How to make Easy White Sandwich Bread:
It's a super easy bread to make. Not quite as easy as our No Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread, but still pretty darn easy. All you need to do:
- Activate the yeast
- Add the oil and flour
- Let rise
- Add to a pan
- Let rise again
- Bake
Annnd done!
Activating yeast? That's just mixing the water and sugar and letting it sit until it gets all nice n' frothy!
Then add the oil and flour and just let your stand mixer do the work for you.
Mix in the mixer on low until the dough is combined and pulls away nice and cleanly from the side.
Let let it proof until it has doubled and looks like a soft pillow you just want to nuzzle your face into.
Put that lovely loaf into a well greased pan and give it couple of pretty scores,
and bake!
To perfection.
This Easy White Sandwich Bread is the perfect sandwich bread. It's a classic and easy.
