Homemade Bread

Scald 6 cups of milk.

Put in bosch
Milk
1 cube margarine
1/4 cup shortening
2 T dough enhancer

Mix

Add
2 large eggs

Let cool

Make 2 T yeast mixture with sugar.  When raised add to cool mixture in bosch.

Throw in small amount of flour and 1 T salt (flour is imortant because salt will kill yeast).

Add 14 cups of flour.

Then slowly add up to 2 more cups a little at a time.  When it starts to clean the side of the bowl and not super sticky on hands it's good.  It will still be slightly sticky so don't put in too much flour.

Knead for 10 minutes on speed of 1.

Put in bowl and cover.  Let it rise once and push it down.

Put in pans and let it rise again.

Cook at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Either put the oreo cookies through a food processor, or place them in a large plasic bag and using a dough roller or simular object crush your cookies very well and place them into a large bowl. You may want to do a few cookies at a time to make sure they are well crushed.

When you have all the cookies crushed and in the bowl combine in the cream cheese and mix the crushed cookies and cream cheese together very well.

Now you want to lay out a sheet of wax paper about 2 foot long.

Make balls about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter out of the cookie mixture and lay them out on the wax paper.
