Minnesota Wonder Bread Recipe

Directions

In a microwave oven, stir together the yeast, water and sugar. Stir in the 1/4 cup of butter, warm water, flour and the cream of tartar. The rest of the ingredients in the microwave. Position the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a large plastic bowl. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Divide dough into 3 pieces (see picture). Roll in extra flour to make a round approximately 1/2 inch thick. Bend one piece of dough at a time into a roll , continuing to do this 4 to 5 times, until uneven in thickness.

Pinch off one corner of each square loaf and pour 1 cup of water into equal amounts both ends of dough pieces, cover tightly with plastic wrap tightly, rotate dough and pat down to minimize drying out.

Shape the dough into balls by tucking each corner into the other corner of a loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center of dough comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 more minutes; drain and cool on wire racks. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), brush sides with lemon juice and sprinkle remaining L.T. on baked bolts. Serve warm.
