White Bread
Description
This White Bread recipe begins by combining warm water with active dry yeast, kosher salt, melted unsalted butter, vegetable oil, sugar, and part of the bread flour. The mixture rests until doubled in size to develop gluten and activate yeast. Additional flour is incorporated followed by kneading with a dough hook until smooth. The dough is then covered and allowed to rise again until doubled.
After the second rise, the dough is divided into three portions, shaped, and placed into loaf pans for a final rise. Baking occurs at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and fully baked. The bread yields three loaves with a tender crust and a soft, moist interior, ideal for everyday use like sandwiches, toast, or alongside meals.
The recipe includes clickable times in the instructions for timing purposes. This bread requires patience due to the multiple risings but results in a versatile homemade loaf.
Ingredients
- 3 cups water 110 degrees, warm
- 3 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 cups bread flour
Instructions
- In a stand mixer add the water, yeast, salt, butter, oil, sugar and 4 cups of bread flour and whisk well then let it sit until it doubles in size.
- Add 2 more cups of flour, then add the dough hook and turn on for five minutes before adding in the remaining flour until the dough is smooth and remove the dough hook and cover with a damp clean cloth.
- Let the dough double in size, about 60 minutes, then punch it down and separate into three loaf pans and allow to rise to double its size again.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Notes
- Use the clickable timers on rise and bake times to monitor your bread preparation precisely.
