Sandwich Bread
Ingredients
- Bread
- ¾ cup (175 mL) water, warmed (around 110° F/38° C)
- 1 pkg. (¼ oz./10 g) active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) sugar
- 2½ cups (625 mL) bread flour
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) milk powder
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) shortening or softened butter
- Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) milk
Directions
- Add the water, yeast and sugar to the bowl of the Deluxe Stand Mixer. Let sit for 5 minutes or until frothy.
- Add in the remaining ingredients. Select KNEAD and set the time to 8 minutes. Press start.
- Transfer to a large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C). Using your hands, push the dough into a rectangle about 9” x 12” (23 x 30 cm). Fold in thirds along the long edge. Roll the dough to form a 9” (23-cm) log.
- Place the dough into a greased Stone Loaf Pan and let rise, covered for 45 minutes. Whisk together the egg wash ingredients and brush on top of the loaf before baking.
- Bake at 400° F (200° C) for 30-35 minutes or until well browned and cooked through.
- Remove from pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

Cook's Tips:
If you don’t have milk powder, use real milk in place of the water.
If your dough seems tacky, add more flour 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time while kneading. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Double this recipe and bake it in a Brilliance Nonstick Long Loaf Pan for a super market sized loaf! Just reduce the oven temperature to 375° F (190° C).
