This makes one nice, small,
fast loaf and is the reason why I don't buy bread anymore. Bread's a big thing in my family. My mother's aunt's family invented
Wonder Bread and then sold the rights to it. Although that has nothing to do with
good bread.
List of stuff:
3 to 3.5 c flour
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 tbs sugar
.5 tsp salt
1.25 c. milk
1 tbs. butter
Make Bread Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl, mix until blended. Heat milk and butter to 130 degrees in a small saucepan - it's ok if the butter doesn't melt all the way. Pour milk into flour mixture and beat until dough is stretchy - about 5 minutes. Turn dough onto a floured board and dust lighty with more flour. Knead dough until smooth and satiny, adding just enough flour to prevent sticking. Shape dough into a ball, cover tightly in plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. Unwrap dough and pat into a 7x10 rectangle. Beginning with the short side, roll up and pinch seam to seal. Place loaf seam side down in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake uncovered in 400 degree oven until well browned, about 25 minutes. turn out onto a rack and let cool.
