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! This weekend we head to Lake George for our annual trip with Ben's family. We are a small crowd of 12, but a crowd nonetheless, and over the years we have learned to keep the nightly mealtime formula very, very simple: something grilled + a salad + bread. Minimal prep, minimal clean up is the name of the game with minimal kitchen space and without all of the tools/gadgets we rely on regularly. This year, for the first time ever, I made a few things ahead of time — some loaves...
Hi Friends, Last month, after finally getting this blueberry crisp recipe to a happy place — where the topping didn't disappear into the fruit below, and the filling didn't taste overly sweet — I began experimenting with other fruit, namely the classic combination of strawberries and rhubarb. The beauty of pairing strawberries with rhubarb is twofold: one, the flavors complement each other, and two, it allows you to use less sugar, as the strawberries provide a nice amount of sweetness....
Hi Friends, Often this time of year, my children spend a long weekend or more with my parents, who treat them to all sorts of goodies, including strawberries and cream while watching Wimbledon. (I know: what a life?) This year, as they find themselves at home with me instead, they've been requesting said berries and cream, and I've happily obliged because it's SO easy: pour a few tablespoons of heavy cream into a bowl, top with sliced strawberries (or other berries), sprinkle with sugar. It's...
