BREADS
Makes 18 servings (two 9 x 5-inch loaves,
1¼ pounds each)
Approximate preparation time: 10 to 15 minutes,
plus 2½ hours rising and resting, 35 minutes baking,
and 1 hour or longer cooling
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water in a large
liquid measuring cup. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Insert the dough blade into the large work bowl of the
Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Add the flour, butter and salt
and process until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.
Add the cold water to yeast mixture. With the machine
running, pour the liquid through the feed tube as fast as
the flour absorbs it. Once the dough cleans the sides of
the work bowl and forms a ball, process for 45 seconds to
knead the dough. Dough should be smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly floured plastic food storage
bag and seal. Allow to rest in a warm place until doubled
in size, about 1 to 1½ hours.
Lightly coat two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking
spray. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and punch
down; let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Divide dough into two
equal pieces and shape each into a loaf. Place in
prepared pans and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let rise
until dough is just above the tops of the pans, about 45
minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Bake until the tops are browned and loaf sounds hollow
when tapped, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from pans
and cool on wire rack.
