How To Make GRANDMA’S COUNTRY WHITE BREAD

Fantastic recipe! I opted to use regular flour, emulating what Grandma Van Doren probably did, as I’m pretty sure “bread flour” wasn’t a thing during her time. A little tip: if you double the amount of yeast, it halves the rising time, which is a real time-saver.
This bread is incredibly delicious and surprisingly easy to make using a mixer. I like to place the unbaked loaves in disposable bread pans and freeze them before they rise. That way, I can enjoy fresh home-baked bread anytime. Simply leave the frozen dough out on the counter in the morning to rise throughout the day, then bake it in the evening. This bread pairs wonderfully with all kinds of food, but be warned, it disappears fast!
Wow, this recipe is truly impressive! I’m a big fan of baking bread and it’s always disappointing when it turns out dense. This bread, however, was beautifully light with a soft and chewy crust! I ended up using 4 packets of Rapid Rise Yeast since that’s what I had on hand. Regular all-purpose flour worked just fine too. I allowed the dough to rise for an hour between each step and let the cinnamon rolls rise an additional 35 minutes while the bread baked. The result? Two nice loaves and a generous batch of 18 cinnamon rolls topped with cream cheese icing. Delicious! We polished off an entire loaf with a Peasant soup for dinner and had a cinnamon roll for dessert. I’m stuffed! The bread has a nice tangy flavor and a wonderful texture. Don’t hesitate, you must TRY IT!

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups lukewarm water
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
1/3 cup oil
1 tablespoon salt
6 to 7 cups unbleached ground white wheat flour (Alternatively, regular all-purpose flour can be used. This might require a little more quantity, around 8 cups, leading to a softer, less coarse bread.)
Optional: 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten (applicable if you’re using whole white wheat flour)

PROCEDURE:

Initiate the process by dissolving the yeast in a blend of warm water and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Let this mixture rest for about 10 minutes before adding the oil. Now, integrate the salt and start with 6 cups of flour into the mixture. Combine all the ingredients to form a dough.

Indulge in a kneading spree, ensuring all the ingredients have melded together and the dough has turned smooth and elastic. It should be mildly sticky and start to detach from the bowl. This should take you anywhere between 6 to 10 minutes. If needed, keep adding more flour gradually until you attain the perfect dough consistency.

As it bakes, the kitchen is filled with an aroma so captivating, it beckons everyone, evoking a collective sense of excitement.

In its essence, this dish captures the beauty of both worlds – a comforting embrace for those regular evenings and a show-stopper for special occasions. Dive in, savor, and let every bite take you on a beautiful journey.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Caesar dressing
1.5 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning: Salt and pepper, as per your preference
Optional for extra creaminess: 1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

Begin by warming your oven to 375°F (190°C) and brush your chosen baking dish with a light coating of oil or non-stick spray.
To ensure an even cook and tender bite, use a meat pounder to gently flatten the chicken breasts to about 1-inch thickness. In a bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing with sour cream (if you’re including it).

Delicately season each chicken breast. Top each piece with 1/4 cup of the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and nestle them into the baking dish.

Lavishly coat the chicken with the sauce. Scatter the leftover Parmesan cheese for a golden crust.
Transfer to the oven, letting it bake for about 25-30 minutes. Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden hue, it’s ready.
Serving Tip:
Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley for a dash of color and flavor. To elevate this meal, consider pairing with oven-roasted veggies or a crisp arugula salad.
