WHITE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the yeast and 2 cups warm water in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the butter, sugar and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in one-third of the flour until smooth. Add another third of the flour and stir, then turn it out onto a floured board to knead. Knead it over 15 minutes, adding the rest of the flour as you knead. Don't let it get dry too fast; it should stay sticky. Put the dough in a buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour.
• Knead the dough another 5 minutes, place it back in the bowl and let it rise another hour.
• Butter 2 loaf pans. Shape the dough into 2 loaves and transfer them to the prepared pans. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the loaves until golden brown on top and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.

PIONEER WOMAN'S MONKEY BREAD

Steps:

• preheat that oven to 350.
• open up all three cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
• At this time you'll want to combine the 1 cup of regular sugar with 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon. I use 3 teaspoons of cinnamon and this gives it a fairly strong cinnamon flavor. If you're not so hot on cinnamon, cut it back to 2 teaspoons. Dump these into a 1 gallon zip bag and shake to mix evenly.
• drop all of the biscuit quarters into the cinnamon-sugar mix. Go ahead...all of them. Yes, they're sticking together right now, but just trust me.
• Once all the biscuit quarters are in the bag, seal it and give it a vigorous shake. You might have some excess sugar left over and that's okay.
• Spread these nuggets out evenly in your bundt pan. I suppose you might want to grease this pan before doing this, but I'm pretty sure the gallon of butter we are about to add will keep it safe. Un-greased always works for me.
• melt those two sticks of butter together with 1/2cup of brown sugar. This can be light or dark brown sugar.
• Stir together over a medium-high heat until the two become one.
• Once the brown sugar butter has become one color, you can pour it over the biscuits.At first...it's going to look like too much. It's okay though.
• Bake this @ 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes until the crust is a deep brown on top.
• If you have the willpower, allow this to cool for about 15-30 minutes before turning it over onto a plate. If it doesn't slide right down onto the plate, give it a few love-taps until it plops. It'll hold.

PIONEER BREAD

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position; preheat oven to 350°; grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
• Whisk the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, corn syrup, and egg together until smooth.
• Gently fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (do not overmix).
• Gently fold in the walnuts, raisins, and dates.
• Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake until golden brown and a pick comes out with just a few crumbs attached, about 40 to 45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
• Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool for 1 hour before serving.
