Ziptop Bread in a Bag

Ziptop Bread in a Bag gives you an easy way to knead bread and get it ready for the oven. Combine your ingredients together in a large plastic bag with a zip lock top. Mix them together in the bag adding more flour until the dough does not stick to the sides. You'll then be able to easily pour it out and knead it further. You can decide whether to shape your dough into dinner rolls or a loaf -- whichever best fits your needs. Both will bake at similar times (the loaf a little longer), until they come out of the oven, golden brown on top. Please note that the use of bread flour in this recipe is formulated to have a higher gluten content and will make better bread; all purpose flour will work but bread flour is the better choice. Further, rapid rise or instant yeast works quicker, and is important to use in this method of mixing and rising.
