Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup water 110F
• 1 cup whole milk 110F
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
• 1/4 cup mild vegetable oil (coconut oil works really well here!)
• 51/2 to 61/2 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

• Dissolve the sugar in the warm water and milk in a large bowl.
• Whisk in the yeast.
• Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the yeast mixture gets foamy.
• Whisk in the salt and oil.
• With the mixer running add the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
• Knead by machine about 5 minutes.
• If you are hand kneading mix in the flour until you have a sticky dough, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic - adding flour as needed.
• Oil a large bowl and place the ball of dough in it.
• Oil the top of the dough and then cover with a damp cloth.
• Allow it to rise until it has doubled in bulk. This will take about an hour.
• Punch the dough down.
• Knead for three minutes or so and divide in half.
• Let rest for five minutes.
• Shape into loaves and then place in greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• Brush the tops with the melted butter.
• Let rise for 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen an inch or so above the pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
• For a soft crust butter the tops and place a clean tea towel over the baked loaves as soon as you take them out of the oven. Let them cool for about 5 minutes and then take them out of the pans to finish cooling, covering them back up with the tea towel.
• Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order the manufacturer recommends.
• Select white bread cycle.
• Press start.
• When the dough has risen once and second cycle of kneading begins, turn the machine off. Press start again to reset the machine.
• The dough will rise a second time before it bakes.
