Pioneer Woman White Sandwich Bread Ingredients

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted, plus more for greasing the bowl and loaf pans
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
• 2 cups warm water (about 110°F to 115°F)

How To Make Pioneer Woman White Sandwich Bread

1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast with 2 cups of warm water, ensuring the water is around 110°F to activate the yeast. Stir until the yeast is completely dissolved. Add the melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add The Flour: Gradually add one-third of the flour to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Continue adding the next third of the flour and mix until incorporated. Spread some flour on a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it.
3. Knead and First Rise: Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, gradually incorporating the remaining flour, until the dough is smooth and elastic but still slightly sticky. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour.
4. Shape and Second Rise: After the first rise, knead the dough briefly for another 5 minutes. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for another 45 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
5. Bake and Cool: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the loaves for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the loaves to cool completely before slicing.

Recipe Tips

• Check the Yeast: Make sure your yeast is new. Old yeast won’t make the bread rise well.
• Right Water Temperature: Use a thermometer to make sure the water is warm (between 110°F and 115°F) for the yeast. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast.
• Add Flour Slowly: Add flour a little at a time. This helps mix everything well and keeps the dough easy to handle.
• Knead the Dough Right: Knead the dough until it is smooth but still a bit sticky. Don’t knead it too much, or the bread will be hard.
• Cool the Bread: Let the bread cool down before you cut it. If you cut it while it’s hot, it might not slice well and can be sticky.
