DANAE WINDER BREAD

Danae Winder bread recipe:
She posted this on facebook.   We all really liked. Took me longer prepare than my normal recipe.  Check bread after 20 minutes of baking.


Here's my white bread recipe; I usually do 1/2 white 1/2 wheat
Combine 1 Tbls of yeast and 1/4 cup warm water and let it sit for a few minutes.
1 cup of evaporated milk, plus 1 cup very hot water (OR 2 cups scalded mlk, cooled until warm)
Add: 3 Tbls butter, melted (or melt it in the milk before you cool it), 1 Tbls salt, 1/4 cup of sugar (try honey next time)
Add: the yeast mixture
Add: 6-8 cups of flour* (can do combo of wheat and white, just remember wheat tends to soak up more moisture than white, so the more wheat you use, the less flour you will need.) Add just enough flour so the dough is soft but not sticky.
Knead dough about 8-10 min (more wheat four= more kneading) until it is soft but not too sticky. (I put mine in my Kithen Aid with dough hook and let it go!) 
Let it rise in a greased bowl until double. (Putting it in the oven with a pan of boiling water will give it that warm. moist environment so it will rise quickly!) 
Punch it down and let it rest while you grease 2 loaf pans. 
Shape into loaves, place in pans and put back in warm, moist oven (0r leave on the counter but cover with a towel so the dough doesn't dry out on top) until it is double. 
Bake 350 for 30-35 minutes. 

*at 5 cups add 1 cup at a time.
