White Sandwich Bread
I know rustic rounds of artisan bread are all the rage these days, but don’t forget the simple joys that a plain white sandwich loaf can bring. This is adapted from Peter Reinhart's recipe in The Bread Baker's Apprentice.
What you will need
2 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (one packet)
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
Sponge (see above)
1 2/3 cups unbleached bread flour
1/4 cup powdered milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 large egg, yolk only
1/4 cup butter (or vegetable oil), melted
