It's in the bag.

I made bread-in-a-bag last weekend. It was very good even if I do say so myself. There's no proof left because I ate it, but here's the recipe if you want to try it yourself. The basil bread made lovely sandwiches, but I used small pans so I had to slice the bread lengthwise.

Bread in a Bag

Ingredients

3 cups all purpose or bread flour (more or less)
3 tablespoons powdered milk
1 package rapid rise yeast
1 cup hot water (125 to 130 degrees F)
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Extra flour to use during kneading process

Directions

1. Heat water in microwave with sugar and salt until it’s between 125 – 130 degrees.
2. Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and powdered milk in a 1-gallon heavy duty plastic freezer bag. Squeeze upper part of bag to force out the air, and then seal the bag. Shake and work bag with fingers to blend ingredients.
3. Add hot water and oil to dry ingredients. Reseal bag. Mix by working bag with fingers.
4. Add 1 cup flour, reseal bag, and mix dough by working bag with fingers.
5. Add ½ cup flour, reseal bag, and continue working until the dough is completely mixed and pulls away from the bag. Work in more flour if needed, about ¼ cup at a time. (Dough should still be a little bit sticky.)
6. Take bread out of the bag and place on floured surface. Knead dough 5 - 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. (Don't use too much flour.) Put dough back into bag and let it rest 10 minutes.
7. Divide dough in half and shape into loaves. ( I patted each half into a rectangle about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick an 5 inches long. Then I lightly brushed them with melted butter. On one loaf I sprinkled a little dried basil and on the other I sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon with a few raisins. Then I rolled up each dough rectangle to make the loaves and used small pans, 7 ½ x 3 1/4 x 2 ½-inches.)
8. Place in greased bread pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 30 minutes. (You know it's doubled when you poke it a little with your finger, and the impression of your finger remains in the dough.)
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
10. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack or dish towels.
