Batter bread is a no-knead yeast bread made with unbleached all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1.25 cups warm water , 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package active dry yeast , .25 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon butter , melted

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine 1 1/4 cups sifted flour, warm water, shortening, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl; beat by hand for 300 strokes or with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Mix in remaining 1 3/4 cups sifted flour, scraping the bowl often, until dough is smooth. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch dough down gently; it will be sticky. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan, patting it down and shaping it with floured hands. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Uncover dough and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Brush melted butter over top and let cool.
