Easy Batter Bread
I love making batter breads, mostly because I get to skip the kneading
part. Although there are some breads that give me great satisfaction
when working the dough, most days I like making the batter breads.

​

​
​
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• ¼ tsp sea salt
​
​
• 1 ¾ oz pkg active dry yeast (1 pkt)
​
​

Instructions
​
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Set aside.
​
​
2. In a small pan, heat the milk, water, and butter to 120°F to 130°F. Pour
into the flour mixture then add the beaten egg.
​
​
3. On low speed, blend until moistened; then beat at medium speed
for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour until you have a stiff batter.
​
​
I use a dough hook for the last step. If necessary, you can add up to
an additional ½ cup flour to get the right consistency. Just make
sure all the flour is thoroughly mixed in.
​
​
4. Spoon into the prepared pan; cover and let rise in a warm place
until light and almost doubled in size, 30 to 50 minutes.
​
​
5. Preheat oven to 350°F; bake for 30 to 45 minutes until bread is
golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on rack.

*Start with 2 cups and add up to ½ cup more if needed.
