Course: Breads & Muffins
Preparation: Bake
Prep Time: 30 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
Rise Time: 2 hours hours
Total Time: 3 hours hours
Servings: 24 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 5 1/2 cups bread flour
Imperial – Metric

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar in 1/2 cup (125 mL) warm water. Sprinkle in yeast. Allow to proof until the yeast resembles a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
  • In another bowl, combine milk, butter, 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sugar, salt and 1/2 cup (125 mL) warm water. Add milk mixture and 3 cups (750 mL) flour to yeast mixture. Beat with wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and elastic.
  • Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of bowl. Turn out on a floured surface and form into a ball.
  • Knead dough, adding more flour as necessary, until dough is smooth, elastic and no longer sticky, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with parchment paper and clean tea towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Punch down to remove air bubbles. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal portions.
  • Shape each portion into a loaf. Place seam side down in 2 greased 9 x 5-inch (22 x 12.5 cm) loaf pans. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove bread from pans onto a wire rack to cool. Brush top crust with butter if a soft crust is desired.
