Simple Soft Sandwich Bread {New} 🍞🍞 No Knead, No Mixer, No Sugar, 6 Ingredients
|
Friends, hello. Last week I mentioned I had been working on a soft sandwich bread recipe and hoped to be able to share it soon... here it is! It's a no-knead, 6-ingredient recipe that takes about 5 minutes to stir together. Thanks especially to my oldest daughter, who brings a turkey sandwich to school for lunch nearly every day and who has no reservations sharing her opinions, the recipe has gone through many iterations these past few months. It started with the basic bread ingredients: flour, water, salt, and yeast. In an effort to make it softer for sandwiches, I added some olive oil. When my daughter told me the bread didn't hold up very well — that it began breaking down by lunch time — I began researching. First I added honey, then I added milk, then I took away the honey, and finally I swapped in melted butter for the olive oil. The loaves made with a mix of water and milk, butter and no olive oil, and no sweetener at all tasted the most like the sandwich bread I was after: soft but sturdy and well seasoned but not sweet. Depending on your timeline, you can use more or less yeast — I've been in the habit of using 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) and employing a long, slow overnight rise, but if you need to speed up your timeline, there are notes in the recipe on how to do so. As always, I am here if you have any questions. Hope you love it 🍞🍞

Friends, hello! A week ago, I shared this sandwich bread recipe, and the most frequently asked question I've received since is: Could I make the loaf using whole wheat flour? I respond as I always do: Yes, you can, but keep in mind two things: 1.) the more whole wheat flour you use, the less lofty your loaf will be. 2.) Depending on the flour you are using, your bread might not necessarily be more nutritious. Why? It has to do with the milling. Most commercial flour on the market is made from...
Friends, hello. I was hoping to have something more exciting to share with you this weekend, namely a recipe for a very simple soft sandwich bread, which I've been making in various ways — sometimes with honey, sometimes with olive oil, sometimes with more or less water and different flours, etc. — since this past summer. The recipe is almost there... ... and I will share it as soon as it is. I have a simple sourdough sandwich bread recipe on the blog, and I've long wanted to include a...
Friends, hello, how are you? Tired of winter? Same. Tired of roasted vegetables? Same. Tired of being cold? Same. Alas. This time of the year has to arrive at some point, and it seems to be now. This week, after mistakenly buying blood oranges at the market, I made a vinaigrette, which immediately inspired me to make a favorite, classic salad — beets with goat cheese and walnuts — which takes so nicely to a citrusy dressing. I used golden beets, which looked better than the red ones on that...
