Time 2h5m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 ⅓ cups bread flour
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
6 eggs
3 cups warm water
1 ¼ cups milk
1 cup butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Combine bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer using the dough hook on low speed; mix in eggs until fully incorporated. Mix in warm water and milk until fully incorporated. Add butter and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Continue mixing until dough holds together. Take a piece of dough between your fingers and pull them apart. If the dough stays connected and becomes translucent, it is ready. Add milk or flour if needed to reach this consistency.
  • Allow dough to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Divide dough into 4 or 5 loaves and shape into greased loaf pans. Rise again until edges are roughly 1 inch below the top of the pan, 30 to 60 minutes. Create a 2-inch vertical slit across the top of each loaf using a knife or scissors.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), about 20 minutes.

EASY MILK BREAD

Time 3h5m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 tablespoon cornmeal
3 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Two 1/4-ounce packets instant yeast
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and sprinkle the cornmeal all over the inside of the pan. Tap out any excess.
  • Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and yeast to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set the dry mixture aside.
  • Add the milk and butter to a small saucepan and attach a candy thermometer. Turn the heat on low and bring the mixture up to 125 degrees F. If the mixture gets too hot, let it cool to the correct temperature before continuing.
  • Pour the warm liquid over the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix until the dough comes together, but is still shaggy. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until the dough is soft and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. Form the dough into a log and transfer it to the prepared loaf pan, seam-side down. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm area until it's puffed up and almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bake the loaf until the top of the bread is golden and the internal temperature is 190 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh milk and unsalted butter for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • When shaping the dough, be sure to tuck the edges underneath to create a tight loaf.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 10-15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help create a golden brown crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
