Blue Ribbon White Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 15 min. + rising Bake: 40 min.
  • Yield: 32 Servings
15 40 55

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 2-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk powder, shortening, sugar, salt, ginger and 3-1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves.
