Home Made White Bread

Here is a recipe for white bread that has a crunchy crust, but a nice soft buttery inside that is amazing to have for breakfast with a nice warm drink.

Time: 2 hrs ~ (depends on rising time) Serves: 6 people

Ingredients

1. 1 ¼ cups water

2. 2 tablespoons butter at room temperature

3. 1 teaspoon sugar

4. ¾ teaspoon salt

5. 1 tablespoon yeast

6. 1 tablespoon flour (for yeast)

7. 3 ¼ cups flour

Directions

Step 1

Mix the butter, sugar, and salt into warm water. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour and the yeast. Wait for 5 minutes for the yeast to bubble. If it doesn't, use new yeast.

Step 2

Add the flour in a large bowl stir in the yeast mix until a dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface and knead the dough. If the dough is too sticky add a little more flour at a time.

Step 3

Put the dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a clean damp towel and let rise until it has doubled in size. (depending on the humidity of your kitchen it may take longer or shorter)

Step 4

Punch down on the dough. Shape the dough into a log like shape and place it into a in greased loaf pan. If needed, fit it into the loaf pan. Allow it to rise again.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes. Enjoy!
