White Bread

I just made this in the bread machine. It tastes wonderful! It rose too much though, so I need to adjust this recipe in the future. Probably less sugar.

• 2 t yeast
• 4 1/4 c flour
• 3 T sugar (use less next time)
• 1.5 t salt
• 1 c milk, scant
• 1/2 c hot water
• 2 T butter

1. Dump ingredients in bread machine. Set to 2 pound medium crust basic white. Done in 3 hours.
2. Slice. Serve warm with butter or cool down and eat later.

Notes
1/13/2010 I ran out of flour, so only used 3 c bread flour and less than 1 c all purpose flour, plus 2 T sugar, 3/4 c milk and 2 T oil.

Chewy White Bread

9/23/15 Made this bread to serve with the Beef Stew II. It was crusty and the inside was chewy. Had put it on delay and when it was done it was a bit lumpy which probably means it was a bit dry. 1.5 lb loaf, medium setting. *** (or **** if you purposely want a chew bread with lots of bubbles). 
NOTE: Used Canadian flour

• 1 c warm water
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 T sugar
• 1 t salt
• 2.5 c flour
• 2 1/4 t yeast
