"White" Bread
10 years ago
This is a bread machine recipe that is baked in the oven after the bread machine does all the hard work. Since the recipe uses bread flour, it's not really "white" bread. Also, the honey imparts a distinct flavor that you normally don't find in white bread.
White Bread
1-1/4 cups lukewarm milk
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons soft butter
2 tablespoons honey
3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons yeast
In the bread machine - 2lb loaf, light crust, setting #1 - White Bread.
If you are going to do this without a bread machine, here's the procedure:
Mix and then knead for 34 minutes.
Rise for 26 minutes.
Knead for 15 seconds
Rise for 25 minutes.
Knead for 15 seconds. (This is where I removed it from the bread machine and put the dough in a lightly greased meatloaf pan.)
Rise for 55 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 43 minutes.

Annie's White Bread (Grandma's Recipe)
Comments (1)First, I am ecstatic to hear about your husband and his health improvements. Thank goodness, he's been in my prayers all along, so I'm happy. Not nearly as happy as you are, I'm sure. The bread recipe is a good one, it's one of those old farm recipes from when everyone had milk and eggs and butter to use up but it's my family's favorite too. I always use the bread machine to mix/knead/rise, then just shape the rolls or loaves and bake in the oven, it works great. In fact, the Monkey Princess and I just baked a couple dozen today, they'll be for sandwiches for Madison's birthday party tomorrow. Hard to believe she's 3. (sigh) Happy Holidays to you and your hubs, and many more! Annie...See MoreWhite bread recipe (not for breadmaker)
Comments (5)The favorite white bread....is Julia's....3 3/4 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsps sugar, 4 tsps dry yeast....mix, stir in 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups room temp water. Mix well, place in oiled bowl, cover with saran and let sit in a warm spot...(70 degrees warm) until doubled ( 3 hours of so). Turn out onto lightly floured board and pull and fold onto itself 3 or 4 times, cover and let sit until doubled again. Preheat oven to 450 Turn out bread onto floured board, pat down, divide in half and shape into a loaf....your choice...round, long or inbetween. Place loaves on a silpat on a cookie sheet, or on a sheet sprinkled with corn meal. Cover with oiled saran and allow to double while the oven heats....will take about 45 to 60 minutes. slash the loaves with a sharp knife....dump a cup of ice cubes into the oven and put the loaves in the oven....after 10 minutes turn the oven down to 375....without opening the door, and bake another 15 minutes. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom....See MoreGreek white bread -- refrigerate until tomorrow?
Comments (6)The refrigerator makes the starches tighten up, which is what stale is. Warming will loosen them until cool, when the bread goes back to being stale. I'd wrap it uncut tightly in a cloth and put it where the temperature is steady (in an inside cupboard perhaps), and where there's no air blowing on it. Or freeze it in an airtight wrap, if you have a fast freezer that won't be opened and closed while the bread is freezing (to limit potential immediate freezer burn), though that's likely to affect the crust. If you don't mind the crust softening, you can also just put it in a zipper bag with the air pressed out and hope for the best....See MoreAnnie's Grandmother's White Bread Recipe
Comments (29)Very similar to the one I use for all of my sweet rolls. Here's mine for Pecan Sticky Buns: Pat’s Pecan Sticky Buns FOR ABM Dough: 1 cup milk 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 3/4 tsp. salt 4 cups all-purpose flour 2-1/2 tsp. active dry yeast Filling: 1/2 cup butter, softened 1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed Topping: 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup Chopped pecans Heat butter, brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Remove the dough from the machine when cycle is complete. Roll dough out on a well-floured board. Spread softened butter evenly over rolled dough. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over butter. Roll dough up. Prepare Topping and place in greased pan. Slice rolls and place over topping in pan. Allow to rise 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake in a preheated 350° F. oven for about 18 – 20 minutes. After removing from oven, allow to sit for approximately five minutes in pan. Invert pan over large cookie sheet that is lined with either Silpat or parchment paper. Leave pan on top of rolls for a few minutes to allow all pecans to drip onto rolls. Remove pan and enjoy!...See More- 10 years ago
