Course Lunch
Servings 4 loaves

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz 1 cup warm water
  • 1 TBS sugar
  • ¼ oz 1 envelope instant yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 2 TBS unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 12.75 oz 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 TBS dry milk

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients in order listed to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until combine then on medium low for about 5 minutes to form a smooth dough.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, or large (8-cup) measuring cup. Cover it, and let it rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until it's about doubled in size.
  • Gently deflate the dough, and divide into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a log and place into 4 greased mini loaf pans (5 ½” x 3 x 2). Cover with a soft dishtowel and allow to rise in a warm place for about 60-90 minutes. The dough should rise to the top of each pan.
  • Towards the end of rising, preheat oven to 350.
  • Bake the loaves for 20-25 minutes to an internal temperature of 195. Remove from oven and allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing each loaf from the pans. Allow to cool completely on wire rack.
