Best White Bread... so far

So far we have tried a couple of different breads in our household. Some have been good, some have been ok, and some have been awful. But few have been amazing. So here we go again, trying another recipe for white bread. This is actually Chef Blackheart's second time to make this bread. This is to prove that we can consistently make this beautiful and tasty bread.

White Bread 101:

What you'll need

Ingredients:

3 cups unbleached all- purpose bread
2 tsp instant yeast
1 1/4 tsp salt
3 tsp sugar
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup non fat dry milk
1/4 cup potato flour
1 1/8 lukewarm water

Items you'll need:

kneading surface
a bowl with a towel
8 1/2"X 4 1/2" bread pan

First of all make bread with love!!!

Combine all the dry ingredients except sugar in a bowl

Warm the water, butter and sugar in a pan

Mix the two separate mixtures together as best as you can

Take the total mixture and knead on a pre-floured board (We use a cutting board with a wet towel underneath it.)

Knead it until it is fully mixed (about 9 minutes)

Place in a greased bowl and cover with a clean towel. Let the dough rise for at least an hour.

Shape the dough into a log and place into the bread pan
Let it rise for another hour (About 1" above the bread pan)

Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes

Cover with foil if the loaf is getting too brown 10 minutes before it's done baking. Also, rotate the pan in the oven for even heating

Remove the bread from the oven. Remove the loaf from the bread pan onto wire rack
Thump the bottom of the loaf, it should sound hollow, If not place it back in the oven for 2 more minutes. (No need to use the pan)

Enjoy your bread!
