Bread in a Bag

Step 1

When ready to bake, grease a loaf pan and preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of the flour and the sugar and yeast. Pour into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag, and add warm water. Seal bag, pressing out air, and shake and mash bag by hand until combined.

Step 3

Set bag on counter to rest for 10 minutes. When you return, mixture should be bubbly.

Step 4

In the same bowl used before, mix together 1 cup of flour and salt. Pour into the bag along with the melted butter. Seal bag, pressing out air, and shake bag and mix again.

Step 5

Open bag and add remaining flour. Close bag and mix until well combined. Remove dough to a floured surface and knead with floured hands for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

Place dough in prepared loaf pan and lay a towel over the top. Place in a warm spot in your home and allow dough to rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
