Your Easy and Delicious Bread Recipe!!!



 
Life Skills BASIC BREAD RECIPE

Makes 2 loaves (

Alert!!! This recipe takes about 3 @ hours to make.)
q
2 cups warm water
q
$ cup sugar
q
1 packet Red Star Active Dry Yeast
q
2 cups King Arthur 100% Organic White Whole Wheat Flour
q
1 tablespoon salt
q
$ cup vegetable oil
q
4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, yeast, and 2 cups King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour. Cover mixture with a clean towel and let stand 10 minutes until bubbly.

Stir in salt and vegetable oil.

Stir in King Arthur All-Purpose Flour, 1 cup at a time. When the dough holds together and most of the flour is mixed in, plop dough out onto a clean, floured surface.

Knead the dough. Sprinkle your hands or the work surface with just enough flour to prevent sticking. Use your dough scraper, too. After 5 minutes, take a break and let the dough rest.

Scrape out the mixing bowl, and smear a little oil all around the inside.

Knead the dough for a few more minutes. (When you lightly press the dough with your fingertips, it should bounce right back.) Put the dough into the oiled bowl, flip the dough once, and cover with plastic wrap and a clean towel. Put the dough in a warm place to rise until double in size, about 1

@ hours.

Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough in half and form into desired shapes.

Grease a baking sheet; put your loaves on it. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and a clean towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Carefully remove plastic wrap and slash the tops of the loaves or baguettes with a sharp knife. Bake the loaves for about 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool the bread on a rack. Enjoy!

Most grades of polyethylene added $0.01/lb, on the spot market, some more, while spot polypropylene tacked on another $0.03/lb, as January came to a close and February began. Spot-trading platform, The Plastics Exchange (TPE) said resin offers slowed and prices moved higher last week as buyers actively sought well-priced material ahead of February increases. By the middle of last week, offers for unsold railcars were generally pulled back and later replaced with higher priced material for February shipment, according to TPE CEO Michael Greenberg. Producers implemented January price increases, with contracts moving $0.05/lb higher while PP shot up $0.15/lb. Greenberg said that tight monomer supplies have producers pushing for even more in February: PE is nominated to climb another $0.04/lb, while PP could rise as much as $0.09/lb.TPE resin prices, Feb. 1, 2013
Energy markets moved in opposite directions. March crude oil futures resumed their rally, reaching above $98/bbl before slipping back and ending the week at $97.77/bbl, a gain of $1.89/bbl. Natural gas futures continued lower, falling $0.162/mmBtu, almost 5%, to settle at $3.301/mmBtu last Friday. The crude oil: natural gas ratio shot out to almost 30:1, the widest gap since September.
Ethylene spot transactions were plentiful last week and the market actually gave back some gains for a change. Another cracker returned to production, but several remain offline for maintenance. February ethylene stepped lower in a series of trades, with most changing hands at $0.64/lb, down almost $0.03/lb. The drop in prices flattened the forward curve a bit; $0.005/lb discounts begin in March and accelerate starting in June until a $0.09/lb break is priced into the market for December. Ethane jumped a couple cents to around $0.26/gal ($0.11/lb).
Polyethylene's (PE) spot market moved higher, as most grades added $0.01/lb, some more. HDPE injection remains scarce and there was also particular strength in Prime LDPE film where premiums have expanded. Producers are looking to add to their $0.05/lb January contract gains with a $0.04/lb increase on the table for February. "To keep upward pressure on the market," Greenberg said, "some producers have issued another $0.04/lb for March." Houston traders have plenty of material on hand since rising U.S. prices have dried up the export market for now. "Incremental export demand could return after the Chinese New Year next weekend," Greenberg said, adding that "rising crude oil prices are also buoying international PE prices."
Propylene's spot market "breathed a little as January came to a close", according to TPE. That respite came after a swift and steep rally in which prices rose almost $0.20/lb since mid-December. Several spot transactions were reported and by the time the week drew to a close, February polymer grade propylene (PGP) had slid $0.02/lb to $0.755/lb. While it was not a huge decline, it came at an important time as contract discussions heat up. February nominations were revised up from $0.07/lb to $0.09/lb, but perhaps the recent weakness will soften the ultimate blow. The forward curve is backwardated but flattened a couple cents through December, where a $0.065/lb discount is priced from prompt levels.
Polypropylene (PP) added another $0.03/lb last week, bringing January gains to $0.13/lb. The market then moved a penny higher on Friday. "Up, up and away," Greenberg noted. "You'd have to be a Superman to withstand this rally and the end is not in sight." Spot PP prices have now eclipsed their previous 52 week high of $0.82/lb by a couple cents and are poised to move even higher as the contract market will tack on another increase in February. Current nominations are for as much as $0.09/lb, after January contracts rocketed up $0.15/lb. "Processors that weren't believers in early January," Greenberg said, "were buyers late in the month trying to get ahead of the next increase."
