Time 3h5m

Yield 1 loaf, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4-1 1/3 cups water
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry milk
17 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast

Steps:

  • Put everything in the bread maker in the above order. I choose the dough setting, as I don't like to bake my bread in it. Let rise until doubled, it may take longer than the time allotted by the machine. Remove, form, put in a 9x5' bread pan. Cover with a damp towel or oiled cling wrap and let rise until it is an in to an inch and a half over the rim of the pan, about an hour.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through for even browning. Remove, turn out, let cool completely on a wire rack and offer to a friend.
  • One footnote; I like to use hi-maize natural fiber as part of the flour, 1/3 cup, it makes white bread healthier, and you don't even know it is there!

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3-1 1/2 cups water, depending on the time of year (more in the winter, less in the summer)
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/3 cup Baker's Special Dry Milk or 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2-2 teaspoons salt (best the lesser amount, but Dad preferred the greater)
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • This bread may be prepared and baked right in the machine (1 1/2-pound or larger models), or prepared in the machine, then removed, shaped, given a final rise and baked in a conventional oven. Either way, it's a good, down-to-earth white sandwich bread.
  • Place the ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, and program the machine for white or basic bread, or for the dough cycle. Press Start.
  • If you're using the dough cycle, after the cycle is complete, allow the dough to continue to rise in the machine until it has really doubled in bulk. Remove the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Let it rise until almost doubled. Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool and offer to a friend.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups warm water
3 tablespoons active dry yeast
3 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup white sugar
8 cups bread flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size.
  • Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the yeast. Old yeast can result in bread that doesn't rise properly.
  • Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, before adding the yeast. Hot water can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dense.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to retain its moisture and flavor.
