White sandwich bread Recipe

American · Bread · 55 min total

This soft, fluffy white sandwich bread is perfect for toast, sandwiches, or just slathered with butter. It's simple to make and yields a tender crumb.

Ingredients

• 3 cups (360g) bread flour
• 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons (8g) salt
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup (240ml) warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg, at room temperature

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
2. Add the warm milk, softened butter, and egg. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
6. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise again until the dough reaches about 1 inch above the rim of the pan, about 30-45 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
8. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips

• For a softer crust, brush the hot loaf with melted butter after baking.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
• If using instant yeast, you can skip the first rise and shape immediately after kneading.
