White Bread Recipe

Based off of bread formula from:
The Bread Baker’s Apprentice by Peter Reinhart

Ingredients:
4 1/4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 large egg (slightly beaten, at room temperature)
1/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk or whole milk (at room temperature)

1. Mix together f lour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
2. Add egg, butter, buttermilk and mix (If the dough seems stiff add a trickle more buttermilk until the dough is soft.)
4. Sprinkle the counter with f lour. Knead adding more f lour if needed so the dough is soft and tacky, but not sticky. Knead for 6-7 min or until the dough passes the window test.
5. Lightly oil a bowl, put the dough in it, and cover with plastic wrap.
6. Wait 1 to 2 hours. until the dough gets twice as big
7. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into loaves or rolls. 8. Shape the dough then put into a bread pan. Mist with oil and cover with towel or plastic wrap.
9. Wait for 60 to 90 minutes. until the dough gets twice as big
10. Preheat oven to 350* for bread or 400* for rolls
11. Bake bread for 35-45 minutes and rolls for 15 minutes.
12. Let loaves cool for at least 1 hour before cutting.
