Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425° about one hour before you are ready to bake.

2. Prepare pan, choosing from an oiled* or parchment lined cookie sheet or a rimmed, half-sheet pan, or a greased, 8” to 9” layer cake pan or a greased, 2-quart oven-proof, round casserole dish.

3. Pour 1 1/3 cups warm water into PrepPal™, add yeast packet and whisk well until yeast is dispersed.

4. Add the contents of one Wild About Bread™ mix. Cover and shake PrepPal™ vigorously for 30 seconds to mix well, turning PrepPal™ over, back and forth, and horizontally, until all flour is incorporated. Open lid and using a rubber spatula, scrape down top of lid, sides and bottom of the PrepPal™.

5. Close lid and snap 2 of the 5 snaps. Set PrepPal™ in warm area (75° to 85°) until dough has doubled in size, approximately 2 to 3 hours. Open PrepPal™ once during this proofing time, scraping down sides and top of PrepPal™ again, close and place back in warm area.

6. Note: If time does not permit baking after proofing, move dough to refrigerator and hold there for up to 3 days. Before baking, dough should be at room temperature. Follow instructions below.

7. Open lid, scrape down sides and bottom of PrepPal™, and invert dough into prepared pan.

8. Shape dough into a round loaf, using rubber spatula to shape, or dump dough into the prepared layer cake pan or casserole dish.

9. Bake on center rack in oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating pan once during baking time. Bread is fully baked when bottom of loaf, when lifted with a spatula, is a rich golden brown.

10. Cool on wire rack 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
