Learn how to make a soft and fluffy white sandwich bread from scratch! Guaranteed to taste better than any store-bought loaf! It's perfect for any sandwich or toast craving.
⅝cup(150ml)milk of choiceregular or dairy-free (I recommend oat milk)
⅝cup(150ml)water
¼cup(60g)butterregular or dairy-free
Instructions
Warm milk, water, and butter in a small pot or in the microwave. → It should be lukewarm, not hot, or the yeast will deactivate.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm milk mixture and knead on medium speed, with the dough hook attached, for 5-10 minutes into a smooth dough.
Cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, stretch into a rectangle (as long as your loaf pan), then roll up into a log.
Tuck the ends under slightly, then place seam side down in a greased 12-inch loaf pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise again for at least an hour.
Preheated oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake in the lower half of the preheated for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Let cool briefly, remove the bread from the pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
