My Everyday Bread image

I really enjoy baking - nothing smells like fresh homemade bread baking in the oven. I have worked on this recipe for a few years and finally have one that works the way I like it to. I love the texture and flavor. I combine bread flour and white wheat flour. I also add more sugar than normal - it's not a "sweet" bread like...

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c whole milk
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter
1 c white wheat flour
4-5 c bread flour
1 tablespoons + 1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

Steps:

  • 1. In a small sauce pan on low heat add milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until butter has melted. Turn off heat.
  • 2. In your mixer add white wheat flour, 3 cups bread flour, and yeast. Stir until combined.
  • 3. In a microwave safe bowl heat 1 1/2c water for 20 seconds.
  • 4. Add milk, and warm water to flour mixture. Mix on low with dough hook until combined.
  • 5. Add flour 1/4 cup at a time until it pulls away from sides of bowl. Turn off mixer and put dough back into bowl.
  • 6. Turn back on and mix until dough is smooth and elastic about 5 more minutes.
  • 7. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and toss dough ball until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place to rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled.
  • 8. Punch dough down. Separate in half.
  • 9. Roll half of dough to 15" x 11" rectangle. I just use a large cutting board and roll it to edges.
  • 10. Roll short side jelly roll style as shown.
  • 11. Tuck under ends, and place in greased 9 x 5" loaf pans. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise a second time for 1 hour.
  • 12. 30 minutes before baking time, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 13. Place loaves in oven for 30 minutes.
  • 14. Remove from baking pans and place on racks to cool. Enjoy!
