I love bread! Well really, I love all carbs in general (the no carb diet really isn’t for me) of all the carbs though, the one I love the most, is bread! Not store bought sandwich bread. That’s not the kind of bread I’m talking about. I’m talking about fresh out of the oven, light and fluffy, butter-melts-the-instant-it-touches-it bread. The kind that you can just tear a big chunk off of and eat it just as it is. That is the type of bread I’m talking about.

There’s really nothing better than homemade bread. Here’s the deal though, homemade bread, is a lot of work, like a lot. And if you’re like me, finding time to bake bread, is nearly impossible. But, what if I told you, I have a recipe that’s super efficient, and delivers delicious bread. Yes friends, I have that recipe. This is a family recipe, and it is the best, easiest, and most delicious bread ever — we call it Sa’ids bread which in Egyptian means Happy. I think it’s a fitting name because this bread makes me very happy!

The other wonderful thing about this bread is how low maintenance it is. Normal homemade bread recipes require you to knead the bread, which isn’t a problem when you have time, but if you’re in a rush… ain’t nobody go time for that. That’s why this Sa’ids bread is so fabulous! No kneading! You proof your yeast (this just means you check to make sure it works — I’ll explain it more in the instructions) then mix all your ingredients together, let the dough rise and bake! Easy peasy delicious bread!

Sa’ids bread is a delicious addition to dinner, or a great snack all on it’s own. This is the bread I just tear a big chunk off of and eat all by itself!

How to make Sa’ids Bread

To proof your yeast: Pour a cup and a half of warm water into a mixing bowl. **This is important: make sure you don’t get the water too hot, otherwise it will kill the yeast.**

2. Add in one tablespoon of sugar and then your tablespoon of yeast. Give it a quick stir just enough to get all your yeast wet.

3. Your yeast should start to activate pretty quickly. It will start to get bubbly and foamy, very similar to the look of sea foam. Once your yeast starts to foam, you’re good to move on to the next part.

4. Then add in your salt, oil, and flour. Stir it together so that your dough becomes a sticky.

5. Then start to preheat your oven for one minute. Once the minute is up, turn it off. (This creates a warm place for your dough to rise, without it being too hot that it kills the yeast.)

6. Place your dough onto a cookie sheet, and shape it into a ball. Place your dough into the warm oven and let rise for one hour. Then take your dough out of the oven.

7. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. When the oven has reached for 450. Place your dough in the oven and let it bake for 20 minutes or until the top of your bread is golden brown.

9. Remove it from the oven and let it cool 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. When you’re ready, slice it, spread on a little butter, and enjoy!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Warm Water
1 1/2 Tbsps Sugar
1 Tbsp Yeast
1 Tbsp Oil
2 tsps Salt
3 cups Flour

Instructions

Pour 1 1/2 cups of warm water into a mixing bowl. Then stir in the sugar and one tablespoon of yeast. Give it a quick stir, to cover all the yeast with water.
Let your yeast sit long enough for it to proof — your yeast should start to bubble. (It looks a bit like sea foam.) Once your yeast starts to bubble, you can move on to the next step!
Next, add in your salt, oil, and flour. Mix it all together so that your dough becomes a sticky ball.
Preheat your oven for one minute, then turn it off. This creates a warm place for your dough to rise. (You only want to preheat it for a minute though, so the oven doesn't get too hot, because then it will kill your yeast.)
Put your dough onto a cookie sheet and form it into a ball. Place your dough in the warm oven and let it rise for one hour. Then take your dough out of the oven.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the oven has reached 450 degrees, place your bread in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the top of your bread is golden brown.
Then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack. Serve immediately or save for later!

Notes

Proofing your yeast: You want to proof your yeast before you add the other ingredients, to make sure that it works. The best way to do this, is to add the sugar to the warm water, then add the yeast and give it a quick stir, just to make sure all the yeast is wet. Then let it sit. It should start to foam pretty quickly. When it turns foamy, that’s how you know it’s good to go!

Letting your dough rise: Your dough needs to rise prior to baking, in order to get a light and airy bread. You can let it sit on the counter for an hour or to speed the process up, turn your oven on and preheat it for 1 minute. Then turn it off. This creates a warm place for your dough to rise, without being so warm that it kills the yeast. Place your dough in the oven for one hour and let it rise.
