Bread in a Bowl #2.

This one makes white bread, or can be used as the base for sweet rolls.

Bread in a Bowl, #2

1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup veg. oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 TBSP salt
4 cups high gluten flour
2 packages dry active yeast

In a medium mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix together, gradually adding hot water until the mixutre forms a kneadable ball. Knead five minutes in the bowl, using enough flour tokeep dough from sticking to your hands. Cover. Allow to rise on counter until doubled. At this point, dough can be punched down, covered and put into the refrigerator for up to four days.

For jalapeno-cheddar bread:

1 cup shredded cheddar
1/4 cup canned jalapenos

Use half of the dough flatten into 1/2” thick square.

Cover with cheddar cheese and sliced jalapenos. Work cheese and peppers into the dough until they are evenly dispersed. Roll and shape into a loaf folding in the ends. A round loaf works nicely. Place on greased cookie sheet. Allow to rise until double. Bake in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes or when golden brown and hollow sounding when thumped.
