Easy White Sandwich Bread
A super simple, easy sandwich bread recipe made mostly with a stand mixer.
Equipment
- 9x5 Loaf Pan
- Stand Mixer With dough hook attachment
- Rolling Pin
- Mixing Bowl
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup Water
- ½ Cup Milk
- 1 Tbsp Yeast
- 3 Cups Bread Flour
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Butter Softened
Instructions
- Bloom the yeast. To do this, combine the water and milk, and heat the mixture to about 104℉. Stir in the yeast, cover it, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will bubble and foam up a bit if you did it right; if not, try again, you need the yeast to make the bread.
- Combine your bread flour, salt, and sugar in your stand mixer's bowl.
- Add the yeast mixture, and mix on low using the dough hook. This will come together into a dough ball; when it does, keep mixing/kneading for 2-3 more minutes.
- Add in the butter a tablespoon at a time, letting it fully mix and knead in each time.
- Continue kneading for another minute.
- Transfer the dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover this and let rise in a warm environment for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Grease your loaf pan and set it aside.
- When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it out so it's the length of the loaf pan and about an inch thick, and as wide as it needs to be.
- Roll the dough rectangle into a tube shape and place in the loaf pan, seam side down. Cover this with a damp towel and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- Bake the bread for 45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown.
- When baked, turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Slice and enjoy!
