I got roped into making 30 sandwiches for a Posada (Christmas
Party). And I dreaded making all those little sandwiches. Then I
came up with a brilliant idea, make 2 giant sandwiches and then cut
them at the party. So I took this recipe that I like for rolls and
made 2 big flat loafs of bread, split it down the length, put the
mustard, mayo and meat on and bingo ready to go. It looked really
neat too, I have some special plates I made for 9x13 cakes (cut some
wood and painted it). Save this in case you ever have to make
sandwiches for a large group.
2 Tbsp instant yeast
1/4 cup warm water, 110 F
1 1/2 cup buttermilk, heated to lukewarm
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp salt
4 1/2 cup enriched all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
Dissolve yeast in warm water in small bowl. In a medium bowl,
combine buttermilk, sugar, melted butter and salt. Sift flour and
soda into a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture into buttermilk mixture,
then add to flour. Mix well. Let stand 10 minutes.
I have a heavy duty ABM that takes 4 cups of flour with no problem
and I use it to knead/mix the dough, I just dump everything in and
push the button).
Grease well two 9x13 pans. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and put
one in each pan, spread evenly. Let stand 30 minutes, or until risen
nicely. Bake 30 minutes at 400 F or until golden brown.
