Quick Casserole Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
1 packet rapid rise yeast
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
Combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, or you can use a hand mixer with the dough hook attachments. Regular hand mixer attachments work too, you will just have to knead the dough a little by hand to get the round shape. 😁👍
Attach dough hook.
Mix for 1 minute on low.
Add the milk and oil, mix for 5 minutes on low.
Spray a 1 1/2 qt casserole dish with cooking spray.
Shape dough to get the top smooth and place in prepared casserole dish.

When dough has risen bake for 25-30 minutes, until bread is cooked through.
