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.
