Milk and Honey Homemade Sandwich Bread
Make this Milk and Honey Homemade Sandwich Bread with 6 ingredients. Makes a 2 lb loaf using your bread machine.
Equipment
- Bread Machine Capable of Making a 2 lb Loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk room temperature
- 1 tbsp whole milk room temperature
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 3 cups bread flour see note below
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
Instructions
- Measure out 1 cups plus 1 tablespoon of whole milk. Warm to room temperature (see note below).Layer your ingredients in your bread machine according to the manufacture's instructions. This is very important and will affect the outcome of your recipe. My bread machine manual instructs to put all of the wet ingredients including the milk, melted butter and honey into the bread pan first, following by the flour and salt. It then instructs to make a small well in the flour for the yeast. It is important for the yeast not to touch the salt, sugar or liquid.
- Select the basic bread course on your machine. I select the basic cycle with the medium crust. Your bread machine may or may not have a crust setting.
- When the machine is done, all the bread to sit for 5 minutes. Carefully, remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts as it will be hot. Invert the bread pan and gently shake the pan to remove the loaf. Allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack. Wrapped bread can be stored on the counter for up to 4 days.
Notes
When measuring flour, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level off. This prevents your flour from being densely packed and allows for more accurate measuring.
I warm my milk in the microwave for 20 seconds to remove the chill from the refrigerator and achieve room temperature instantly.
