A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons warm water
⅓ cup oil
2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
3½ cups flour (either bread flour or all-purpose will work)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes. Mix 2 cups of the flour, the salt, and the egg into the yeast mixture using a dough hook. Add the remaining 1½ cups flour ½ cup at a time. Shape dough into 12 balls and place in a 9×13 pan. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. Bake for 10 minutes or until tops are just golden brown.
