Sometimes I make White Bread...


I've been wanting to make some French toast.  In my opinion, the very Best bread for French toast is homemade white bread.  I ran across this recipe today and decided to give it a try.  The only things I would add to her instructions are that if you use raw milk (I do) it needs to be scalded first, and... use at least 2 teaspoons salt.  I don't think 3 teaspoons would have been too much. Also, on the second kneading, I only did it for 3 minutes, not the 10 suggested.    Her recipe is very easy and as you can see, the results are spectacular! Thank you, Stacy!

    I love white bread! I just wish it didn't get so dry. I hate freezing bread...

    I will have to agree with you about the homemade bread being better for french toast.

    I use the recipe from the King Arthur Flour website with great results too.

    Wishing you live,

    Looking for a new white bread recipe..yours looks awful good and tall..I wonder....is my pans...I don't get a good rise out of the bread in silicone pans..I wonder...is it because the dough spreads out because the pans sides expand? Sounds plausible enough no? Anyway I have some regular loaf pans..and I think I will try this recipe out..I have been unhappy with my bread of late..because they don't rise high it does make a difference in the taste...thanks for sharing the recipe with me..:)

      I hope it works out well for you Faith. The pan SIZE has a lot to do with it, but I don't know if the silicone would make any difference or not. I have both pyrex and cast iron pans and enjoy both of them. Good luck! Please let me know how it turns out!
