Grandma Krebels Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size.
• Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
• Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup of the sugar with the yeast in 1 cup warm water.
• Sift the flour with the remaining sugar and salt.
• Add the remaining 3 cups warm water and the yeast mixture to make the dough.
• Knead well, then place in greased or buttered bowl, cover, and rise for 1 hour.
• Knead again and let rise for 2 1/2 hours.
• Punch down and form into 4 loaves.
• Place loaves in greased and floured loaf pans, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
• Bake at 275 degrees for 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.

• Bake in a preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
