Homemade Bread - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Rise Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 package rapid rise yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 ½ to 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  • Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and let sit for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • After the yeast mixture begins to bubble, add the salt and the eggs and mix until smooth.
  • In a separate mixing bowl add the flour, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • Gradually add the flour in to the yeast mixture, one cup at a time, and mix.
  • Aim for the dough to be more moist than dry. Fold in the flour with a spoon until a shaggy dough is made.
  • Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for five minutes.
  • Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover with a towel.
  • Set to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
  • Tip: you can pre heat oven to 300 degrees F for 3 minutes then turn off and place bread in to rise.
  • After the dough is risen, punch it down and dump out onto a floured surface. Form into a rectangle and place the dough into a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Form the dough to fit the pan, and take a table knife and make a slice down the middle of the dough. With the edge of the knife, make a trough about 1/2 inch wide.
  • Pour the melted butter in the trough and let the dough rise for another 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Optional: Sprinkle with onion powder, and/or garlic powder.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F. oven.
  • Remove from the oven when golden brown. Place on a wire rack and let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Dump the bread out onto the rack.
  • Slice with a serrated knife and serve, or let the bread cool completely and wrap in a tea towel. Slice as needed for sandwich bread.
