RAPIDMIX COOLRISE WHITE BREAD
Makes 2 loaves
8 ½ to 9 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons of salt
2 packages Fleischmann's active dry yeast equal to 5 teaspoons of active dry yeast (jar style)
1 cup milk
½ cup margarine, softened
2 2/3 cups, very warm tap water
(120-F to 130-F)
Vegetable Oil
In a large bowl thoroughly mix 3 cups flour, sugar, salt and dissolved yeast. Add margarine.
Gradually add tap water to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add ½ cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minute, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel. Let rest 20 minutes.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half to an 11 x 9 inch rectangle. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pans. Brush with oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 12 hours.
When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator. Uncover dough carefully. Let stand 10 minutes. Puncture any gas bubbles which may have formed with a greased toothpick or metal skewer. (I use a piece of dry spaghetti)
Bake at 400-F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until done. Remove from baking pans on cool on wire racks.
RECIPE FOR WHEAT BREAD
5 ¾ to 6 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of salt
2 packages of Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast equal to 5 teaspoons of active dry yeast (jar style)
2 cups milk
¾ cup water
¼ cup OR ½ STICK Margarine
Vegetable oil
Combine flours. In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 and ½ cups of flour mixture, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast.
Combine milk, water and margarine in a saucepan. Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm. (120F-130F) Margarine does NOT need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowls occasionally. Add 1 cup flour mixture. Beat at high speed for 2 minutes scraping the bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour mixture to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel. Let rest 20 (twenty) minutes.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 14 x 9 inch rectangle. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 grease 9x5x3 inch loaf pans. Brush loaves with oil and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator. Uncover dough carefully. Let stand 10 minutes. Puncture any gas bubbles which may have formed with a toothpick or metal skewer (I will still use a piece of dry spaghetti)
Bake at 400 F, for about 40 minutes, or until done. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
Ps if you do not have racks, use the rack from your toaster over, an old fridge shelf that is made of wires, or two cans of soup, set with a little space between the, and lay the cooked bread on its side. The reason for the side it won't squish the height of the bread nor make those line marks or circle marks on a pretty loaf of bread from the top view)
