Simple White Bread





We like homemade bread for breakfast....or anytime.......








A very simple recipe:


2 cups warm water


2 packets active yeast


5 cups of King Arthur's Artisan Bread Flour


1 tablespoon sugar


1 teaspoon table salt





Proof the yeast in the water and sugar for ten minutes





Mix two cups of flour with the salt in the bowl with the flat beater, add the two cups of water/yeast/sugar mix all at once





once well blended stop, remove the flat beater, replace with the dough hook. Add the remaining cups of flour one at a time until well incorporated. Add the last cup a bit at a time until the dough is slightly sticky and is cleaning the sides of the bowl.





Rise until double





Punch down





Form in to equal round loaves on a floured surface so that the dough is lightly covered with flour.





Rise on a floured surface covered with a cloth until just doubled in size





Cut a deep X in the top of each loaf.





Bake in a 500 degree oven for 30 minutes or until well browned.





Allow to cool.





Happiness is Fresh baked bread, aged wine, soft cheese and firm friends.

White Sandwich Bread





I made this yesterday and it is wonderful. I doubled the recipe and I


did


the mixing in my mixer with a dough hook. I had to use probably an


extra 1


1/2 cups flour while mixing it and probably an extra 3/4 cup while


kneading


it to get the dough right, but it made two large loaves and it was


nice and


crusty outside and has a finer texture inside that lot's of homemade


bread


Try it you will love it!





White Sandwich Bread





Years ago, most women rolled up their sleeves once or twice a week and


kneaded loaves of bread to feed their families. They had no bread


machines-just powerful arms. It was a relief when white breads started


flooding supermarket shelves in the 1930s, but there's no comparison


between


this soft, fresh loaf and the mass-produced variery. MAKES 1





2 1/4 teaspoons (one 1/4-ounce package) active dry yeast 1 1/2 -2


Tbsp fresh yeast


1/4 cup warm water


1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature or sour milk


3 tablespoons sugar


1/2 tablespoon salt


6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, softened or yellow crisco


3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed about 5 cups





1. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and set aside for about 5


minutes,


until bubbly.





2. Meanwhile, combine the buttermilk, sugar, salt, and 3 tablespoons


of


butter in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture. Beat in 3 1/4 cups


of


flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from


the bowl.


I let the mixer knead the dough.about 5 mins on low.





3. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead in the remaining


1/4 cup


flour. Continue to knead for 5 to 7 minutes, until smooth and elastic,


adding more flour if necessary until the dough is no longer sticky.


Transfer


to a greased large bowl, turn to coat, cover with plastic wrap or


clean


cloth, and set aside In a draft-free place to rise until doubled in


size, 1


to 1 1/2 hours.





4路 Punch the dough down. Let rest for a few min颅utes.





5路 Return the dough to a floured surface. Form the dough into a


rectangle,


roll it up, and pinch the ends and seam to seal. Place the roll, seam


side


down, in a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Flatten the dough in the pan


to fill


it evenly. Cover again and set aside at room temperature to rise


until the


dough reaches the top of the pan, 45 to 60 minutes.





6. Preheat the oven to 375掳F.





7路 Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Uncover and cut a 1/2-


inch-deep


slash down the center of the risen loaf with the tip of a knife.


Brush the


melted butter into the crevice and over the top.





8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until deep golden brown or until the


loaf


sounds hollow when you tap it.





9. Remove the loaf from the pan and coolon a wire rack before


slicing. Serve


warm or cooled completely.Favorite yeast bread recipes???? Links please?
I use this site all the time. So far I've had really good luck with each of the recipes I've tried, aand there are ratings for each one. This recipe is almost exactly like the one I use at home.
