Soft Sandwich Bread (Egg Bread) in a Stand Mixer
To make one loaf:
3⁄4 c warm milk (180 g)
1⁄4 c melted butter (57 g)
2 eggs (100 g)
1⁄4 c sugar (50 g)
3 c flour (360 g)
1 1⁄2 tsp salt (8 g)
1 tsp yeast (4 g)
To make 2 loaves:
11⁄2 cups warm milk (360 g)
1⁄2 cup melted butter (114 g)
4 eggs (200 g)
1⁄2 cup sugar (100 g)
6 cups flour (720 g)
3 tsp (1 Tbsp) salt (16 g)
2 tsp yeast (8 g)
Stand Mixer Directions:
To make this loaf with a stand mixer, I use the 1.5 lb loaf recipe for my 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan. You can also double this recipe to make 2 loaves! Simply measure all ingredients into the bowl of a mixer. Using the dough hook attachment, turn mixer on speed one or low for 1-2 minutes to combine ingredients. Check dough to see if more flour or water/milk is needed. If the dough is too wet and sticky, add about 1/8 c flour at a time until it pulls away from the bowl. If the dough is crumbly, it needs more liquids. Add about 1 Tbs of water or milk, let knead well, and reassess. Weather, climate, time of
year, etc affect your dough greatly, even if you measure exactly. You will get a better bread if you read your dough. Try to make it look like mine. Let ingredients knead on speed 2 or medium-low for about 8 minutes. Cover bowl with a warm, wet tea towel and let dough rise for 45 minutes to an hour, or until expanded and puffy. Punch down, turn out from bowl, press out and shape into a loaf. Place into a well-oiled loaf pan and
let rise again (20 minutes to an hour depending on your altitude). Once it has reached over the edge of the loaf pan, place into a preheated 350-degree oven to bake for 30
minutes. When done, turn out immediately from the loaf pan and brush with melted butter. Wrap in a dry tea towel to cool for softest crust. Slice after cooled for best texture and crumb. Enjoy your loaf of homemade bread!
