Basic White Sandwich Bread
Making bread in a bread machine is extremely easy. Nothing beats the ease of throwing ingredients in the machine and pushing the start button. A few hours later you have a delicious amazing hot loaf of bread.
This particular recipe is great because it does not have perishable ingredients, so it is safe to use with the timer. Literally put ingredients in the machine before bed, set the timer, push start and you wake up to fresh baked bread.
A question I get often is why nonfat dried milk.
Milk is added to bread for flavor, a tender crumb and well-colored crust. You can substitute fluid milk in the same quantity if thats all you have.
Dry milk is used because it easy to store and easy to use in bulk. Milk also contains an enzyme called glutathione which can weaken gluten and result in a poorer quality loaf - the drying process destroys this enzyme. Dry milk is really the way to go if you are going to bake often, which you should!! This bread is delish !
