Use sharp knife to cut rolled dough into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices in pan, cut side up, and let rise until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375°F. 15 minutes before baking. Bake coffee cake until golden and bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

White Bread

We used unbleached all-purpose flour and had great results.

INGREDIENTS

1package dry yeast

1/3 cup warm water

1

tablespoon sugar

5

cups all-purpose flour

4tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch size pieces

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1-1/3 cups ice water Vegetable oil for pans

Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in 2-cup measure and let stand until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Use dough blade to process flour, butter and salt for 20 seconds. Add ice water to yeast mixture.

With machine running, pour liquid through feed tube in steady stream, only as fast as flour absorbs it. Continue processing until dough cleans inside of work bowl and forms a ball. Then let machine run for 60 seconds to knead dough.

Shape dough into ball and place in lightly floured plastic storage bag. Squeeze out air and close end with wire twist, allowing space for dough to rise. Let rise in warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

Punch dough down and shape into 2 loaves. Place each in greased 6-cup loaf pan. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until dough just rises above top of pan, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375˚F. 15 minutes before baking. Bake until top is browned, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

Whole Wheat Variation: Replace 1/2 of all-purpose flour with an equal amount of whole wheat flour.

Basic Pizza Dough

With this dough, you can make large pizza crusts to serve several, or small ones to serve a few.

 

INGREDIENTS

1

package active dry yeast

1teaspoon sugar

2/3 cup warm water

1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

2teaspoons oil Vegetable oil for pan

1-1/2 tablespoons cornmeal for pan

Stir yeast and sugar into warm water and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Insert metal blade, put flour and salt in work bowl and turn on machine. Pour yeast mixture through feed tube and process about 45 seconds, until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Add oil through feed tube and process

60 seconds longer.

If dough sticks to sides of bowl, add more flour,

1 tablespoon at a time, processing 10 seconds after each addition, until dough leaves sides of bowl but remains soft.

Roll dough on floured surface into circle, rotating and turning dough often and using enough flour so it doesn’t stick. If dough resists rolling, let it rest for a few minutes and try again. Roll dough into 15-inch circle for flat 14-inch pizza pan, or into 10-inch circle for flat 9-inch pizza pan.
