Here is a sandwich bread recipe that is easy to make. Some people don’t like homemade bread, they say it is to heavy, to dense, etc, well here is how to get around that.
Take a cup of warm water
add 2 tablespoons of yeast and 1 of sugar and stir and let rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast
add 5 cups of bread flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of salt into a mixing bowl
after 5 minutes the yeast has activated, add that into the bowl of flour
melt 2 tablespoons of butter and dump that into the flour
measure out a cup of milk and dump that into the flour
stir well into a clump
and proceed to knead for 10 minutes, flouring as need if sticky
oil the bowl cover with a towel and let it proof
after about a hour it will double in size
flour your cutting board and dump the dough out
cut it in half
form two dough balls
and let them rest for 10 minutes
punch the dough down into a rectangle
fold 1/3rd over
and the other 1/3rd over that
pinch the seam shut
fold the dough in half
and pinch it shut, the purpose is to stretch the dough so it rises uniformly and keep it’s shape
oil a breadpan, and set the dough seam side down
I set the pans by the woodstove to proof for a hour
the dough is rising above the breadpan
take a knife and score the top
bake in the oven for about 35 minuts at 375
perfect golden bottom
with a nice crust and soft middle
Now to make some grilled cheese sandwiches with it!
so I assembled some farm cheese, cream cheese, some butter I made and the bread
I put some cream cheese in a bowl
the cream cheese would be to soft and the farm cheese doesn’t melt, so I grated some farm cheese into the cream cheese
and mixed it well, making a stiff cheese spread
I sliced off four pieces of bread
and buttered them up
I flipped two pieces over and applied the spread
and popped the other two on top
I heated up a griddle and set them on
after a couple minutes, I flipped them
and a couple minutes later, they were done
This looks like a great bread recipe, I’ve been looking for a good sandwich bread recipe. Thanks
