Milk improves the bread’s texture and flavor. The bread is softer, fluffier and richer tasting. It enriches the dough with milk proteins and fat.

However, I’ve never scalded the milk and my bread has always turned out fine. Maybe the preheat cycle helps with this? Maybe scalding milk was necessary before the era when milk was pasteurized?

I’m not sure. I only know that I’ve had no problems with using milk right of out the refrigerator with this recipe.

No wonder it was convenient to bake in large batches, right?

Then the modern, electrical ovens changed everything in the first half of the 20th century. Yeasted breads tend to stay fresh longer than those with bicarbonate of soda or baking powder. But, when it is that easy to get the right temperature, then why not make a simple, quick bread every now and then?
