This recipe yields a light, airy bread with a characteristic tender crumb that is far superior to store-bought varieties.
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 6 cups bread flour
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
Begin by whisking together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let this mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy, which indicates the yeast is active.
2. Mix and Knead the Dough
Add the bread flour, salt, and oil to the yeast mixture in a stand mixer. Knead the dough on a medium setting until it is completely smooth and elastic.
