- Place the dough into a well-greased pan, turning once to coat and allow to rise for about 1 1/2 hours. Dough is ready when doubled in size and indentation remains when pressing a finger into the center.
- Press to deflate and shape the dough as you desire. You can use it to make mini pizzas, hot dog wraps, 2 regular sized pizzas, 2 loafs of bread or cinnamon bread.
- After shaping the dough, allow to rise again for 10-15 minutes before baking. Bake in a very hot oven (450-500 F) for 12-15 minutes. Check for desired golden color / doneness. Ovens vary in cooking time, so check the dough at about 10 minute and then adjust the cooking time / temperature according to your oven.

Steps:
- In a measuring cup, mix the sugar with a 1/2 cup of the warm water and yeast and let stand in a warm place for 5 minutes, or until frothy. If using fast-acting yeast, there is no need to let the mixture stand.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Rub in the butter, and make a well in the center. If using olive oil instead of butter, pour the olive oil into the remaining 1 1/2 cups water. Pour in the yeast mixture and most of the remaining water (and the olive oil, if using). Mix to a loose dough, adding the remaining water if needed, plus extra if necessary.
- Knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and springy to the touch, about 10 minutes. If kneading in an electric food mixer with a dough hook, 5 minutes is usually long enough.
- Put the dough in a large oiled bowl. Cover the top tightly with plastic wrap, and place somewhere warm to rise, until it is doubled in size. This may take up to 2 or even (on a cold day) 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- When the dough has more than doubled in size, punch down, and knead again for 2 to 3 minutes. Leave to relax for 10 minutes before you begin to shape the bread.
- Shape the bread into loaves or rolls, and then transfer to a baking tray, and cover with a clean tea or dish towel. Allow to rise again in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes, until the shaped dough has again doubled in size. When the dough has fully risen, it should leave a dent when you gently press the dough with your finger.
- The bread is full of air at this point, and therefore very fragile, gently brush the loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if using, or dust lightly with flour for a rustic-looking loaf.
- Bake in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes for a loaf, depending on its size, or 10 to 15 minutes for rolls, Turn the heat down to 400 degrees F, after 15 minutes for the remaining baking time. When baked, the bread should sound hollow when tapped on the base. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:
- Combine the Water and Milk. Gently heat the liquids to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e. barely warm to touch). Stir in the yeast. Transfer the wet ingredients to a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the Eggs and soft Butter followed by the Bread Flour, Sugar and Salt.
- Start mixing the dough on low speed until the ingredients are mostly combined. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is well-combined and begins to appear smooth - about 5 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and scrape down the dough hook and the sides of the bowl. At this point the ingredients should be very well combined; however, the gluten structure will require further development. Continue kneading the dough on high speed until the gluten structure is fully developed - about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl or proofing container. Cover the dough and let it proof until doubled in size - about 45-60 minutes.
- Turn/fold the dough (i.e. "punch" it down to degas) and proof it for a second time until doubled in size - about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Turn/fold the dough a second time. Portion the dough into 50g pieces. Form individual rolls (i.e. roll each piece with a cupped hand in a tight circle to form a smooth ball of dough). Place the rolls on a parchment lined sheet tray and cover it with a non-stick spray coated piece of plastic wrap. Let the rolls rest for the final proof - about 20 - 30 minutes.
- Lightly egg wash the rolls and sprinkle them with coarse salt. Bake the rolls until golden brown - about 15-20 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Storage: The rolls can be stored for several days in an air tight container. Allow the rolls to cool completely before wrapping. The rolls can also be stored in the freezer for several months wrapped in plastic wrap. To reheat the rolls, remove them from the freezer and allow them to temper. Reheat the rolls on a parchment lined sheet tray in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5-10 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine 5 ounces of the flour, 1/4 teaspoon of the yeast, all of the honey, and all of the bottled water in a straight-sided container; cover loosely and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
- Place the remaining 11 ounces of flour, remaining yeast, and all the salt into the bowl of a stand mixer, and add the pre-ferment from the refrigerator. Using the dough hook attachment, knead the mixture on low for 2 to 3 minutes just until it comes together. Cover the dough in the bowl with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, knead the dough on medium speed for 5 to 10 minutes or until you are able to gently pull the dough into a thin sheet that light will pass through. The dough will be sticky, but not so sticky that you can't handle it.
- While the dough is kneading, pour half of the hot water into a shallow pan and place on the bottom rack of your oven.
- Grease the inside of a large straight-sided container with the vegetable oil. Place the dough ball into the container and set on the rack above the pan of water. Allow to rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it onto a counter top, lightly dust your hands with flour, and press the dough out with your knuckles; then fold 1 side in towards the middle of the mass and then the other, as if you were making a tri-fold wallet. Repeat the folding a second time. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for another 10 minutes.
- Flatten dough again with your knuckles and then fold the dough in onto itself, like you are shaping something that looks like a jellyfish. Turn the dough over and squeeze the bottom together so that the top surface of the dough is smooth. Place the dough back onto the counter and begin to roll gently between your hands. Do not grab the dough but allow it to move gently back and forth between your hands, moving in a circular motion. Move the dough ball to a pizza peel or the bottom of a sheet pan that has been sprinkled with the cornmeal. Cover with the kitchen towel and allow to bench proof for 1 hour, or until you poke the dough and it quickly fills back in where you poked it.
- Place an unglazed terra cotta dish upside down into the oven and heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the 1/3 cup of water and the cornstarch in a small bowl. Uncover the dough and brush the surface with this mixture. Gently slash the top surface of the dough ball in several places, approximately 1/3 to 1/2-inch deep. Add more of the hot water to the shallow pan if it has evaporated. Slide the bread onto the terra cotta dish in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Once the bread has reached an internal temperature of 205 to 210 degrees F, remove to a cooling rack and allow to sit for 30 minutes before slicing.

EASY YEAST BREAD WITH VARIATIONS
Found online in response to a request and now posted by request. The blurb that accompanied it read as follows: "The following came from a pamphlet of the same title I picked up in the baking supplies aisle of a Krogers in either Kalamazoo or Battle Creek about 25 years ago. I've used every variation and facet of the instructions and had nothing but success! My faves are the rye breads. Unlimited variety from these basic recipes!" I have not tried this recipe so times and servings are a guess-timate. A lot of directions but then... a LOT of variations to try.

Steps:
- Stir the sugar into the water then add the yeast and give that a quick stir. Leave it to sit on the counter for a 8-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix 2 cups of the flour and salt in a heavy duty mixer with the kneading attatchment.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix well, gradually adding flour until it comes away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Turn onto a floured counter and knead it for 5-10 minutes adding flour as neccecary. The dough should be fairly springy but not too sticky.
- Place the dough into a greased bowl and turn it once to coat it with a little oil.
- Let the dough rise in a warm area with a cloth over it until doubled in size, for about an hour.
- Punch down dough and form it into the desired loaf shape. I prefer the baguette. To make a baguette, divide the dough in half, spread each half out into a rectangle then roll it up and slit the top. Place the loaves onto an oiled and cornmealed cookie sheet. Cover the loaves up with a cloth and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
- Spray the loaves with a little pam spray and bake it for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let it cool on cooling rack before cutting.
