Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 scant Tbs. active dry yeast, mixed with 1 Tbs. flour and 1 Tbs. sugar
2 c. warm water (about 110°)
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil or chicken fat
1/2 c. mashed potatoes or 1/4 c. instant potato flakes mixed with 1/4 c. water
2 tsp. salt
5 1/2 - 6 1/2 c. white bread flour or all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix 1 Tbs. flour, 1 Tbs. sugar, and yeast in your KitchenAid mixing bowl.
  • Add warm water. Stir, and let it rest for about 5 min.
  • Once the yeast mixture is looking creamy and bubbly, add the oil, sugar, potatoes, and salt. Stir.
  • Add 4 c. of flour and knead on low speed.
  • Continue kneading for 4 minutes on speed 2, slowly adding flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • When finished kneading, the sides of the bowl should be looking fairly clean. Drizzle a bit of oil into the side of the bowl and let the mixer spread the oil to grease the sides.
  • Lightly cover the dough with a dish towel, and let it rest to rise for about an hour.
  • Grease 2 9x5" loaf pans.

  • Place loaves into greased pans. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have risen about 1 inch above the pans.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
  • Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes, brush the tops with butter, and remove from the pans. Enjoy a delicious slice of warm fresh bread!

Tips:

  • Follow the recipe precisely: Amish White Bread relies on precise measurements and techniques to achieve its light and fluffy texture. Adhere to the recipe's instructions carefully to ensure a successful outcome.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast is essential for the bread's rise. Make sure the water temperature is lukewarm (around 110°F/43°C) to activate the yeast effectively. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate, resulting in a dense loaf.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Under-kneading will result in a dense and tough loaf.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise and double in size. Place it in a warm, draft-free area, such as a turned-off oven with a light on. The ideal temperature for rising is between 75-85°F (24-29°C).
  • Bake the bread until golden brown: Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done. Over-baking will dry out the bread.

Amish White Bread is a classic recipe that yields a soft, fluffy, and flavorful loaf of bread.
