Homemade bread (3 Different recipes)

This is the simplest bread recipe ever.  I love it and you can make 4 loaves of bread in an hour.

The one on the left is the normal bread and the one on the right is the Italian bread.

10 1/2 Cups white unbleached bread flour
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
3 Rounded tablespoons saf instant yeast
3 Tablespoons liquid lecithin
4 Cups hot tap water

Mix dry ingredients.  Add lecithin and water.  Mix for 1 minute and check consistency.  If dough is too dry, add more water.  If dough is too moist, add more flour. Mix for 5 minutes.  (Do not add water or flour to the dough after it has finished mixing.)  Spray counter and pans with pam.  Shape loaves and cover with a dish towel.  Let raise 25 minutes.  Bake at 350* for 25 minutes.  This recipe makes four loaves of bread.

I half the recipe and only make 2 at a time because I don't have a big enough mixer.

*Squeeze or pour approximately 3 tablespoons of lecithin directly into the bowl.  Do not measure.  When you pour, each tablespoon is the size of a quarter.  So make three quarter size shapes in the dry mixture. 

You can make this into a whole wheat bread also.  Use the same recipe but add one cup of applesauce as part of the hot tap water.  Mix for 10 minutes. 


For the Italian bread:
Use the same recipe for the bread but in the dry ingredients add garlic powder, Italian seasonings, season salt and Parmesan cheese.  Then add all your liquid. 

I didn't icing them before I took the picture so you can see how they look,

For the cinnamon rolls:

Make bread as normal then roll out and add brown sugar, butter and cinnamon.  Roll them up and cut in to rolls.  Let raise for 25 minutes and bake 25 minutes.  Theses are my family's favorite.
