Easy Sandwich Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup water (warm to about 110°F)
• 0.25 cup milk (warm to about 110°F)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2.25 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 packet)
• 3.33 cup bread flour (Use 1 cup at first, then add the remaining 2⅓ cups.)
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp butter

Steps

1. 1

   Warm 1 cup of water and ¼ cup of milk to about 110°F. Combine them in a bowl.

2. 2

   Add the sugar and yeast to the warm liquid. Set the mixture aside for about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of the bread flour with the salt and butter.

4. 4

   Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir.

5. 5

   Add the remaining 2⅓ cups of bread flour and stir until a shaggy dough forms.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a clean countertop. Knead it by hand until it comes together and looks smooth.

7. 7

   Place the dough in a bowl and turn it to coat. Cover and let it rise on the countertop for about 2 hours.

8. 8

   Turn the risen dough out and roll it into a rectangle about as wide as your loaf pan (the creator refers to an 8-inch width).

9. 9

   Roll the rectangle up into a loaf shape and place it in the loaf pan.

10. 10

    Cover with the same plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

11. 11

    Move the oven rack to a lower position and preheat the oven to 350°F.

12. 12

    Bake the loaf for about 32–35 minutes.

13. 13

    Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely before slicing.
