Bread Rising

It's one of our happy moments each day to have a fresh clean loaf of bread for our sandwiches. The boys don't do much at this point, just push the "on" button on the processor and watch it fly around the processor bowl. Then they get to punch it after it's risen.

So we had a discussion about yeast/sugar and made two cups with one having cold and one having warm and rechecked 5 minutes later to see the warm water yeast/sugar mixture had risen the most.

Bread recipe?

5 cups any type flour (wheat, white, etc.)
1 TB yeast
1 TB sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 c water

Throw it all in a processor with a dough blade and let it fly around until it forms a ball. Let it go a few more minutes. Take it out, throw it in a large bowl, cover with a clean towel and let sit for an hour. Punch it down, take it out, knead it and throw it in a bread pan. Let rise for another 10-15 minutes in a warm place. Throw it in the oven (pre-heated) at 375 for 23 minutes or until nicely brown on top and hollow sounding on the bottom. Throw it on a cooling rack and try not to eat it until it's mostly cooled.
