BREAD MACHINE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into the pan of a 1 ½ to 2 pound bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select the program for basic white bread. Press Start.
• When the baking completes, remove the pan from the machine. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan, sometimes this requires a shake to get the bread out of the pan. Set the loaf on a wire rack to cool.
• Store, in a bread box, bread bag or well wrapped on the counter for 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

LIGHT BREAD MACHINE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Heat water to 120 degrees. I use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Do not guess at the temperature of your water. Too hot or too cold makes a difference.
• Add sugar to water and stir until dissolved. (Note: If you do not dissolve the sugar, you will not get the same result.).
• Add 2 packages of RAPID RISE yeast to the water. (Note: regular yeast will not give you the same result.).
• Let mixture sit for 10 minutes. That seems to be the best amount of time. Anything more than 20 minutes seems to have a negative effect on the results. If you skip this step you won't get the fluffiness you're looking for. This should be in ADDITION to your bread machine rise.
• Spray bread machine pan with non-stick spray.
• Pour yeast mixture into pan. (My bread machine directions say always pour dry ingredients in first, but this works for me).
• Add oil. (I've tried this recipe with 4T of oil and no butter and 4T of butter and no oil, but did not get the same result.).
• Add melted butter. Salted or unsalted butter doesn't seem to make a difference. If I use unsalted butter, I up the salt to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
• Add flour.
• Add beaten egg.
• Add salt.
• Select medium crust, white bread and 2-pound loaf cycle.
• Remove the bread from the bread pan after the cycle has finished and place on a rack so the bottom doesn't get soggy. Try to resist taking that first slice while it's still warm. Sometimes I do -- sometimes I don't. :-) Lasts about 2 weeks in a refrigerator. Lasts about 3 days if kept out.
• You can take this basic recipe and add whatever spices you enjoy. I've used garlic, oregano, basil, etc. I haven't tried cheese yet, but if someone out there does would love to know how it turns out!
