I was complaining to a friend about my lack of time lately. I had to buy a bunch of bread at the grocery store and my family was disgusted. She said" hey..I have a recipe for you. It's food processor bread!"
What? No kneading? I was skeptical but I humored her and said "Sure. I'll try it."
The next evening I was looking at my yeast jar on the counter and figured"why not?"
It took 5 minutes to throw together and process. I put the loaf pan in the fridge overnight to slow rise. The next morning when I got up I threw it in the oven and , I'll be darned, after it cooled the bread was really good. The texture was very similar to the potato bread I make for sandwiches.
SO....no more excuses! This is the easiest homemade bread recipe EVER!
2 cups white AP flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 Tb white sugar
1 Pkg rapid rise yeast
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tb butter
1 egg
3/4 cup warm water
Add dry ingredients to food processor bowl. Pulse 10 seconds to combine. Add butter and egg.
Start processor and pour warm water through chute until dough forms(about 15 seconds)
Process dough for 60 seconds more to knead dough.
Remove dough to floured board and let rest 10 minutes.
Form into a loaf and place in greased 8 x 4 loaf pan.
Refrigerate overnight. Dough should be doubled by morning.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.
Yay! Fresh bread!!!
