Bread Recipe of the Month (May)

Milk Sandwich Bread from joy of cooking

Combine the following in a large mixing bowl.
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 TBS warm (105-115 degree) water

Let stand until the yeast is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Add:
1 cup milk, warm to 105-115 degrees
5 TBS melted butter
3 TBS sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp salt

Mix by hand or on low speed for 1 minute. Gradually stir in:
2 cups bread flour
1 1/2-2 cups all purpose flour
Knead for about 10 minutes. Oil dough and allow to rise until doubled  1-1 1/2 hours. Punch down, knead briefly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Shape into loaf pans. Allow to rise until doubled 1-1 1/2 hours. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.

*I like to add cranberries and pistachios or cinnamon and raisins to this bread.
