Description
A fun, mess-free bread in a bag recipe perfect for kids and beginners, resulting in a soft, delicious loaf with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Step 1: Place 1 cup of flour, sugar, and yeast into a heavy-duty gallon-sized freezer bag.
Step 2: Add the warm water to the bag, seal it (removing air), and squish the bag with your hands until the ingredients are well blended.
Step 3: Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes at room temperature until it becomes bubbly and frothy.
Step 4: Open the bag and add 1 cup of flour, the vegetable oil, and the salt. Seal and squish again until blended.
Step 5: Add the final cup of flour and continue squishing and kneading the dough inside the bag for about 5 minutes until it forms a smooth ball.
Step 6: Remove the dough from the bag and place it into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes.
Step 7: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast. You can use a freezer bag for extra durability during the kneading process.
