Ingredients
Instructions
Combine water and yeast and let sit until foamy
about 10 minutes.
Combine flour
coconut oil
sugar
salt
and yeast mixture in a bowl. Knead until silky-smooth
about 15 minutes. Place dough in a large
lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume
about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf and place into the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume
about 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes for an Italian-style loaf or 45 minutes for a sandwich-style bread.
Cook’s Note
If using a bread machine
add the dry ingredients
then start the machine on the dough cycle and slowly add the coconut oil and yeast mixture.If you are using a clay baker
soak the baker in water while preheating the oven. Bake the bread for 30 minutes with the cover on
and bake uncovered for 15 additional minutes to get a nice brown crust on top.I also use this recipe for naan (just roll out into 1/4-inch-thick discs and fry on a griddle) or pizza (skip the second rising and just roll it out). I use coconut oil or olive oil around the edge of the pizza dough to give the crust a nice golden brown color.Use 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast and a bit more salt if making this recipe at a low altitude.
