EASY WHITE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Add the water, yeast and honey to the bowl of your stand mixer and mix with a fork just until the yeast is moistened and the honey is dissolved.
• Let sit for about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the flour to the bowl of the stand mixer on top of the water and yeast mixture and then add the salt.
• Turn the mixer on low speed and mix until a soft dough forms.
• Continue mixing on medium-low speed and let the mixer knead the dough for about 4 minutes. The dough should have formed a soft ball and the sides of the bow should be clean. Only if the dough is too wet and sticking to the side of the bowl, add a tablespoon or two more flour as it kneads.
• Shape the dough with your hands into a ball and place it back into the bowl (oil the bowl, if you wish). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 60 minutes in a warm, draft-free place.
• Grease 2 loaf pans with butter or a high-quality non-stick baking spray.
• After the dough rises, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured work surface and divide it in half.
• Roll each piece of dough into a ball with your hands, eventually shaping it into an oblong round shape.
• Place each piece of dough into one of the greased loaf pans and cover the pans with a clean kitchen towel.
• Let them rise again in a warm, draft-free place for about 20 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash (if using).
• Brush the egg wash over the tops of the loaves and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25-35 minutes until the tops of the loaves are a deep golden brown colour.
• After baking, remove from the pans and place the loaves on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Slice after the loaves have cooled completely to room temperature and use to make your favourite sandwiches or serve alongside soups or stews.

WHITE SANDWICH BREAD RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• In a bowl, add the water, yeast and teaspoon of sugar. Stir to combine and leave at room temperature for about 5 to10 minutes until doubled in volume. In a mixing bowl sift the 3 cups of flour and make a well in the middle. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour well. Add the egg, sugar, salt and melted butter. With the dough hook on, start mixing adding the milk, and slowly adding the remaining flour until the dough forms a soft and elastic ball. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for about 1 hour or until doubled in volume. When the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a log. Place it into a 9X5-inch greased baking pan, cover and let rest again at room temperature for another 30 minutes. In the meantime, heat the oven to 375°F. Bake the bread for about 30 minutes until golden brown and the smell of fresh bread takes over your kitchen. Leave to cool slightly in the pan before removing it and completely before slicing it.

CLASSIC WHITE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine water and 1/4 cup of the warm milk. Sprinkle yeast and pinch of sugar over liquid and stir. Let sit until foamy, about 10 minute.
• Combine remaining milk, butter and 2 tbs sugar, salt and 2 cups flour in large bowl and mix until creamy. I mix everything by hand but you can use a mixer on med-low for about 1 minute.
• Add yeast mixture and one cup of flour and mix by hand or beat with mixer.
• Mix or beat in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough pulls away then switch to kneading until all the flour is mixed in, until smooth and elastic.
• Transfer the dough to an oiled deep bowl and turn the dough once to coat it.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
• Lightly grease two 9X5 loaf pans.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and divide in half.
• Pat each half into a long rectangle.
• Fold one rectangle like a letter, overlapping the short sides into the middle. Press to flatten.
• Beginning at the narrow end, roll the dough into a log and roll the log until it is the same length as the loaf pan.
• Pinch the ends and along the seam to seal and place in loaf pan seam side down.
• Repeat folding with other half of dough.
• Cover loosely with plastic and let rise until dough is about 1 inch above pan about 1 hour.
• Bake in oven preheated to 375 degrees F until loaves are golden brown and pull away from the edge of the pans, about 40 minutes.
• Turn onto racks and let cool completely.

WHITE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the yeast and 2 cups warm water in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the butter, sugar and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in one-third of the flour until smooth. Add another third of the flour and stir, then turn it out onto a floured board to knead. Knead it over 15 minutes, adding the rest of the flour as you knead. Don't let it get dry too fast; it should stay sticky. Put the dough in a buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour.
• Knead the dough another 5 minutes, place it back in the bowl and let it rise another hour.
• Butter 2 loaf pans. Shape the dough into 2 loaves and transfer them to the prepared pans. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the loaves until golden brown on top and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.
