FARMHOUSE WHITE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to the bowl of an electric stand mixer or to a large mixing bowl. Combine until a dough is formed that holds together and does not stick to the sides of bottom of the bowl. If it seems too dry and crumbly, add more water a teaspoon at a time. If it's too sticky, add more flour.
• Knead the dough by machine or hand for ten to fifteen minutes, until it is smooth, soft, and reaches the windowpane stage (meaning that when the dough is stretched, a translucent area appears). If using a stand mixer, allow the machine to rest every five minutes.
• Shape the dough gently into a ball and place into a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean, damp tea towel and place into a warm place to rise. Let the dough rise 60 minutes, until it is puffy and has doubled in size.
• Gently stretch the dough into a rectangle, with the short side of the rectangle as long as the long side of the loaf pan you will be using for baking. Tuck in the corners and top of the dough, and roll into a long. Pinch the seams closed and place the loaf, seam side down, into a lightly oiled loaf pan.
• Cover with heavily greased plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise again, until the dough rises to be one inch above the top of the loaf pan. When it is ready, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously flour the top of the loaf with flour.
• Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, until the dough is 200-210 degrees internally and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from loaf pan and allow to cool fully on wire rack. Bread stays fresh 2 days at room temperature, or 2 months frozen.

FARMHOUSE WHITE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine 4 cups all purpose flour, instant yeast, and sugar. Make a well in the center, and add melted butter and warm milk. Add 3-4 cups of flour, adding 1 cup at a time. Stir with wooden spoon until you have a sticky, shaggy dough that's mostly combined. Don't worry if it's not smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Uncover the dough and add the salt and 1 cup of bread flour. Add an additional cup if it's too sticky to begin kneading. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead with floured hands for 8-10 minutes. Adding small amounts of flour if necessary.to work surface. You want the dough to be soft slightly tacky but not sticky. You may not need all the flour. Just use according to the feel and texture of the dough.
• Using a very large bowl sprinkle in flour add dough and sprinkle the top with flour. Cover and let rise until it has doubled. Preferably a warm place that's around 70 degrees. If the temperature is cooler it will take longer to rise.
• After the dough has doubled dump out onto a floured surface. Flatten gently to remove air bubbles. Divide into 3 equal pieces and shape into loaves. Place seam side down in greased loaf pans. Dust loaves with flour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover the loaves with the damp towel and let rise for about 40-60 minutes. Gently poke with a floured finger, the dough should spring back a little.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes. Loaves should be golden brown. The best way to check is with a thermometer. Internal temperature of loaves should read about 200 degrees. Let cool completely before slicing with a bread knife.

EASY FARMHOUSE MULTI-GRAIN BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all in bread machine pan in order given unless instructed otherwise by your machine's manufacturer. Bake on regular setting, medium or light color.
• Either use a scant cup of milk or add a couple or three tablespoons of flour to this to get the doughball the right texture. Keep your flour out and handy just in case, and watch the doughball after it's kneaded for a few minutes.
• Tip: If you have a kitchen scale, measuring flour by weight instead of by volume is not only much more accurate, it's faster and easier too.
• Tip: Never just throw the ingredients into a bread machine and leave it, if you can help it. Let the doughball form, then let the machine work it about five minutes more, then see what it looks like. If the paddle smushes through the bottom of the dough with every turn your dough is too wet. If your dough just spins around on top of the paddle or doesn't form at all, your dough is too dry. The ideal texture is soft enough to smush some of the time but firm enough to spin sometimes, then go off-center and smack the sides of the bread pan a lot.
• Enjoy!

FARMHOUSE WHITE MULTI-GRAIN CHEESE BREAD - BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Depending on the order of ingredients for your bread machine - place either wet or dry ingredients into the bread pan of the bread machine; I have put this list in order of wet to dry.
• Set your bread machine for a White 2lb loaf, rapid or normal and I find a medium crust works well on this - but it's up to personal taste!
• Check within the first 5 minutes if there is enough liquid to dry, I say this as flours from different parts of the world can differ greatly! (Adjust if necessary - it is NOT usual to have to add more or less than a few millilitres or grammes either way.
• Bake on desired setting according to your bread machine.
• Carefully remove pan from the machine when the cooking cycle has finished.
• Cool slightly before slicing and spreading with lashings of butter -- Mmmmmmmmm!
• (Don't forget to check BEFORE slicing if the mixing paddle is still inside the loaf - remove gently if it is.).
• Great toasted next day and also great for Cheese & Pickle Sandwiches on the same day -- or Cheese and Ham, or Cheese & Chutney, or Cheese & Onion -- anything in fact!
