GRANDMA’S COUNTRY WHITE BREAD

Fantastic recipe! I chose to use plain flour, mimicking what Grandma Van Doren probably did, as I’m pretty sure « bread flour » wasn’t a thing in her day. Little tip: if you double the quantity of yeast, the rising time is halved, which is a real time saver.

This bread is incredibly delicious and surprisingly easy to make with a blender. I like to place unbaked loaves in disposable loaf pans and freeze them before they rise. This way I can enjoy freshly baked bread at home anytime. Simply leave the frozen dough on the counter in the morning to rise during the day, then bake it overnight. This bread goes wonderfully with all kinds of foods, but be careful, it disappears quickly!

Wow, this recipe is really awesome! I’m a big fan of baking bread and it’s always disappointing when it turns out to be dense. This bread, however, was wonderfully light with a soft, fluffy crust! I ended up using 4 packets of Rapid Rise yeast since that’s what I had on hand. Regular all-purpose flour also worked well. I let the dough rise for an hour between each step and let the cinnamon rolls rise an additional 35 minutes while the bread bakes. The result? Two great loaves and a generous batch of 18 cinnamon buns covered in cream cheese frosting. Delicious! We finished a whole loaf with peasant soup for dinner and a cinnamon roll for dessert. I am full! The bread has a lovely tangy flavor and a wonderful texture. Don’t hesitate, you have to TRY it!
