White Sandwich Bread

Course Breakfast
Servings 2 Loaves

Ingredients

  • 4.5 Cups All-Purpose Flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 2 1/4 Teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Warm Milk
  • 1 Cup Warm Water
  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted butter (plus more for brushing)
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Proof Yeast: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water (not hot, warm enough that you can touch) and set aside for about 5 minutes, you'll notice it has foamed up.

  2. Add warm butter, milk, sugar, and salt. Whisk and add to the yeast. You can use a stand mixer or hand and mix flour about 1/3 at a time, continue to mix. It should be sticky.  But if you need to add more flour please do depending on the humidity in your kitchen

  3. If you use hand transfer to a floured surface and knead the dough on it for about 15 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. If you're using a mixer knead for about 8-10minutes, and form the dough into a ball.

  4. Grease a bowl and transfer the dough ball, cover and keep in a warm place to rise(double), it takes about one hour or more. TIP: I usually warm my oven ahead to make the process faster.
