Classic white sandwich bread Recipe

American · Bread · 55 min total

Soft, fluffy, and perfectly sliceable, this classic white sandwich bread is ideal for toast, sandwiches, or simply enjoying with butter.

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, butter, and warm milk. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Punch down dough and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake bread for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and hollow when tapped. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• For a softer crust, brush the top of the hot loaf with melted butter after baking.
• Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
