• Turn dough out onto floured surface, knead briefly to form a small, round ball.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to coat.
• To Proof: Original recipe suggests while you are making the dough, heat an oven to 200 for 10 minutes, then turning off. Place bowl covered with plastic wrap in oven to proof. However, I cover with a towel and use my warming burner. Let rise 40 - 50 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Turn onto floured work surface, gently roll dough into a 1 x 9 inch rectangle. Roll the short side into a tight cylinder. Pinch the seams closed. Place the seam-side down in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap or towel; set in a warm spot until the dough almost doubles in size, 20-30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350. Placing a glass dish with boiling water inside.

AMERICAN SANDWICH BREAD - ABM OR OVEN

Steps:

• **ABM METHOD**.
• Add ingredients in order recommended by your ABM manufacturer.
• Select Quick setting, and start.
• After 8 minutes of kneading, check the dough consistency. If too dry, and dough is not pulling in all of the flour, add a tablespoon of water, and check again. If too wet, and dough is visibly wet, add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour, and check again.
• Remove from ABM when done. Remove the bread from the pan, transfer to a wire rack, and cool to room temperature.
• Slice and serve.
• **OVEN METHOD**.
• Set one oven rack on lowest possible level. Set second rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Once the oven has reached 200 degrees, maintain the heat for 10 minutes, then turn off the oven.
• IF USING STANDING MIXER.
• Mix the flour and salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook.
• Mix the milk, water, butter, honey and yeast in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
• Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the liquid. When the dough comes together, increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth and satiny, stopping the mixer 2-3 times to scrape dough from the hook, if necessary, about 10 minutes. (After 5 minutes of kneading, if the dough is still sticking to the sides of the bowl, add up to 1/4 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky.).
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead to form a smooth, round ball, about 15 seconds.
• Go to Step 20.
• IF USING FOOD PROCESSOR.
• Mix flour and salt in bowl of food processor fitted with the steel blade.
• Add liquid ingredients. Process until rough ball forms. Let dough rest 2 minutes.
• Process 35 seconds.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough by hand until dough is smooth and satiny, 4-5 minutes.
• Place the dough in a very lightly oiled large bowl, rubbing the dough around the bowl to coat lightly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the warmed oven until the dough doubles in size, 40-50 minutes.
• Gently press the dough into an 8-inch square that measures 1-inch thick. Starting with the side farthest from you, roll the dough firmly into a cylinder, pressing with your fingers to make sure the dough sticks to itself.
• Turn the dough seam-side up and pinch it closed. Place the dough seam-side down in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and press it gently so it touches all 4 sides of the pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm spot until the dough almost doubles in size, 20-30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Boil 2 cups of water and pour into a baking pan, and place it on the bottom rack.
• If possible, place the loaf on a rack above the baking pan of water; otherwise, place the 2 pans side by side.
• Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted at an angle from the short end just above the pan rim into the center of the loaf reads 195 degrees F, about 40-50 minutes.
• Remove the bread from the pan, transfer to a wire rack, and cool to room temperature.
• Slice and serve.

SANDWICH ROLLS (ABM)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in order suggested by your bread machine manufacturer.
• Use dough cycle.
• When dough is finished, remove from machine.
• Form into 10- 12 balls.
• Shape into rolls.
• Let rise for 40- 50 minutes on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated oven 375* for 20 minute or until golden brown.

SUPER SANDWICH BREAD (PAIN DE MIE) (LEVAIN BAKERY)

Steps:

• Put yeast and warm water in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until creamy. Set aside for 1-2 minutes.
• Using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour and salt. While mixing on low speed, gradually add in the cut-up butter and buttermilk. Then add in the cool water as needed to form smooth dough. TIP: When first combining water and flour, its essential to create dough with the right consistency. If dough is too wet and sticky, add a bit more flour. If dough is too dry and hard, add a bit more cool water.
• Continue mixing for 5 to 8 minutes until dough is elastic. Remove mixing bowl from stand. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours.
• After dough has risen, lightly grease two 8-inch loaf pans. Divide risen dough in half and form each piece into a rectangular loaf shape. Place shaped loaves into prepared pans. Dust the tops of the dough with flour and cover the loaf pans loosely with plastic wrap. Let the dough proof for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
• When dough has done proofing, preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly flour the top of each loaf. With a razor blade or very sharp knife, score the top of each loaf diagonally 3 times. Place the sheet pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
