Easy Lazy Woman Bread recipe

For this bread recipe, you will need a 10qt/2.5 gal food safe container with a lid to store your bread dough in or you can half the recipe and use a smaller container.

Bread Ingredients Needed to Make Lazy Woman Bread Recipe

• 6 cups warm water
• 1/2 c oil
• 2 T olive oil
• 1/4 c sugar
• 1/4c yeast
• 1/4 c powdered milk
• 6-8c white flour
• 4-6c fun grains (rye, potato flakes, oatmeal, flaxseed, red wheat, graham, whatever)

Directions to make Lazy Woman Homemade bread

Step 1

In the order listed above, mix with a dough hook in a large mixing bowl. Mix ingredients well. The dough will look wet compared to traditional bread dough at this stage.

Step 2

Dump the mixture into a 10q food safe tub and cover.

Step 3

Let the bread dough sit on the counter for an hour or two until it rises nearly to the lid.

Step 4

Then refrigerate.

Step 5

Take dough out as needed to bake. The dough will keep for over a week in the refrigerator.

Step 6

I usually let the bread sit for about twenty minutes before baking to reactivate the yeast and that will give you the time to pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 7

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the bread looks golden.

Also, for a crusty taste, bake it simultaneously with a pot of water in the oven.

It is really the lazy woman’s bread! {Giggle}
