Sandwich white bread recipe

I love having homemade soft white bread from scratch around as it just makes any sandwich you make SO GOOD with each and every bite!!

Enjoying this bread by spreading on your favorite jam or peanut butter and my honey butter in the morning or for a quick snack is at a whole new level of deliciousness.

Loved by everyone served with my easy dinner or pasta recipes like my Mississippi pot roast to soak up all that delicious gravy and have with cozy soup recipes like my tasty taco soup or Texas cowboy stew.

The smiles and nods you get makes the time it takes to make it time well spent.

How to make homemade white bread

STEP ONE – Prepare 4 loaf pans with a thin layer of cold butter on the bottoms and sides of four 8×4- inch or 9×5-inch loaf pans or spray with cooking spray.

STEP TWO – In a large bowl mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes or until frothy.

STEP THRE E- Add salt, vegetable oil, and 6 cups of flour. Mix with a handheld mixer on medium- low speed for five minutes.

STEP FOUR – Add 6 more cups of flour and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

STEP FIVE – Leaving the spoon in the bowl, cover the dough with a glass plate or plastic wrap until the dough has doubled in size.

STEP SIX – Mix the dough down and let it rest for 10 minutes. Repeat this step four times.

STEP SEVEN – Place dough on an oiled countertop. Divide it into four equal pieces and shape it into smooth balls.

STEP EIGHT – Press dough with your hands or use a rolling pin to form dough into a rectangle about 8 wide and 12 inches long.

STEP NINE – Roll up the dough from the short and tuck the seam side down. Place the roll into the prepared bread pan and rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

STEP TEN – Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30-45 minutes.

Storage instructions

Store the bread in a cool dry place using an airtight plastic bag up to 3 days for the best freshness.
