Idiot Bread



What a silly name! Our family first had this bread when on a visit to see Aunt Marcella and Uncle Mike. Aunt Marcella prepared such a lovely dinner and served this bread. It was delicious and we all asked for more. We also asked for the name and she told us it was "Idiot Bread". We thought that was a very strange name for bread and asked her how it came by that name. She said it was so simple, even an idiot could make it! I still think it needs a new name! But the recipe needs to stay exactly the same! It is fast, easy, and delicious! 

Idiot Bread

  • 1 Tbsp. yeast
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Dissolve the yeast in the water. Add sugar, salt, and flour. Stir well. Spread into a greased, 9 x 13 in pan. Let rise for 1 hour. Pour 1/2 stick of melted butter or margarine over the top. Sprinkle with parsley, garlic powder, and Parmesean cheese. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 - 45 minutes (until golden brown).

Flavorful, quick and easy, and delicious with so many things!

  2. OK, I have *never* successfully made a yeast bread, so I shall try this ... and if it doesn't work for me, I'll probably be too ashamed to tell you! :)

  5. I agree with Angela, I am not successful with yeast breads. This one does sound good and how wonderful it would be to have fresh bread from the oven. I can almost smell it.
