    Source of Recipe


    Tea Cozy

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 C. Milk Alternative of Choice
    1 C. Boiling Water
    1-1/2 T. Dry Yeast
    1/4 C. Hot Water (105 to 110 degrees)
    2 T. Melted Vegan Margarine (or Olive Oil)
    1 T. Sugar
    4 C. Bread Flour (All-purpose flour is OK)
    2 tsp. Sugar
    2 tsp. Salt
    2 T. coarsely chopped Fresh Rosemary

    Recipe



    Warm the milk alternative and combine with the boiling water. Let cool to approx. 105 degrees. Meanwhile, sprinkle the yeast over the 1/4 C. of hot water. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Combine milk alternative and yeast mixtures. Add the melted margarine and 1 T. sugar.

    Separately, sift together the flour, 2 tsp. sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the liquid. Stir until well-combined, but do not knead. Cover and allow to rise until doubled.

    Punch down dough, divide in half. Roll out each half into a large rectangle with the long sides facing you. Sprinkle evenly with rosemary. Starting with the far edge, roll the dough jelly-roll style into a loaf. Roll back and forth gently with hands until shaped into a long loaf. Place on a greased baking sheet and allow to rise again until about 50% greater in bulk. While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake loaves 15 minutes at 375 degrees, then reduce heat to about 350 and bake about 30 minutes longer.
    Loaves are done when tapping with your finger produces a hollow sound.

    Hint: This bread makes an outstanding French bread pizza
