Bread (GF, V)

Ingredients

• 1 packet or 2 1/4 t active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 1/2 – 3 cup flour – optionally 1-1 gluten free alternative.
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 T oil
• 1 T sugar

Steps

1. Mix together warm water, sugar, and yeast.
2. Let rest for about 10 minutes until yeast starts to bubble.
3. In a different bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cup flour, oil, and salt.
4. At the end of the 10 minutes, mix the yeast thoroughly. If it is not bubbling, your yeast is not active, and will not work for this bread.
5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the yeast mixture into the flour well. Stir until blended.
6. If your dough is too dry, add in a little water and if it is too wet, add in a little flour.
7. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes on a floured, clean surface. Trying to add in as much of the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as to create a stiff but fluffy dough.
8. Set in a warm place to rise. About 1 – 2 hours depending on how warm your house is. If your house is really cold, you can warm up the oven for 1 – 2 minutes. Then turn it off and place the dough in there to rise.
9. Shape into preferable shape and size. You can add a filling or make them pull-apart rolls if desire. If you desire to make a loaf of bread, grease a loaf pan and set in there.
10. Let rise in a warm place for 15 – 25 minutes.
11. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes at 375 degrees. If filings are added or if not baked in a loaf pan, bake times may vary.
