White Bread

Fresh Baked White Bread

Fluffy, tender, classic white bread, made easy using your bread machine to proof and knead the dough for you. Super easy to make and delicious. Over the years I have made many loaves of bread directly in my bread machine. I find that they come out okay but not great. Usually very dense and way too much crust. Now, I still utilize my bread machine to do the proofing process for me, but once the dough is complete, I bake it in the oven to get that perfect texture, shape, and taste you look for in a fresh baked bread. If you don't have a bread machine... you should get one! I use it frequently to save me time when making a variety of doughs, such as bread, pizza dough or cinnamon buns.

Stages in Making White Bread

- Start the "dough" cycle on the bread machine

- Clean up while you wait

- Remove dough once complete, and turn out onto a lightly floured and clean surface.

- Divide into two even parts.

- Flatten into a square shape using your hands, then fold into a rectangle. Then fold both left and right sides in. Flip the seem to the bottom and gently roll the dough into a wide cylindrical shape. View my video to see how I did it.

- Place into a greased bread tin. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot for 30 to 60 minutes. The dough will double in size.

TIP if you have a toaster over, warm it slightly then turn off the heat. Place your dough in there to proof.

- Preheat your oven to 375F for at least 30 minutes before you are ready to bake the bread.

- Once dough is proofed to double its size, place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.

- It is done when it feel hard on top and when tapped sounds hollow.

Optional: brush the top of each loaf with egg wash or vegetable oil/melted butter.

- Remove from the oven and allow to sit in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

- Once completely cooled, slice and enjoy.
