Easy White Bread

This recipe is the easiest white bread recipe you'll find that's still delicious! You will need:

• 5 1/2 - 6 cups of white flour
• 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
• 2 1/4 cups of milk (you can use buttermilk, half and half, water, pretty much anything)
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt

First in a saucepan over medium heat: melt the butter, then add the milk, sugar and salt. Let warm until "baby bath warm" (when you stick your finger in it it's luke warm.
Then in a kitchen stand mixer, put 2 1/2 cups of flour in and the 1 Tbsp yeast. Mix.
Then add the wet mixture
Mix on medium low speed for about a minute and constantly scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Then mix on medium high for 3 minutes.

Then add 1 cup of flour and let it mix on medium high for about 2-3 minutes. Add another cup of flour and mix on medium high for about 2-3 minutes. (so far we have used 4 1/2 cups of flour).

Now you'll want to add 1/2 cup of flour and let it mix till blended, and then one more time a 1/2 cup of flour and let it mix till blended. You'll want to use one of those covers for your mixer if you have one.

Now take your dough out of the mixer and put some flour on your counter and knead the dough until it's smooth and still a little sticky. (not so sticky to still leave chunks on your counter when kneading)

Now form it into a ball (my husband says it looks more like a smooth brain).

Get a plastic bowl, spray it with oil, place the dough in it and spray the dough as well. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until double (about an hour) in a warm place.
After an hour you'll punch down the dough.
Let it sit for 10 Minutes.
Separate the dough into two equally big balls.
Flatten them into big flat rectangles (you can use your hands, or a rolling pin)
Put the rolled up loaves in bread pans and spray them with oil. cover them with plastic wrap.

Let them rise for 35 minutes.

Bake them at 375 for 45 minutes.

Let them cool! Enjoy!
