I baked 2 buttermilk bread. The one on the left I used regular yeast...nicest looking bread I’ve made yet. The one on the right I used quick rise. Both taste great. Both boys requested this bread as they really like it. Never thought I’d see the day they asked for homemade bread. I also did chocolate chip banana bread and pumpkin bread. Great day for baking as it’s cold out and it helps warm the house.

Thanks Debby! No, I only had 1 quick rise so I had to use 1 of each. I can’t say the quick rise is much quicker.

There is a way you can make bread quickly. It involves using liquid lecithin and rapid rise yeast. The loaf is out in an hour.

I prefer making the bread with regular yeast and time though. The bread tastes better to me that way

I did find this one hour recipe:

One Hour Bread

The easiest white bread recipe! Lately I make it more than any other bread or roll recipe, it's so fast and so delicious! Plus, I love to save the second loaf for French toast the next day.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 2 small loaves
Ingredients

• 5 1/2 cups (780g) bread flour (I recommend using King Arthur), then more as needed
• 3 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 Tbsp rapid rise yeast
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2/3 cup milk
• 3 Tbsp butter, diced into 1 Tbsp pieces
• 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Meanwhile preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a bowl or in a large liquid measuring cup combine water, milk and butter. Heat in microwave until it reaches 120 - 130 on an instant read thermometer, about 1 - 2 minutes (it's okay if butter doesn't fully melt).
3. Meanwhile add 5 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast to the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix for about 10 seconds to blend.
4. Pour warmed water mixture into flour mixture then pour in lemon juice. Mix on a fairly low speed for 1 minute.
5. Scrape dough from paddle and switch to hook attachment, scrape sides of bowl. Set to a fairly low speed and let knead 4 minutes, while adding a little more flour if needed until dough consistency isn't sticky (it can stick to the bottom of bowl but shouldn't stick to the sides).
6. Meanwhile spray two 8 by 4-inch or 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.
7. Divide dough into two equal portions, and shape into logs each 8-inches long. Transfer to prepared loaf pans.
8. Cover loaves with a large container such as a cake carrier or spray a sheet of plastic wrap with non-stick cooking spray and drape over loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in volume, about 25 minutes.
9. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top and hollow when tapped, about 22 - 25 minutes. Invert loaves onto wire racks to cool.

Thank you! It is very good! I combined 2 recipes. I’m in the semi with hubby right now but will post later.
