It's easy to make your own sandwich bread, and the result is fresher, tastier, and cheaper than most store-bought varieties. This white bread is quick, easy, and inexpensive to make. Use it for toasted sandwiches or for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In addition, it can be great for French toast too
Yeast mixture- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the warm water (110F), instant yeast, sugar, and olive oil.
120 ml Warm water at 110 F , 9 g Instant dry yeast, 24 g Sugar, 14 g Olive oil
Flour - In the large bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, add the flour and salt. Stir to combine. Then add the warm milk and yeast mixture. Combine with a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure all dry flour is incorporated.
500 g Bread flour, 9 g Salt, 240 ml Warm milk at 110 F
Knead - Continue to knead the dough on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the room-temperature butter and knead for 4 to 5 minutes more.
30 g Butter
Rise - Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and leave it to rise on the counter for up to 60 to 90 minutes or until double in volume.
Shape - When the dough is double in volume, transfer to a well-dusted floured surface. De-gas, reshape into a ball. Shape each portion into a tight roll. To do this correctly, flatten the dough on an unfloured surface. Fold the top and two sides in. Then roll towards you into a sausage or log shape.
Proof - Place the shaped log in the loaf pan. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for about 45 minutes until almost double in size.
Oven & Pan - When the bread is almost double in volume at about 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5. Grease the right size loaf pan with butter (ingredients given for 9-inch as well as 13-inch loaf pan)
Bake on the middle rack until lightly golden on top. The 9-inch loaf will take about 40 to 50 minutes, while the 13-inch loaf will take about 60 to 70 minutes. If the top of the sandwich bread is getting too dark, tent it with aluminum foil. When baked, brush with melted butter.
Cool - Take it out of the pan and cool on the wire rack. Cover it with a clean kitchen cloth for at least 10 minutes to keep the loaf soft
