Homemade Bread
My husband recalls that on more than one occasion while he was growing up, he stayed home from school sick, napped on the couch and woke to the aroma of his mother's freshly baked bread. That's enough to make anyone feel better!—Denise Baumert, Dalhart, Texas

My previous review has gone away! It's been several years ago now, but one Sunday evening when there was a snowstorm raging outside I discovered that we were out of sandwich bread. So I did a quick search of the TOH website, pulled up this recipe and made half a recipe (1 loaf). I mixed the dough and ran it through the first rising in my bread machine, then shaped it, placed it in a loaf pan, did the second rising and baked it. It was really, really good. What I liked was that it called for ingredients I already had on hand, since I wasn't about to try to drive to the grocery store during a heavy snowfall.
This bread recipe can't have enough good reviews! I LOVE THIS BREAD! I have been making it for a while and my family loves it. Both loaves disappear in a day! This is THE bread recipe I use. It's soo good and makes an amazing soft and delicious loaf each time! The perfect toast, sandwich, french toast, gift and munching bread!! If you have been looking for a great sandwich bread recipe, you've just struck Gold my friend! The ONLY thing I have found is that you have to watch your dough while mixing in the flour. I can't get 6-7 cups in. I only get about 5-6. It depends on how "thirsty" your flour is.
Love love love this recipe easy and delicious !!!!!!!!!
This is the best recipe for white bread! My husband made it this afternoon for us. Thank you Denise for sharing this keeper!
Love this recipe. It's never failed me yet. It stays moist for several days. I add flax seed and whole wheat at times, does very well. Its my favorite bread recipe.
Good recipe. I did use half white and half whole wheat flour. I wasn't going to make this as I don't use dry milk. One other reviewer said she used 1/4 cup of half and half instead of the dry milk. I made the bread substituting half and half, and it turned out great. That is one of the things I like about Taste of Home. If you don't have everything the recipe calls for, just read the reviews and you will probably come across someone who was able to change the recipe a bit to make it work for them.
I LOVE, this recipe, i,VE been baking bread for years, and this one is the best! I don't have powdered milk, so I just put in instead 1/4cup of half and half and it's DELICIOUS! !!!!! I T S #10 ALL THE WAY!!??????????RATING IS 10 STAR.
Nothing like the smell of fresh baked bread. I fight for those end pieces! Will be making this again!Nonfat dry milk powder is a dry milk. When water is added, you get "milk." Can be found in the baking aisles of grocery stores.
What exactly is " nonfat dry milk powder"? please advise
