Amish White Bread

I can't believe how hard it is to find a real bread recipe that doesn't use a bread machine! This recipe is exactly what I was looking for. I followed the recipe as written, except I added a pinch of sugar to the yeast and water and watched for foam, as I've had issues with non-performing yeast in the past. The dough was a bit sticky, but not unmanagable by any standard. It rose beautifully and it was fluffly and light when baked. I made 2 loaves on Saturday and they were gone in less than half an hour. On Sunday, I showed my husband the fine art of homemade bread and he made 2 more loaves, and will probably make more in a day or so. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for posting!

Loved this bread! I normally make a honey oatmeal bread from another site, but made this for my husband to make sandwiches... as he's more the white bread type. Cut this in half and made the dough in the bread machine. Punched it down and let it rise in a loaf pan, then baked at 350' for 30 minutes. Buttered the top when it came out of the oven. Beautiful loaf of bread... golden brown, and substantial enough for sandwiches, but still light and tasty. Thanks for sharing a great bread recipe.

Excellent bread with easy to follow instructions. I used bread flour and kneaded (with Kitchenaid) for 15 minutes. Baked one loaf for dinner and rolled the second one out, sprinkled it with a bit of brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, rolled it up and let it rise overnight in refrigerator. This morning I set it in a barely warm oven for about an hour to finish rising and then baked cinnamon bread for breakfast. Thanks for the recipe!

I was looking for a good sandwich bread. After trying 4 different ones, this is the best one I have run into. Great texture, perfect for toast and sandwiches. I followed the directions exactly and got great results.
