Steps:
- Combine milk, sugar, salt, and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 1/2 cups flour. Attach bowl and dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and mix 1 minute. Continuing on speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans side of bowl. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
- Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
- When using for bierocks, after dough rises first time, cut dough in 12 pieces. roll each piece into a circle. Fill with hamburger cabbage filling ( I use recipe #50809).
- Spoon the filling in the middle of the circle then pinch the edges together and fold the ends in and place on greased baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse ground pepper and salt. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on rack.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the dough rise evenly and prevent lumps.
- Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. This will make the kneading process much easier.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour and give the bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to ferment and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. The bread is done when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
Conclusion:
Making basic white bread at home is a rewarding experience that can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels. With a little patience and practice, you can create a delicious and satisfying loaf of bread that will be loved by your family and friends.
