You can say goodbye to buying bread at the store these days. I’m going to show you how to make Homemade White Bread in no time!
Ingredients
- 5 to 6 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
-
In a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
-
Combine water, milk, and butter. Microwave to 120 degrees. Pour into flour mixture and beat just until combined. Change the mixer attachment to the kneading hook.
-
Add 2 cups of flour and mix on medium until the flour is combined into the dough.
-
Continue adding flour a spoonful at a time until the dough forms a ball and no longer sticks to the side.
-
Continue mixing with the kneading hook for 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and cover with a clean towel. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
-
Punch dough down and place on lightly floured pastry board. Using a rolling pin, shape dough into a rectangle. Starting on the longest side, roll dough up (like a jelly roll) and tuck the ends under the loaf. Place in loaf pan/s with the seam side down. Cover and allow to rise for 45 to 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
-
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
-
For the 9×5 pans, bake for about 20 to 30 minutes. For the jumbo (16×4) pan, bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until done.
-
Allow the bread to cool in the pan/s for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
