Simple Soft Sandwich Bread {New} ππ 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 β that it began breaking down by lunch time β 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 β 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 ππ

... build a sourdough starter from scratch! Friends, if you've ever wanted to build a sourdough starter from scratch or if you've tried in the past and failed, it's time to try again! We've had a glorious few days of sunny skies and warm weather here in Upstate New York, and my starter hasn't been happier in months. I'm not feeding it any differently; it's thriving simply because the temperature outside has risen. This got me thinking: if the weather here is finally looking bright (despite...
Friends, hello. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. We are back from Vermont, and I am missing sitting on my cousin's screened-in porch admiring the view. This week I worked on a rosemary-olive sourdough recipe (using this recipe as a base), and while it was a little heavy, it was very tasty. More on this soon: I also put together a little Mother's Day gift guide. A few things Iβm excited about include the seasonβs latest cookbooks as well as this bright blue tortilla press (so...
Friends, hello from Vermont, where green mountains and dogs abound! We arrived at my cousin's house yesterday evening with dinner in tow for 20 people: four baked pastas (assembled but not baked), large-batch Caesar dressing with many bags of Romaine, focaccia, and two almond tortes, which my sister, who does not like to cook or bake, whipped up yesterday morning. We baked the pastas upon arrival, assembled the salad while the pasta baked, and warmed the focaccia while the pasta rested. It...
