Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 4 cups bread or white flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dry instant milk
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (let soften)
  • 1 tablespoon SAF Instant Yeast
Instructions

  1. 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a Danish whisk or large wooden spoon.

    2. After mixing, scoop the bread dough onto a floured countertop and knead for about 7-8 minutes.

    3. Cover the bread dough in a greased bowl with plastic wrap.

    4. Let the dough rise until doubled in size.

    5. Punch down the dough, divide the dough into two loaves, and place these in greased pans (this recipe makes two-pound loaves).

    6. Let the dough rise again (using the same plastic wrap) until it doubles.

    7. Preheat your oven to (350°F) = (176°C). Remove the plastic wrap. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until baked through. Let cool on cooling racks. Enjoy.
