Best 2 Perfect Sandwich Bread Recipes

PERFECT SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• add yeast and a pinch of sugar (to feed the yeast) to warm water, let it sit 5-10 minutes until very foamy. water should be warm, but not hot, about 110 degrees.
• put proofed yeast into a large mixing bowl. add milk, honey, oil, and salt.
• add flour, start with 3 cups. mix with a sturdy spoon until smooth.
• add in more flour, one cup at a time until it gets to hard to stir.
• turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes adding more flour as needed. dough should be smooth, elastic and not too dry, but not sticking to your hands either.
• put dough in a greased bowl and turn it over to lightly grease it. cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel (you can use a damp paper towel and towel if you don't have plastic).
• sit it in a warm place (like on top of the fridge) for 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
• cut the dough in half as equal as you can. punch dough down, getting all the air out. form into a rectangle and roll up tight, tucking in the ends. it should look like a small loaf.
• place each loaf in a greased (I use shortening) loaf pan. cover again and let rise 45 minutes until about doubled in size.
• if you choose, brush with the egg for a nice glossy look (i prefer it).
• bake at 350 for 35 minutes on the middle rack (leave room, they will rise more in the oven!).
• the bread is done when it's golden and sounds hollow when you tap on it.
• remove immediately from the pans and cool on a cooling rack so the bottoms don't get soggy (check to make sure it's done by also tapping on the bottom-it should sound hollow also).
• cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.

PERFECT SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the tin so that the yeast and salt are as far apart as possible. Adding them in the order below is best, I find.
• Water, Salt, Sugar, Butter, Flour, Yeast. Do it like this and all should be fine.
• Cook on a setting for a 900g loaf, basic white, with a light crust for easy cutting.
