Homemade Bread Recipe

Thank you Lynnette Summers for hosting March's Cooking Group. She has found a universal dough recipe that is sooo yummy:

Homemade Bread

10 1/2 Cups white bread flour or wheat flour (DO NOT us all-purpose flour). Lynnette used Bob's Red Mill organic unbleached white bread flour (you can get it at the bulk section at Winco)
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
3 Rounded tablespoons saf-instant yeast (you can get this at Winco, it is a must)
3 Tablespoons liquid soy lecithin (you can get this at Fred Meyer in their whole foods section. If you would like to buy this in bulk talk to Lynnette, she can get it cheaper)
*squeeze or pour approximately 3 tablespoons of lecithin directly into the bowl. Don't measure.
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 for 25 minutes. This recipe makes four loaves of bread.

For whole wheat bread, use the same recipe but add one cup of applesauce as part of the hot tap water. Mix for ten minutes.

Here is a list of what you can make with this recipe:
Loaves
Rolls & Buns
Soup Bowls
Breadsticks
Pizza (400 degrees)
Scone-Navajo Taco
Cinnamon Rolls
Monkey Bread
Orange Rolls (bake in a muffin tin)
