This recipe took first-place honors 7 consecutive years at our local fair. My relatives rave about this bread and its pleasant subtle ginger flavor.

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.

Oh! This was the best basic bread I have ever had! I was so moist and delicious and made an excellent sandwich bread! it was very easy to make! I will most certainly be making this a lot to have on hand for lunches, etc. Thank you very much!

Blessings!
