My Favorite White Bread

I've made a lot of bread recipes and this one has become my absolute favorite! I make a batch every couple of weeks!

This is a classic white bread recipe, and so easy! The loaves bake up incredibly tall, soft and fluffy… the perfect white bread!

The frozen slices reheat exceptionally well – just 20 seconds in the microwave is all they need.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4½teaspoonsinstant yeast(two 0.25-ounce packets)
• ¾cup+ 2⅔ cups warm water(divided)
• ¼cupgranulated sugar
• 1tablespoonsalt
• 3tablespoonsunsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
• 9 to 10cupsall-purpose flour
• 3tablespoonsunsalted butter(melted, for brushing)

DIRECTIONS:

1. In the bowl of a mixer, stir to dissolve the yeast in ¾ cup of the warm water, and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2⅔ cups water, sugar, salt, room temperature butter, and 5 cups of the flour and stir to combine.
2. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed and gradually add the remaining flour until the dough is soft and tacky, but not sticky (you may not need to use all of the flour). Continue to knead until a soft ball of dough forms and clears the sides of the bowl, about 7 to 10 minutes.
3. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and turn it over so it is completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a draft-free place to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
