I am off work today and it is too bad to get outside so I decided to bake bread. I haven't made bread in several years and have been wanting to do it. I got this recipe from a cook on a drilling rig back when I was running tow boats in the oil field.
3 c water
3c milk
2c sugar
8 pkg. yeast
mix the following
2c oil
beat in 1 tsp. salt
Beat 6 eggs into the oil 1 at a time thin mix in the milk and sugar
I get the three cups of warm water add a little sugar and a little flour and dissolve the yeast into the water to let it get started. When the yeast starts bubbling mix it into the milk, sugar,oil, and egg mix.
Mix thourghly.
Dump in 5 lbs. of flour and mix with a very stout spoon or 2x4. it needs to be stout.
when mixed start adding flour and kneeding the bread,- I usually use another 2 lbs. of flour.
Cover and let rise.
punch down and shape into whatever kind of bread you want. Let rise and bake at 350F. Makes excellent hambuger buns.
By the way, if you didn't notice this makes a LOT of bread.
