Fernando's Favorite House Bread
- 1 cup low-fat milk (AltaDena)
- 12 cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon orange juice (Tropicana)
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (Vons)
- 4 cups high gluten bleached all purpose flour (4 gr.protein not 3)
- 1 12 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons birch sugar (common name is Xylitol)
- 2 teaspoons ghee butter
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (Red Star dry active)
- Bread machine - use standard 1 1/2 hour dough setting.
- place first 4 ingredients, yes put the powdered sugar in with the liquid, in the machine.
- add the flour.
- add the other ingredients as normal in each corner, the yeast in the middle.
- when the cycle has finished punch down.
- roll out on a lightly floured bread board and form into long loaf - you'll need to roll this loaf about 8 inches longer than the pan in order to turn the ends and make into an S shape.
- place S shape loaf into the 12" loaf pan.
- Let rise about 1 hour in a draft free place covered with a floured bread towel until doubled - the oven with the light on and a bowl of hot water on the bottom rack works just fine for me.
- Bake at 390 degrees 30 minutes or so depending on your oven.
- Done when golden brown.
