Ingredients
 

  • 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar white or brown
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • cup (150 ml) milk of choice regular or dairy-free (I recommend oat milk)
  • cup (150 ml) water
  • ¼ cup (60 g) butter regular 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.

Notes

Vegan Sandwich Bread: This recipe can easily be made vegan if using dairy-free milk and dairy-free butter.
Store: The bread stays fresh for up to 3 days wrapped in a kitchen towel.
Freeze: Slice before freezing and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw individual slices directly in the toaster.
