Vanilla Yogurt Bread - Recipe

Good morning,

Here's another bread that has a smooth texture and rich flavor.

We like these little loaves for open face sandwiches, toasted with some cream cheese for breakfast, and sandwiches for little hands when the grandchildren are here.

Enjoy,

Lois

Vanilla Yogurt Bread - Recipe

-------------------------------------------------

Ingredients:

1 cup sourdough culture - If you don't have sourdough culture, use an additional 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup water in addition to the ingredients listed below. The dry yeast will cause your bread to rise, but you won't have the sourdough flavor.

1 egg

2 T vegetable oil

2 t salt

2 t sugar

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

3 cups flour

2 t dry yeast

Place all ingredients in large capacity bread machine in order given. Set on dough cycle and turn on.

The first dough cycle on most machines is about 40 minutes. Watch the action to be sure a dough ball forms at least 1/3 way through the cycle. Add a little flour or water if necessary to get the correct consistency.

When first dough cycle finished, remove from machine and place in a greased bowl for first rise. Place the bowl in a warm place such as the oven with the light, but no heat turned on. If you place it out on the counter in a warm place, cover with a damp cloth. This batch required about two hours for the first rise. Keep in mind that the temperature in your kitchen and the mood of the yeast can change the time required for the dough to rise.

If you are using crockery or glass pans/dishes for baking, set the them in a warm place, too. I use my second oven with the light turned on.

This recipe will make two standard size loaves. For this batch, I'm using a pan that makes 8 tiny loaves.

After the first rise, knead the dough to remove bubbles.

When the first rise is finished (dough has doubled in size) remove from oven.

Grease bread pan and your hands.

Divide into the number of parts as the number of pans you will use. Knead to remove bubbles, shape in loaf shapes, and place in bread pans.

Place the bread dough back in the oven with the light, but no heat turned on.

When it is finished rising the second time, bake at 350 F for 35 mins. for the pan that makes 8 tiny loaves; if you are using 2 standard size loaf pans, bake at 350 F for 45 mins.

When finished baking and golden brown, remove from oven, turn out to cooling racks immediately.
