This is my recipe for white bread...altered a little from a friend of mine's:
2 cups lukewarm water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg
4 1/2 cups king arthur bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast (I use red star)
I use a breadmaker so I put it all in to the machine, in order, then set it for dough.
You can kneed it yourself as well...just make sure when pouring ingredients the yeast does not touch the liquid until you start mixing/kneading.
Kneed until soft dough is formed and let rise in bowl. Punch down and kneed again and let rise in bowl.
(If using bread maker just watch it on the last rise because it overflows in my machine and I have to stop the last rise 30 mins early to avoid a mess.)
After the last rise, punch down and divide dough in half and put each half in a bread pan. Let rise for 30 mins in bread pans then bake for 30 mins at 350.
I usually let it cool overnight on the stove covered with a towel and then slice it all in the am and store in ziplocks.
Make sure you have alot of butter and enjoy!
