Amish White Bread Recipe

It is very easy to shape the white dough in order to fit it into a 9 x 5 bread pan before baking your white bread in the oven. Moreover, it should take you only a couple of minutes to shape the proper dough “jelly roll” needed to create a nice bread loaf. Please watch this Youtube video by King Arthur Baking because it is a very good (& short) instructional video. It is focused on how to shape the dough in order to make a “sandwich” loaf in a bread pan.

You can add lots of different ingredients in order to change the flavor of your white bread. You can use butter instead of vegetable oil in order to add a more buttery flavor. You can add spices such as Italian seasoning and dried rosemary. You can add dried fruit such as dried cranberries in order to add sweetness & some fruit flavor. You can use buttermilk or whole milk instead of water. All you need to be is creative with your white bread and you can add lots of delicious new flavors.

Yes, you can make homemade white bread with all purpose flour. It will be a decent bread but it will not be as nice as a white bread made with bread flour. All purpose flour has less gluten than bread flour. Therefore, a white bread made with all purpose flour will be denser & less airy than a white bread made with bread flour. More gluten enables bread flour to trap more of the CO2 “bubbles” put out by the bread yeast. More trapped bubbles help to create softer & airer breads.

Crusty Artisan Bread

If your family can’t eat dairy products, you can easily replace the dairy ingredients in this white bread recipe with non-dairy substitutes. You can replace the milk with water, soy milk, almond milk, etc. You also can replace the butter with vegan butter or vegetable oil (i.e. canola oil or corn oil).

If you want to add a little extra favor to white bread, you can add a small amount of spices such as Italian seasoning, dried rosemary, dried pepper flakes, black pepper, etc.

Bread flour is the best flour to use when making white bread. It has more gluten than all purpose flour and more gluten results in an airier & softer bread. The extra gluten in bread flour helps to trap more of the CO2 put out by the yeast. Moreover, white breads made with all purpose flour tend to be a little denser (less air pockets) than white breads made with bread flour.

The Best Bread Recipe {step By Step!}

Here are process steps with tips, but also see the video below – super handy to see the dough consistency, and how to form the dough.

Mix together the flour, salt and yeast, then add warm water and mix. The “dough” will be very wet and sloppy, not kneadable at all – this is what you want!

Cover with cling wrap then place it in a warm place (25 – 30°C / 77 – 86°F) for 2 hours. The dough will increase in volume by double or more, the surface will become bubbly and the dough will be wobbly, like jelly.

Whole Wheat Bread

OPTIONAL – develop flavour: Once dough has risen, you can bake immediately. OR, for better flavour, refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, up to 3 days. Time = better flavour development.

Bread in photos and video were baked immediately. I usually make this dough in the morning, refrigerate all day then bake in the evening. Or make the dough in the evening, refrigerate overnight and bake fresh in the morning! (10 – 12 hours in fridge). Beauty of this bread is that you can bake anytime!

30 minutes before dough has risen, or while refrigerated dough is coming to room temperature, place dutch oven (cast iron pot) in the oven to preheat at 230°C/450°F.

Scrape dough out of bowlonto floured work surface. It will be wet and sticky and that’s exactly what you want – because we willnot be kneading it! In fact, you won’t even touch it with your hand.

PRO TIP: Dough handling and shaping technique devised to minimise addition of flour. Less flour = wetter dough = bigger air pockets, fluffier bread and more moist.

-

Use a dough scraper or anything of similar shape (spatula, cake server, or large knife) to fold the sides in so it roughly resembles a round disc.

Basic Homemade Bread Recipe: How To Make It

Don’t get too hung up on the shaping – you’ll deform it in the next step!! This step is mainly to deflate the dough.

Slide a large piece of baking / parchment paper next to the dough, then flip it upside down onto the paper using the scraper so the seams from the step above are face down, and you have the smooth side up.

Do not get too hung up on a neat shape – this bread is supposed to be rustic! Besides, scruffier shape = more awesome crispy ridges

Easy Perfect Yeast Bread

Remove very hot pot from oven, then use paper to pick up the dough and put it in the pot, and put the lid on.

Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on (this creates a steamer effect, allowing the bread to rise while it cooks before crust sets), then 12 minutes with the lid off to brown and crisp up the crust. The surface will crack – and you want this, for extra crispy ridges!!
