Being in Wisconsin, I am far from any Portuguese market, and if there is one thing I DO miss, it's good bread.
Sure there are lots of great bakeries around the area. But am I going to be spending $4 on a good loaf of bread when I can make it at home for less than a third of it? I am frugal, so whenever I can, I WILL try to save and do things myself.
These rolls are amazing to enjoy with your meal as well as for sandwiches for your kids to take to school.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups flour
2 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp yeast
DIRECTIONS
- Add all ingredients in the above order to the bread maker.
- Program it to dough.
- Place some flour over the stone you are going to bake it on.
- Form the dough into a large ball or divide it into small individual ones and place them on top of the stone.
- Pre-heat the oven at 220 and place a oven safe bowl with water to create humidity.
- Place stone with dough balls in the oven for about 20 minutes. If you are making it as a whole bread you will need to keep it for about 40 minutes in the oven.
@Sofia...Sorry, but I'm old fashioned and don't own a bread maker. What are the directions when you don't use a bread maker? I don't suppose anyone can translate this into a 'non-bread maker' recipe... @Sofia.... Are you using white 'bread' flour?
@..whomever: I did use white flour indeed. I have yet t try with whole wheat flour.
I am looking forward to trying this recipe with my kids. Thank you for sharing, Sofia.
I have tried several brands and get the best results from unbleached unbromated Gold Medal Bread Flour.
