  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add the remaining water, dry milk, oil, sugar, salt, and 3 cups of flour; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.

  2. 2

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place it in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface with grease. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans. Grease the tops of the loaves and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the bread from the pans and cool on wire racks. Brush with melted butter or margarine.

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.
