FARMHOUSE WHITE BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

Farmhouse White Bread (for Bread Machine) image

This is one of my favorite bread machine recipes, though you can also make a shaped loaf if you want. I usually use wheat flour in place of some of the bread flour, about 1/3 of the total flour. For every cup of wheat flour, I add about a teaspoon of gluten. I'm giving amounts for a medium (1-1/2 lb)loaf. Measurements in...

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 c milk (2/3c ----- 1-1/4 c)
1 egg (1/2 ------ 1)
2 Tbsp butter (1 tbs --------2 tbs)
1/2 tsp salt (1/3 tsp -------2/3 tsp)
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar (1 tbs ------ 2 tbs)
3 c bread flour*** (2 c ------ 3-1/2 c)
1 1/2 tsp yeast (1 tsp ------ 2 tsp)
AT THE BEEP, ADD
2 Tbsp sesame seeds (1-1/2 tbs ------ 2-1/2 tbs)

Steps:

1. Add ingredients in the correct order for your bread machine, except for the sesame seeds. *** Remember that you can substitute wheat(or some other) flour for part of the bread flour. Add an appropriate amount of gluten if you use wheat flour.
2. Set your machine for the correct sized loaf, and desired loaf color.
3. Add sesame seeds when the machine beeps for add-ins.
4. The next time your machine beeps, you will have a delicious loaf of bread.
5. Note: I sometimes use the bread machine to make dough only, then place in a bread pan, sprinkle with more sesame seeds, let rise and bake in the oven at 350 for 20-30 min. until golden brown. (I keep my eye on it for color, sometimes I forget to check the actual time.)

Categories Yeast Breads

Time 4h10m

Yield 1 1/2 lb. loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons fast rising yeast or 1 1/2 teaspoons quick-rising yeast
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

Add ingredients to bread machine in order directed by manufacturer.
Add sesame seeds at the beep or appropriate time for your machine.
Cycle: Light, white, no timer.

Tips:

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them. This will help the dough rise evenly and prevent the bread from becoming dense or crumbly.
When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not scoop the flour directly from the bag, as this can result in too much flour being used.
If you do not have a breadmaker, you can still make this bread by hand. Simply mix the ingredients together in a large bowl and knead the dough for 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Then, place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased baking pan and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This classic farmhouse bread recipe is a great way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread without any hassle. With just a few simple ingredients and a breadmaker, you can have a delicious, golden brown loaf of bread ready in no time.
