BEST WHITE BREAD (ABM)

The base for this recipe was originally from Allrecipes but I've changed the recipe to suit my breadmaker and taste. When I made my first loaf of this I couldn't believe I had made something that looked and tasted like a commercially produced loaf. NOTE: My ABM is older and takes 2 1/2 hours to do a dough cycle. The times include rising time also.

Time 4h20m

Yield 1 medium loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 teaspoons yeast (bread machine yeast)
3 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons gluten flour
1 1/3 teaspoons salt
1 1/3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/3 cups water (luke warm)

Steps:

  • Place the ingredients into your ABM in the order specified for your machine. Set it on the dough cycle.
  • When the dough cycle has beeped, LEAVE the dough in the machine for another 30 minutes. It will continue to rise again.
  • Preheat your oven to 190°C Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan with butter.
  • Tip out your dough onto a lightly floured work area and roll into a long rectangle, making sure the width is no wider than 9 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. It doesn't matter about the length. You will hear all the air bubbles popping as you roll.
  • Once the air bubbles are gone, roll up, starting from one of the short ends. You may want to moisten the end of the dough to help seal it together.
  • Place roll of dough, seam side down, tucking ends under, in your loaf pan.
  • Leave to rise until doubled in size, approximately 30-40mins. Brush with melted butter.
  • Bake 190C for 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped with the handle of a knife.
  • While loaf is hot brush with melted butter.
  • Remove loaf from pan onto a cooling rack.

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 c warm water
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
3 tsp butter, softened
1/2 c cream
3 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl, add the warm water. Slowly stir in dry yeast. Continue to stir until yeast is dissolved. Add salt, sugar, butter, and cream to bowl. Stir. Mix in the first 2 cups of flour. If needed, begin adding more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough chases the spoon around the bowl. You do not need to use up all the flour called for in this recipe, or you may need more flour than called for. The amounts vary depending on many factors, including weather, which is why most bread recipes only give an approximate amount of flour needed. Turn dough out onto floured board and knead, adding small spoonfuls of flour as needed, until the dough is soft and smooth, not sticky to the touch. Put dough in buttered bowl, turn dough over so that the top of dough is greased. Cover and let rise in warm spot for 1 hour. Punch down dough. Turn out onto floured board and knead. Preheat oven at 375 degrees F.
  • 2. Form dough into loaf and set in buttered bread pan. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes. Score dough by cutting three slashes across the top with a sharp knife. Put in oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Turn out bread and let cool on a rack or clean dishtowel.

Tips for Making the Best White Bread:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste and texture of your bread. Use bread flour, which has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, resulting in a chewier crumb. Active dry yeast ensures that your bread will rise properly. Fresh milk, butter, and eggs add richness and flavor.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives bread its structure and elasticity. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75°F and 85°F. You can place the dough in a warm oven, or in a warm spot in your kitchen. Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before putting the bread in. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Cool the bread before slicing: Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

With the right ingredients, techniques, and a little patience, you can make delicious white bread at home. Experiment with different recipes and find the one that you like best. Enjoy your freshly baked bread with your favorite toppings, or use it to make sandwiches, toast, or croutons. Homemade white bread is a versatile and satisfying addition to any meal.
