Classic Loaf with Fresh Yeast
Classic Loaf with Fresh Yeast bakes up tender and softly structured, with a fine crumb and mellow wheat sweetness balanced by a hint of salt. Fresh yeast gives a gentle rise and an old-fashioned bakery aroma, while sugar and shortening keep the bread plush and sliceable. Perfect for everyday sandwiches, toast at breakfast, or warm slices with butter alongside dinner.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- 2
In a very large bowl, combine hot water, white sugar, salt, and shortening. Stir until the shortening dissolves, then let cool to lukewarm. Add the yeast mixture and 6 cups of flour; beat well. Stir in the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.

Lightly oil two large bowls. Divide the dough in half and place each half in a bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 4
Deflate the dough, shape into rounds, and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape into loaves. Place the loaves in six lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
