Sanwitch Bread, Bread Machine Recipe, & note if you don't have one.
4 cups flour 2 tsp salt 2 tsp yeast 1 cup warm milk 1 tbs, margarine or butter 1 tbs sugar put the warm milk, yeast and sugar in the bread machine pan. Then get all the rest of your ingredients together while the milk mixture and yeast hang out together for a few minutes. put the rest of the ingredients in and set to the dough setting. Begin to knead. now to get really FLUFFY bread its all about the texture. I have found that to not get the big holes of a rustic loaf, but instead get a soft loaf with a tight crumb your dough needs to be on the dryer side. as it is mixing note the texture. it should hold together as a doughball, but should feel dryish to the touch. when you touch it your finger should not have a piece of dough stuck on it when you pull back. so as it is mixing add a little warm water or more flour to get this texture just right. its tricky and make take some trial and error before you get it just right. at least you get to eat the errors! Bake at 375f for 35 to 45 minutes. Notes: You don't really need a bread machine, it can be done the old fashioned way. If you have a food processor you can put all ingredients into it and process for 45 to 60 seconds. Then put it in a greased bowl and let rise until double in bulk. Punch it down and place it in a greased baking pan and let rise until doubled once again. And bake it. If you don't have a food processor, then mix the dough and knead it on a floured board until smooth and elastic. that takes about ten minutes. Then do the same as above as far as letting it rise twice and bake it. It is definitely worth the work! Happy rising!
