Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoon quick rise yeast
- 2 1/2 cups very warm water divided
- 6 cups flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar divided
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Mix together in a medium sized bowl yeast and 1/2 cup warm water. Mix well and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, or until bubbly.
- Mix together flour, sugar, salt, oil, and remaining water (2 cups).
- Once the yeast has bubbled, add in your flour mixture.
- Using a dough hook on a stand mixer, continue to mix the dough for about 5 minutes on a medium speed.
- Grease your instant pot inner lid with some oil to prevent your dough from sticking.
- Transfer to the instant pot. Set your instant pot to yogurt mode. Cover with the lid.
- At 10 minutes, transfer back to your mixing bowl, and knead for 5 minutes. Transfer back to the instant pot keeping it on yogurt mode. Continue this for a total of 3 times, for 40 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- On a cookie sheet, lightly flour the pan. Transfer your dough to the pan and separate into two portions.
- Form the bread in a long loaf, like a French loaf. Score the top with a knife. Brush with the egg white to allow your bread to brown.
- Place your bread in the oven for 10 minutes. Without removing the bread from the oven, turn the oven degrees down to 375 degrees for an additional 20 minutes.
- Enjoy with butter and/or jam!
