Bread from the Relief Society Conference

10.5 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, three TBS of instant yeast, three TBS of liquid lecithin (which is an emulsifier), one TBS salt, and four cups of "hot tap water." Use mostly hard red wheat flour and a little white flour.

Mix dry ingredients. Then you are supposed to add liquid lecithin which is basically an oil. Don't ask where it comes from ;you do not want to know! ( I use the granules+ 1 T olive oil which do not have a high level of triglycerides...0.) Instead of 4 c of water add 3 c. water + 1 cup applesauce.

Mix for 1 minute. If dough is too dry and pulls away from sides of bowl-it is too dry. Add a little water. The dough should be very sticky. Sray pans and hands with PAM Shape loaves and cover with a dry towel.

If grinding wheat just prior to mixing, let rise 15-18 min.; the flour is warm and dough will rise faster. If using room temp. flour, let rise 25 min.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 min. Makes 4 loaves
