Lesa's Bread




My friend makes the best bread in the world. I think she is one of the few people in the world left who doesn't buy bread at all. I'm typing this while I sit in my kitchen watching her making dinner rolls, hoagie rolls, loaves of bread, and now she says she's going to make something heavenly that involves braided dough with cream cheese and pie filling. And not just any pie filling either- it's her home-canned pie filling. So, this is her bread recipe using a Bosch mixer.
10 1/2 c. flour- any combination of white, wheat, or different types of grain flours
1/2 c. sugar- this can be reduced down to 1/3 cup
3 Tblsp. instant yeast
1 Tblsp. salt (add more salt if you are using a high ratio of wheat flour)
3 Tblsp. soy lecithin (don't measure it- just pour it in
4 c. hot water
Add all the ingredients right into the mixing bowl. Begin mixing, and make sure the dough has a playdough-like consistency. Add more flour or water as needed. Turn on the mixer and let it knead for 5 minutes. Quickly shape into rolls or loaves, place in buttered pans, brush with melted butter, and let it rise for 25 minutes. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes.
