Butter Bread (Stand Mixer Recipe)
Ingredients (Makes 2 Loaves)
1 cup warm water (240 g)
½ cup milk (120 g)
2 large eggs
½ c (113 g) melted butter
6 c bread flour (720 g)
2 ½ tsp salt (15 g)
3 tsp yeast (9 g)
Stand Mixer Instructions
1. Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed until combined.
2. Knead on medium-low speed (2–3) for about 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky.
3. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Divide the dough in half. Shape into 2 loaves and place into greased 8½ × 4½-inch or 9 × 5-inch bread loaf pans.
5. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan. Score dough if you'd like.
6. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and the center reaches 190°F (88°C).
7. Remove from pans immediately, brush with butter, cover with tea towel, and cool completely before slicing.
8. Store in a beeswax bread bag at room temperature, or slice and freeze for longer storage.
