Amish Sweet Bread Recipe
Made this today intending it to be a side with dinner...however...my family had other ideas lol. Instead of bread, half was turned into strawberry rolls and the other half into blueberry rolls. They turned out wonderful! I can't wait to try it as a bread like its meant to be lol Now, to think of a different side to make with dinner......
Ingredients
2 cups water (110° F)
2/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup oil
5.5-6 cups flour
Servings: 2 loaves
Instructions
Combine water, sugar, and yeast and let it proof.
When yeast mixture is a creamy foam with little bubbles (about 10 minutes), mix in oil and salt into the yeast mixture.
Slowly mix in one cup of flour at a time. Use as much flour as needed to create a good, non-sticky dough.
Knead dough for about 5 minutes.
Oil a bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a slightly damp cloth to let rise. Let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
After it has risen, punch cough down. Divide in half and shape loaves.
Place loaves into 2 well-oiled 9x5" loaf pans. Allow to rise for about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Place on a wire rack to allow to cool.
Recipe Notes
Use less sugar if desired to create a normal bread.
