Easy Lazy Woman Bread recipe
For this bread recipe, you will need a 10qt/2.5 gal food safe container with a lid to store your bread dough in or you can half the recipe and use a smaller container.
Bread Ingredients Needed to Make Lazy Woman Bread Recipe
- 6 cups warm water
- 1/2 c oil
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1/4c yeast
- 1/4 c powdered milk
- 6-8c white flour
- 4-6c fun grains (rye, potato flakes, oatmeal, flaxseed, red wheat, graham, whatever)

Directions to make Lazy Woman Homemade bread
Step 1
In the order listed above, mix with a dough hook in a large mixing bowl. Mix ingredients well. The dough will look wet compared to traditional bread dough at this stage.
Step 2
Dump the mixture into a 10q food safe tub and cover.
Step 3
Let the bread dough sit on the counter for an hour or two until it rises nearly to the lid.
Step 4
Then refrigerate.
Step 5
Take dough out as needed to bake. The dough will keep for over a week in the refrigerator.
Step 6
I usually let the bread sit for about twenty minutes before baking to reactivate the yeast and that will give you the time to pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 7
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the bread looks golden.
Also, for a crusty taste, bake it simultaneously with a pot of water in the oven.
