Ingredients for 90 Minute Bread

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Hot Water
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

How to Make 90 Minute Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter (and shortening, if using), salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf, rolls, breadsticks, or your desired shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Let the shaped dough rise for another 20-30 minutes, until almost doubled.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
