Jack Astors Pan Bread - Canada

My Husb.. worked in Canada for about two years,, he keeps talking about this bread, we had it, it was great...

Here is the recipe I use for pan bread... from what I can tell about "Jack Astors Pan Bread" it sounds similar, but I put more spices... you could omit the spices and oil and substitute it with melted butter and crushed garlic and it would be similar... good luck and enjoy!!




2 c Warm water
1 tb Dry yeast
3 tb Sugar
6 c To 7 c all purpose flour
1 tb Salt
1/2 c Olive oil
1 tb Dry italian seasonings
2 tb Minced fresh garlic
1/4 c Chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tb Chopped fresh oregano




Combine the water, yeast, sugar, and approximately 2 cups of the
flour to make a thick paste. Mix thoroughly and let stand a few
minutes until bubbles rise to the surface.

Combine the salt with the remaining flour; add gradually to the yeast
mixture, until it will absorb no more flour. Knead the dough until
the texture is smooth and not sticky to the touch; about 5 to 10
minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and let it rise in a warm
place until it has doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, place on a
lightly floured surface, and knead for another minute. Let dough rest
for 5 to 10 minutes.

Brush a 9 x 13 inch sheet pan with 1/3 of the olive oil. Sprinkle the
pan with 1/2 tablespoon of the dry Italian seasonings and 1
tablespoon of garlic. Roll the bread dough out to line the pan.

Lay the dough into the pan, brush with the remaining olive oil,
sprinkle with the remaining garlic and Italian seasonings, and then
the fresh herbs. (At this point the bread may be prepared a day ahead
and kept in the refrigerator, on the prepared pan, to rise.)

Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake in a
preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden
brown.

Serves 8 to 12.
