepper and grind for 1 minute. Slowly drizzle the olive oil while the food processor is running. Grind to desired consistency. Serve immediately with bread or crackers, or refrigerate. (personal note: I'm thinking this might be good over pasta, instead of red sauce.)
