A delicious bread with a very light center with crunchy crust. You may substitute butter or vegetable oil for the lard if you wish.

Time 2h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 tablespoons lard, softened
1 tablespoon salt
6 ½ cups bread flour

Steps:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir in lard, salt and two cups of the flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

CHEF JOHN'S WHITE BREAD

Chef John's White Bread image

I mostly eat whole grain breads but occasionally will indulge in some white, which if we're being honest, really is a more special bread-eating experience, especially for sandwiches. The buttery, slightly sweet, but mostly neutral flavor of white bread really lets the main ingredients shine. So, whether you're a nostalgic baby boomer like me, or just a curious millennial 'wondering' what a classic white bread tastes like, I really do hope you give this a try soon.

Time 4h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups whole milk, warmed
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons melted butter, divided

Steps:

Pour warm milk into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle yeast on top and let dissolve until a few small bubbles begin to a form, 10 to 15 minutes. Add beaten egg, sugar, vinegar, baking soda, salt, cayenne, flour, and butter.
Knead on low speed until dough begins to come together. Increase speed slightly and knead about 3 minutes more. Use a spatula to scrape the sides clean and gather the dough into the center. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Butter a spatula and a loaf pan. Scrape the dough into the pan using the spatula. Smooth out the top to distribute dough evenly. Dust the top with flour and press gently to even out the dough. Let rise in pan for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Use a sharp knife or razor to cut a deep slash lengthwise through the center of the loaf. You may need to go over it several times. Brush the top with most of the melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Brush hot loaf with remaining butter. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

CHUCK HUGHES' NO KNEAD BREAD

From the TV series "Chuck's Day Off", this bread is easy to prepare and the end product is delicious. I made both loaves sprinkled with Montreal steak spice before baking but you can make a sweet version by sprinkling with raw sugar or do one of each.

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 cups warm water (body temperature)
1 tablespoon dry active yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 cups bread flour
2 1/2-3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon steak spice (for savoury version)
1 tablespoon raw sugar (for sweet version)

Steps:

Mix together in a large bread-making bowl the water, yeast and sugar.
Allow this mixture to bubble and foam, then add the oil and vinegar.
Add the bread flour cup by cup, stirring well after each addition.
Then add the salt and the whole wheat flour, cup by cup, stirring well after each addition. The dough will be a bit wet and spongy.
Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
Using a big spoon, spoon the dough into 2 well-greased loaf pans. If necessary, press the sides down, helping to create the perfect loaf shape.
With a knife, make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow incisions in the loaves.
Sprinkle with either the steak spice or raw sugar, depending upon whether you want sweet or savoury.
Bake the loaves about 50 minutes at 375 degrees F or until they are golden brown and crusty on top and sound hollow when tapped on the underside.
Let cool at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
