Easy sandwich bread recipe
What makes this wonderful bread so fluffy and soft is the milk, egg and butter addition. Other ingredients used are fresh yeast, flour, water, sugar and salt. This recipe makes 2 loaves.
1. Mix warm water with yeast and sugar. Stir to combine and leave at room temperature until the yeast form bubbles.
2. Sift the flour and make a well in the middle.
3. Pour the yeast mixture then add the egg, sugar, salt, milk and melted butter.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for about 1 hour or until doubled in volume. If you want to speed up the process, turn the oven on at 350 F – 180 C and keep the bowl on the stovetop.

6. Place it into a 8.5 ” x 4. 5 ” pan, cover. Let rise again at room temperature until double in size.
7. Pre heat the oven to 350 F, if you haven’t already.
8. Bake the bread for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and the top sounds hollow when tapped.
