Instructions
- For best results, all ingredients and utensils should be at room temperature.
- Dissolve dry yeast in warm water (110 °F). Let stand for 4–5 minutes. Set aside for step 5.
- Place flour, dry milk, sugar, and salt in a commercial mixer (batch as needed). Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Leave dry ingredients in mixer.
- Add water and mix for 1 minute on low speed.
- Add dissolved yeast and mix for 2 minutes on low speed.
- Add shortening, and mix for 2 minutes on low speed.
- Knead dough for 8 minutes on medium speed or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a warm area (about 90 °F) for 45–60 minutes.
- Punch dough to remove air bubbles and let rest for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, begin shaping dough on a lightly floured surface. For 25 servings, shape about 3 lb dough into a smooth, 24"-long loaf. For 50 servings, divide dough into 2 pieces, about 3 lb each.Shape each piece into a smooth, 24"-long loaf.
- Place loaf lengthwise in a loaf pan (20³⁄4" x 6 7⁄16") lightly coated with pan-release spray and sprinkled with 1 Tbsp cornmeal. For 25 servings, use 1 pan. For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
- Place loaf pans in a warm area (about 90 °F) until double in size for 30–50 minutes.
- Brush top of each loaf with water. Using scissors or a very sharp knife, cut 5–6 diagonal slits ¹⁄4" deep on top of each loaf.
- Bake until browned: Conventional oven: 400 °F for 25 minutes. Convection oven: 350 °F for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- (Optional) Combine spices and oil in a small bowl. Stir well. Spread oil mixture evenly over loaf.
- Allow bread to come to room temperature before cutting.
- Portion: Cut each loaf into 25 slices, 7⁄8" thick.
