Sourdough Pull Apart Bread

Source of Recipe

from the turbo members recipe site


List of Ingredients

1 single loaf pkg. sourdough bread machine mix
1 tbsp. instant yeast
additional bread flour
water


Recipe

Mix the bread mix and yeast together and stir.
Heat 1 c. water to 120 degrees and slowly pour into the
mixture. Blend until a gooey ball forms.
Add enough additional bread flour to form a ball that
pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Shape into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
Punch down and shape into a ball.
Cut into 6 or 8 pieces and roll each into a ball.
Place the balls into the spring form pan.
(No greasing is necessary if you have the non stick pan.)
Pour 1 1/2 c. water into base and place the pan on rack.
Place rack in the base.
Cover and let rise until double in size, approximately
for approximately 1 hour.
Valve open, medium/high heat, and cook for 14 minutes.
Remove cover and add 1 1/2 c. water.
Cover, valve open, medium/high heat and cook for another
14 minutes.
Remove cover and remove pan to oven or broiler to brown
top slightly.
Open pan and let the bread cool on a wire rack.
Store in airtight container.


**Variations:
-Or use premade bread dough from the store's
frozen section. Let defrost and rise. Then just follow
TC instructions.
-Any bread recipe should work. Follow bread recipe directions
up to the punch down stage and then continue with TC instructions.
A small loaf pan may be used, but cooking times may vary. An
additional 14 minutes of cooking time and additional water may
be required.
-Divide dough into 10 or 12 balls for "dinner rolls".
-Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a rectangle. Roll up,
jelly roll style, and tuck ends under. Smooth edges. Place into
spring form pan, side by side, but slightly apart. Cook as 2 little
"pull apart" loaves.
-Brush top of bread with egg whites or butter before browning for
flavor and appearance.
Cinnamon and raisins added to a basic white bread mix would make
a moist snack bread.!
