I found this recipe on Pinterest (original source), and it worked amazingly. I love making fresh bread, but I sometimes find it difficult to schedule my day around the rising and kneading schedule. This bread, however, is the quickest one I have ever done. It makes two loaves, and they are big enough to eat one and share one with a friend. (Side note: giving someone a fresh loaf of bread as a hostess gift is one of the most show-stopping things you can do!) If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, this is that gorgeous bread I've posted pictures of in the past.
Here's the recipe!
Ingredients:
2 cups warm water
1 packet yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
4-5 cups flour
1 egg
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast until sugar is dissolved. Let sit til you see bubbles.
- Begin to gradually add flour and salt until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Knead the dough until it is stretchy.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and form into two loaves.
- Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet.
- Beat egg and brush over top of loaves.
- Bake until golden brown. (around 20 minutes)

Everett LOVES this bread as a companion to almost anything I cook, but some fresh jam or good honey is the perfect topping to a hot-n-fresh slice.
Enjoy!
