[ravensgrove]

You asked for it:

Sabrina's Amish White Bread recipe good for anything from pretzels to donuts:

2 cups hot water
1 duck egg (or 2 chicken eggs)
2/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsps salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups of flour

Let rise one hour, seperate into two loaves and let rise an additional 40 mins, brush on one whole egg across both loaves bake at 350 for 30 mins.

Or the twists you saw, take whole batch, make 3 long ribbons, braid together, brush on egg and bake at 350 for 40 mins

Or pretzels: make pretzels (about 12 big ones) dip in boiling water 1 min each side and bake 350 for 30 mins

Or bagels: make bagels and cook as above.

Or donuts: make donuts and drop into hot oil for approx. a minute in the deep fryer.

Or as pizza dough: makes 4 large deep crusts, add 1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tbsp italian seasoning: rosemary/thyme/oregano/sage/basil.

Nice job! I like how you did a cheese one.

[izzyscout21]

thanks. I'm a sucker for cheese bread. this one has a vein of cheese running down the middle and the cheese on top.The other loaf is basil/ rosemary.I made these today. I did the exact same 2 last night, and they didn't last until midday today.

have you ever tried this recipe in a bread maker?

I would think you'd need to 1/2 it for a bread machine, or get a huge mess. Usually most bread machine recipes require maximum 2 tsps of yeast and this has a tbsp +. Izzy GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!
