White Sandwich Bread???


Bread making, to me, is a kind of art.  The combination of making the contents, giving it character and flavor and then making it into a form that is attractive are all parts of creating each loaf of bread.  And, when I think of an Artisanal Bread, white bread does not come to mind.

But, some people want white bread for a sandwich.  Even PB&J.  These sandwiches are just not the same with rosemary thyme bread or crusty double flax bread or caraway rye.  Sometimes, it seems, you just want soft white bread.

In fact, simple white bread is the easiest of all of the varieties to make.  It's a little different baking in a pan, but that's even easier than a free form loaf that needs to hold it's form to so a taller loaf comes out of the oven than what went into the oven.

Here it is - with the mushroom head and fluffy white crumb.  The crust is softer, but not soft.  Keep it in a plastic bag and it gets/stays soft.

Sometimes- white bread:  It's what's for lunch.
