Pam's Country Crust Bread
Total: 3 hours, 50 minutes
Yield: Makes 2 loaves
Ingredients
* 2 (1/4-oz.) envelopes active dry yeast
* 2 cups warm water (105° to 115°)
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 6 to 6 1/2 cups bread flour
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
Preparation
1. Combine yeast, warm water, and 2 tsp. sugar in bowl of a heavy-duty electric
stand mixer; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in eggs, next 3 ingredients, 3 cups
flour, and remaining sugar. Beat dough at medium speed, using paddle
attachment,
until smooth. Gradually beat in remaining 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour until a soft
dough forms.
2. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and
elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes), sprinkling surface with flour as needed. Place
dough in a lightly greased large bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let
rise
in a warm place (85º), free from drafts, about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
3. Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in
half.
4. Roll each dough half into an 18- x 9-inch rectangle. Starting at 1 short
end,
tightly roll up each rectangle, jelly-roll fashion, pressing to seal edges as
you roll. Pinch ends of dough to seal, and tuck ends under dough. Place each
dough roll, seam side down, in a lightly greased 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. Brush
tops with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85º), free from drafts, 1
hour or until doubled in bulk.
5. Preheat oven to 375º. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until loaves are deep golden
brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to a wire rack, and brush
loaves with melted butter. Let cool completely (about 1 hour).
