Best White Bread

I love autumn. There’s a chill in the air that begs me to fire up the oven.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been on a mission to find a great white bread recipe. I’ve tried dozens from well known cookbooks and famous foodies.  I started searching on Pinterest, and put out a plea  for some help with my quest.

Within minutes, I had an email from a sweet cousin in Phoenix…with a recipe…that turned out to be the best white bread I’ve ever made.

We baked up a batch on Sunday, and within an hour we had devoured two loaves, hot and drizzled with honey.  We transformed a loaf tonight into grilled cheese sandwiches and dipped them into steamy tomato soup. Tomorrow’s breakfast will most likely be toast with raspberry jam.

Mix hot water, honey, oil, salt and yeast together in mixer. Add 5 cups flour.

Mix until smooth. Change to dough hooks.

Add 5 more cups of flour. Beat well. Add more flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough doesn’t stick to the side.

Mix on high speed for 6 minutes then turn mixer off.

Let rest for 12 minutes.

Form into 4 loaves. Put in greased flour pans. Place in oven, turn oven to warm and let rise for 20 minutes.

Increase temp to 350 and bake approx. 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and brush tops of loaves with melted butter.

Cool on cooling rack.

Now, where should I focus my recipe searching energy?
