One Hour Bread Recipe

Mini Chef Mondays – One Hour Bread Recipe

Last year when my son was in Kindergarten he come one day asking to bake bread. He was so excited about it! They had read a book in school that day all about baking bread and it got him really interested. I searched for a really long time though to actually find the book he was talking about! After a long search, we finally found it: Bread Comes to Life.

When I asked the kids what we should make for this week’s Mini Chef Mondays post, my son immediately remembered about the book and said confidentially, bread.

For a lot of people, bread can be intimidating. But it’s actually very easy (and fun).

To get started, mix 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp honey and 1 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast with 1 1/2 cups of warm water. Let that sit for 5-10 minutes so that the mixture becomes foamy on top.

In a large bowl, add the yeast mix with a good 3 cups of all-purpose flour to start.

Start kneading the bread and add more and more flour as needed. Your goal is to get the flour to no longer stick to your fingers.

Form the bread into a loaf and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise on the counter for at least 15 minutes.

Bake 30-40 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

Let cool and ta-da!
