Bread in a Bowl #1.

This recipe makes wheat or oatmeal bread.

Bread in a Bowl
1 cup whole wheat flour OR 1 cup quick cooking oats
3 cups high-gluten flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 TBSP Sugar (brown or white)
2 TBSP Oil
2 TBSP Active dry yeast (or 2 packages).

Mix all these ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Add hot tap water gradually until you get a knead able ball of dough. Knead about 5 minutes. If it is too sticky, dust your hand with flour as you knead. (Kneading goes best if you hold the bowl with your non-dominant hand while kneading with your dominant). Allow dough to rise in warm place until size has doubled. At this point you can cover and refrigerate for a day or two if you want, or shape into loaves, put on a greased cookie sheet or in greased bread pans (2 medium sized), and allow to rise until doubled. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20 minutes or until bread is brown and hollow sounding. This dough can also be shaped into buns. Using a small amount shape into balls and let rise on a greased cookie sheet.
