White Mountain Country Bread:
Tweaked on 10/4/03 by Jeannie:
In a bowl or container:
3 cups of King Arthur all purpose flour
mixed with the following...
1/2 cup Carnation low fat powdered milk
1T sugar
1 1/4 t salt
1 T vital wheat gluten
*
2 teaspoons instant yeast (I use SAF Perfect Rise)
set aside
*
4 T corn oil
*
In a 2 cup measure mix 1 whole egg with enough milk to measure 2/3 of a cup, then add 1/2 cup hot water and the oil
Mix....
*
For Bread Machine:
In the dough bucket of your bread machine, put in all the liquid, add all the dry ingredients, top with yeast, and set your bread machine to "Dough" setting.......when it's finished kneading, reset your machine to have it go through the dough kneading cycle again, and this time turn off the bread machine and let it rise in the machine for 1 hour.
Remove from the dough bucket, sprinkle a little flour on your board, and shape into a loaf to fit an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pan. I then put it in my microwave to rise for 45-55 min.
( I find the microwave a good place, I don't have to cover the dough...)
*
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 22-25 min, or to internal temperature of 190 degrees. Remove from pan, place on a rack, sprinkle with a pinch or two of flour and let cool.
*
MIXER:
If using a mixer, put the liquid ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients, and mix with a dough hook until smooth and satiny about 15-30 min, depending on your machine.
Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl and let rise as above, and proceed as above.
*
BY HAND:
Reserve 1/2 cup of the flour to use on your board....
put all the dry ingredients on your board, make a well in the center and add the wet ingredients. Mix and knead until smooth and satiny.. then transfer to a greased bowl...and continue as above...

I have not made this bread bake in bread machine as of yet.
