Sandwich Bread Loaf
Ingredients:
- 2 cups warm milk.
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar.
- 1 1/2 Tbsps dry active yeast.
- 1/4 cup honey.
- 1 egg.
- 1/4 cup melted butter.
- 2 tsps salt.
- 6 cups all-purpose flour.
- melted butter for brushing on tops.
Instructions:
1. In stand mixer bowl, combine and whisk together warm milk, sugar and yeast. Let stand for 5 - 10 min to bloom and become frothy.
2. Add in honey, egg, melted butter, salt and flour. Mix with dough hook attachment for 5 min, or knead by hand until smooth.
3. After kneading to a smooth ball of dough, remove from bowl, oil the bowl good with olive oil, and place dough back in bowl. Coat well.
4. Cover bowl with dry dish towel and let dough rise in warm area for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubles in size.
5. Once risen, punch air out of dough to deflate. Transfer to clean countertop. Cut dough in half and shape first by flattening out dough with palm of hand, fold up each end, then roll to a log. Pinch seam closed. Repeat with second portion of dough.
6. Place rolled loaves into 2 separate well greased large bread loaf pans. Cover both pans with dry dish towel and let rise for 30 min, or until each loaf doubles in size.
7. Bake both in preheated 350°F oven for 25 - 30 min, until lightly golden brown on tops. Immediately brush tops with melted butter and dump both loaves out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely, about 45 min, before slicing.
