This is a great recipe for homemade white bread! Normally I do not make white bread at home, preferring to channel my bread-baking energies into other types of breads. However, today we ran out of store-bought sandwich bread (and I don't buy the cheap crap; I'm willing to spend a little more money for decent bread). My husband and my daughter eat a lot of bread. I won't get to the grocery store for another three days. I remembered seeing this recipe and decided to whip up a quick loaf. I halved the ingredients, threw them into the bread machine for the mixing, kneading and first rising, then removed the dough, shaped it, and put it in the pan for the second rising. Perfect. I have bookmarked this recipe.
